Classification of dryers
(1) dryers in which the solid is directly exposed to a hot
gas (usually air)
(2) dryers in which heat is transferred to the solid from
an external medium such as condensing steam, usually
through a metal surface with which the solid is in contact
(3) dryers that are heated by dielectric ,radiant, or
microwave energy. Dryers that expose the solids to a hot gas
are called adiabatic or direct dryers; those in which heat is
transferred from an external medium are known as
nonadiabatic or indirect dryers

Methods of estimating drying rates in the fallingrate period depend on whether the solid is
porous or nonporous. In an nonporous material,
once there is no more superficial moisture to
the surface. In a porous material other
mechanisms appear , and vaporization may
even take place inside the solid instead of at the
surface.

4.2 Screen-conveyor dryers
A typical through-circulation screen-conveyor dryer is
shown in Fig 24.9. A layer 25 to 150 mm(1 to 6 in) thick
of material to be dried is slowly carried on a traveling
metal screen through a long drying chamber or tunnel.
The chamber consists of a series of separate sections,
each with its own fan and air heater. At the inlet end of
the dryer, the air usually passes upward the screen and
the solids; near the discharge end, where the material is
dry and may be dusty, air is passed downward through
the screen. The air temperature and humidity may differ
in the various sections, to give optimum conditions for
drying at each point

General considerations
There are some general guidelines for selecting a dryer,
but it should be recognized that the rules are far from
rigid and exceptions not uncommon. Batch dryers ,for
example, are most often used when the production rate
of dried solid is less than 150 to 200 kg./h(300 to
400lb/h);continuous dryers are nearly always chosen for
production rates greater than 1 or 2 ton/h. At intermediate
production rates other factors must be considered.
Thermally sensitive materials must be dried at low
temperature under vacuum, with a low-temperature
heating medium, or very rapidly as in a flash or spray
dryer. Fragile crystals must be handled gently as in a tray
dryer, a screen-conveyor dryer,or tower dryer.
