  • Assessment of a Two-Stage Zeolite Dryer for Energy-Efficient Drying

    by M. Djaeni, P. V. Bartels, C. J. van Asselt, J. P. M. Sanders, G. van Straten, A. J. B. van Boxtel

    Multistage adsorption drying with zeolite is experimentally\ud evaluated for a single- and a two-stage dryer. For a 1:1 ratio between air flows for drying and regeneration, the energy efficiency for a single-stage system 50–54% and for the two-stage system 63%. Calculations with a calibrated model show that the two-stage system achieves a 4:1 ratio between the air flows an efficiency of 85%, 12% above that of a single-stage system. A sensitivity analysis shows the\ud influence of operational conditions on the energy efficiency. Options to realize multistage adsorption dryer systems and to control such systems as well as the economic aspects are discussed.\ud \ud Keyword Adsorption; Drying; Energy efficiency; Regeneration;\ud Zeolit


  • Multistage Zeolite Drying for Energy-Efficient Drying

    by M. Djaeni, P. Bartels, J. Sanders, G. van Straten, A. J. B. van Boxtel

    This work discusses the potential of three multistage zeolite drying systems (counter-, co-, and cross-current) with a varying number of stages. The evaluation showed that for 2–4 stages with heat recovery the efficiency of the systems ranges between 80 and 90%. Additionally, by introducing a compressor, the latent heat in the exhaust air from the regenerator is recovered and used to heat the inlet air for an additional drying stage. As a result, for the counter-current drying system and compressor pressure 1.5–2 bar, a maximum energy efficiency of 120% is achieved, which results in halving the energy consumption compared to conventional drying systems.


  • Process Integration for Food Drying with Air Dehumidified by Zeolites

    by M. Djaeni, P. Bartels, J. Sanders, G. van Straten, A. J. B. van Boxtel

    Zeolites have potential to increase efficiency of medium-temperature drying in the food industry. This work concerns the comparison between conventional dryers and dryers using air dehumidified by zeolite. Steady-state mass and energy balances have been used and the work concerns drying temperatures ranging from 52 to 70°C. Process integration based on pinch analysis has been applied and nine different heat exchanger networks for energy recovery are compared. Results indicated that dryers using air dehumidifier by zeolites are 10–18% more efficient than conventional dryers.
