    The dryer is 98.8 inches long with dimensions of 18.7 in by 37 in by 60 in. It uses hot air drying to remove moisture from materials by exposing them to a blast of hot air in the dryer tunnel. Samples are placed in trays in the dryer tunnel and weighed periodically to measure moisture loss over time as hot air flows through the dryer heating and drying the samples through simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The dryer is started by running the boiler to produce steam which is piped into the dryer's heating tubes to heat the air, and a blower is used to circulate the hot air through the dryer tunnel and over the samples.

    DRYER SET UP

    1. SPECIFICATIONS
    Parts:
    3 valves
    Dimensions:
    18.7 in by 37 in by 60 in
    98.8 in (length of the dryer)
    2. PRINCIPLE
    Drying refers generally to the removal of moisture from a substance. Three basic
    methods of drying are used today 1) sun drying, a traditional method in which materials
    dry naturally in the sun, 2) hot air drying in which materials are exposed to a blast of hot
    air and 3) freeze drying, in which frozen materials are placed in a vacuum chamber to
    draw out the water. The fundamental nature of all drying process is the removal of
    volatile substances (mainly moisture) from mixture to yield a solid product. Throughout
    the convective drying of solid materials, two processes occur simultaneously namely,
    transfer of energy from the local environment in the dryer and transfer of moisture from
    within the solid. Therefore this unit operation may be considered as simultaneous heat
    and mass transfer operation.
    3. OPERATING PROCEDURE
    3.1 Start-Up
    3.1.1. Run the boiler. Wait until the pressure gauge in the steam
    discharge shows a reading about 25 psi.
    3.1.2. Open the steam inlet to the heating tubes of the tunnel dryer.
    Let the steam run inside the tubes for about 15 minutes with
    the condensate outlet valve closed.
    3.1.3. Open the condensate outlet valve and let the steam flow until
    rate of condensation of steam becomes constant.
    3.1.4. Switch on the blower to the tunnel with the sample
    compartment empty.
    3.1.5. Measure the exit (dry bulb) temperature and the velocity of
    the heated air every 2 minutes until both becomes constant.

    Process

    3.2.1. Place a layer of dry solids approximately 1 cm thick in the


    tray. Record the weight of the dry solids.
    3.2.2. Saturate the solids with water and record the weight of wet
    solids. Place the tray in the drier.
    3.2.3. After about 10 minutes, remove the tray in the drier. Weigh
    quickly and return to the drier. Take note of the outlet
    temperature of air (dry bulb and wet bulb), air velocity and
    the exact drying time also, measure the humidity of the air
    leaving the drier.
    3.2.4. Repeat step 3 until there is no further change in the weight of
    the solid sample.
    3.2.5. Perform second and third trials using fresh solid sample for
    each trial.
    2

    Shutdown
    3.3.1. Initialize boiler shutdown. (NOTE: shutdown of boiler must be
    initialize when all the other steam consumers are done with
    the experiment.)
    3.3.2. Let the blower operate continuously for about 15 minutes
    with the boiler shut.
    3.3.3. Check the condensate outlet. Keep to open until no more
    condensate is coming out. Tap the pipe gently, when no
    condensate drops, close the steam inlet and outlet valves.
    3.3.4. Switch off the blower.
    3.3.5. Put the dried sand away. Clean the tray and the solid sample
    compartment.
