In this component granulate will be dried. The nitrogen gas with an oxygen
content of <4% will be transported in a circuit. In the vortex drier T900,
the product will be dried to the specified water content (0.5-1.0% residual
moisture). A rotating rake will distribute the humid granulate onto the sieve
bottom. Gas from the bottom will be blown in to swirl the product and
transport it to the back of the drier where it will be cooled.
An overflow weir is located in front of the exit. This procedure guarantees
the defined layer thicknesses on the fluid bed. The exhaust gas of the
vortex drier T 900 will be transported to a washer after removing the fine
contents.
Specific characteristics of this calculation:
• This is an existing component made in 1969 which had to be optimized
for new conditions.
• Therefore the first step was to examine whether the pressure increase
could be realized without any changes or modifications.
• This wasn’t possible so for the second step cost-effective improvement
proposals had to be made.
• To achieve this goal, all stiffening parts such as edges, corners, flanges,
etc. had to be taken into account for the FEM calculation.
• Sheet thicknesses only 2 mm.
