Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Industrial Dryers: Operational Strategies
The 3 kEys
- One of the simplest yet most effective ways to minimize idle time is by integrating intelligent scheduling systems that align dryer availability with upstream and downstream processes.
- Overloading can cause airflow restrictions, leading to uneven drying, longer cycle times, and increased energy consumption. Conversely, underloading results in excessive energy use per unit of product due to inefficient heat transfer.
- Modifying internal air distribution using CFD analysis can generate as much as 20% increases in drying efficiency by ensuring uniform heat exposure across the product.
Industrial dryers are indispensable in manufacturing, yet they remain among the most energy-intensive pieces of equipment on the factory floor. Facilities Managers seeking to reduce operating costs have a number of low to no-investment strategies available to them, in the interest of enhancing d...
