Novokhat O. The drying process fluting using infrared energy

The dissertation is devoted to research the process of drying fluting using infrared energy. Theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed the effectiveness fluting drying using infrared energy, especially in periods of heating and drying the first period. The basis of theoretical research on the principles of physical and mathematical modeling. A new kinetic relationships fluting drying process using infrared energy at different technological parameters of the process. Shown that the temperature of fluting in the first period of drying the low density of radiant flux is almost constant and is equal to the temperature of wet thermometer; temperature fluting in the first period of drying increases during increasing density of radiant heat flow and approaches the saturation temperature. The influence of process parameters on the intensity of the process and recommendations on rational choice of these parameters. Established specific energy expenditure during drying fluting using infrared energy at different charging and electricity costs compared to the use of water vapor in the drying cylinders. Shown that infrared drying fluting reduce the cost of natural gas for the production of water vapor and carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by burning natural gas. The results introduced in paper-making machinery.Keywords: fluting, drying, infrared radiation, moisture content.
