Abstract

See full text

A drier apparatus for removing water from various materials includes a drying chamber, a regenerator system, a drying fluid system, and a heating fluid recirculation system and a method for use of the apparatus. The material to be dried flows concurrently through the drier with a heating fluid that is segregated from the material but in heat transfer relationship with the material. A drying fluid flows countercurrent through the chamber so as to become heated and at least partially saturated from moisture released by the material. The drying fluid is then used to preheat recycled heating fluid which is further heated by a makeup heater. In some embodiments, the drying fluid is also recycled to the chamber after passing through a chiller.
