This document summarizes the components and functions of a forced draft tray dryer. The dryer consists of a drying chamber made of stainless steel that holds trays for drying material. Hot air is drawn into the chamber by an axial fan and heated by finned heaters to control the temperature. Sensors measure the humidity and temperature of the incoming and outgoing air. Controls on a panel allow monitoring energy use, temperature, weight loss of material, and air velocity through the dryer. The dryer components are housed separately and the entire unit rests on angled supports at 800mm height.

The equipment consist of a drying chamber (400 (H) * 400 (D) * 1000 (L) mm, SS 304, 2 mm thick) insulated with glass wool (25 mm thick) and covered with powder coated MS sheet (1.5 mm thick) in which tray rack (SS 304) & trays (2 Nos., SS 304) are to be hanged. The drying chamber is provided with toughened glass door (300 (H) * 400 (L) mm) and handle. Hot air to the drying chamber is to be drawn with the help of an axial flow fan (variable speed) and before entering heated by finned type heaters and the temperature of the same is controlled by a digital temperature indicator-controller (with digital display, Set point variation facility) and indicated on the digital display. Energy consumption for the drying can be observed using the digital energy meter provided on the control panel. Wet and Dry bulb thermocouples are mounted at entry and exit ends of the drying chamber to measure the humidity of the entering and leaving air. Wet bulb thermocouple is provided with proper water storage facility in the back portion. These temperatures are indicated on the digital temperature indicator on the control panel. Heating elements and Axial flow fan (0.25 HP, Single Phase, 230 V AC, Variable Speed) are mounted in separate housing of the same height and depth but 400 mm length. (400 (H) * 400 (D) * 400 (L) mm, SS 304, 3 mm thick) insulated with glass wool (25 mm thick) and covered with powder coated MS sheet (1.5 mm thick) The loss of moisture will from the material to be dried can be continuously monitored with the help of a digital weighing machine (5 kg cap., 5 gm accuracy, LED display, 230 V AC power supply) mounted directly over the heating chamber. Air velocity through the tray dryer is measured with the help of digital anemometer (Range: 0-45 m/sec, Resolution 0.1 m/sec, Accuracy: 3 % Full Scale, Sensitive for low/ high velocity, 2 m coiled cable/ back mounting screw for long extension, data hold function, operating temperature 10 C – 50 C), 31/2 digit LED display, Power Source: 9 V battery, with carrying case). The control panel consist of Digital Energy Meter, Digital Temperature Indicator with Selector Switch, On/ Off switches and Indictor lamps for Heaters and fan, Space for Anemometer mounting, Digital Temperature Controller-Indicator and is mounted over the fan housing. The entire equipment is rested on 35 * 35 mm, 5 mm thick angle at 800 mm height for proper visualisation.
