Flow Behaviors Study on Superheated Steam Fluidized Bed Drying

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper, we theoretical analysis the gas-particle flow behaviors in the drying chamber. Then establish a small experimental device and conduct a comparative fluidization experiment with superheated steam and hot air, which the dried rapeseed particles are the experimental material. The critical fluidizing velocity of the rapeseed particles in superheated steam is 1.26 m/s in the experimental condition. The experimental results show that the inlet operating flow velocity of superheated steam fluidized bed drying is greater than which of the traditional hot air fluidized bed dying under the same conditions.
