ABOUT THE CD DRYER
- Are there applications other than drying for the CD Dryer?
- The CD Dryer can be used for concentrating liquids as well as drying.
- Why is the CD Dryer so compact?
- The biggest factor in the small size of our dryers is the use of hollow disks. Using both sides of the disks as drying surfaces, the CD Dryer can provide more drying surface area in a smaller space than is needed for drum dryers. The small size of our dryers makes installation and use easy.
- Why does efficiency increase with the use of hollow disks?
- The CD dryer uses hollow disks as heat transfer surfaces. The volume of the disk, and the space through which steam must pass, is dramatically smaller than the drum of a drum dryer. As a result, steam flows quickly, thermal efficiency increases, and drying can be accomplished using a relatively low-pressure steam. Utilizing the characteristics of a disk, we have been able to make the disk material relatively thin, further increasing thermal efficiency.
- What kind of reduction in various costs can I expect after installing a CD Dryer?
- While it is impossible to put a general figure on the cost reduction without knowing your specific details, see our case studies pages for some examples of the cost benefits some of our clients have experienced.
(Our sales staff can provide you with an individual cost-benefit simulation. )
