Description
The
set-up is designed to demonstrate and stimulate the moisture removal by heat
under forced draft action created by hot air stream and fluidization property
of solid to dry.
The set-up consists of a specially designed, vertical Column. The lower
conical portion of the column is filled with moist solids. The material is
supported on the screen mesh held between two flanges. Air from blower passes
through heating chamber to produce hot air works as the drying agent entered
from lower side of the column and leave the column from top outlet removes
the moisture of solids. At the top outlet of column a cyclone is provided to
collect the solid particles taken out by the air stream. An arrangement is
made to vary and measure the airflow rate. A digital temperature controller
is used to control and measure the temperature of air stream
