Definitions
- TITLE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEHU- MIDIFICATION
- the present invention concerns a method and an apparatus for dehumidifying, drying or the like of many differ- ent types of material.
- the material for dehumidifying or the like may be chemical and organic materials, such as sewage sludge, colour, foodstuffs, parts of humans or animals .
- Prior Art The present invention is based on the concept of employing thermal radiation. Thermal radiation has the characteristic property that it requires no medium for transferring energy between two bodies. This may be likened to the energy of the sun, which is conveyed to the earth. Radiation having relatively short wavelengths will penetrate into openings of the surface layer of the material to be dehumidified, dried or the like. The radiation going through these openings will be reflected multiple times from moisture molecule to moisture molecule.
- the material will form a black surface.
- the above process may be named "radiation of void", thus applying for radiation having wavelengths shorter than the openings of the surface structure. Due to the small openings in the molecular structure of the material to be dehumidified the radiation will be isotropic, i.e. the intensity is the same in all directions.
- the radiation will have the spectral distribution described by Kirchhoff' s law: a ⁇ ( ⁇ ,T) a 2 ( ⁇ ,T) and Stefan-Boltzmann' s law regarding the total intensity:
- the present invention is mainly developed for treatment, i.e. dehumidification, sanitation or drying, of sew- age sludge, but a person skilled in the art realises that it may be used for many different materials.
- the present invention is also appropriate for dehumidification or drying of some foodstuffs. Suitable foodstuffs may be crispbread, pasta etc.
- the invention will be described mainly with sewage sludge as an example.
- the present invention is based on the concept of only employing radiation energy (thermal radiation) for heating the sludge or other material and that the radiation employed encompasses a wave length range within which water has a high absorption coefficient.
- the radiation at other wavelengths is reduced.
- a heat source is used to emit heat radiation. Vaporised moisture will be taken away by circulating air from the surface of the material to be dehumidified. The vapori- sation of moisture of the material is done by means of absorption and reflection.
- the heat source will emit heat radiation at wavelengths at which water has high capacity of absorption, with absorption coefficients larger than 1000 cm -1 .
- the moisture ratio after drying should be 20% or less. By using the method of the present invention the moisture ratio may be decreased well below 20%. In the drying process the sludge will also be sanitised to a certain degree. As the sludge is heated to 70- 120 °C in the process most bacteria of the sludge will be killed.
- the sanitised sludge may be recycled, i.e. it may be placed on e.g. fields for standing crops.
- the method of the present invention can be used as a part of an ecological system of recycling. By such a system a number of advantages may be reached.
- the dried and sani- tised material such as sewage sludge may be deposit or burned.
- the amount of refuse is reduced, decreasing the use of resources. If the dehumidified sludge is burned different materials may be recovered, saving resources and energy compared to using fresh raw material. It is possible to re- cover heavy metals, chromium, nickel, copper etc. from the ash after burning.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a drying chamber according to the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of a modified chamber according to the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is an "open" end view in sketch form of a chamber according to the present invention.
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view of one example of a heat source to be used in the chamber of the present invention.
- Figs. 1-3 show one embodiment of a drying apparatus including a drying chamber 1 in which the drying of the sludge or other material takes place.
- the expression "element” 2 will be employed below to refer to a radiation source.
- the element is designed as a device emitting radiation comprising a selected wavelength region.
- the elements 2 are made of a cen- tral electric resistor 15 surrounded by a tube 14.
- the electric resistor is replaced by hot water as the radiation source of the element 2.
- other energy media is possible to use as the radiation source. Independent of which energy media that is used, it should be sur- rounded by a tube 14.
- the energy medium may be made more effective by the use of a plasma or a dielectric.
- the elements 2 may be placed in racks or frames 12. Reflectors are normally placed in connection with the elements. In order to realise good reflection of the radia- tion, the reflectors are generally made of aluminium, stainless steel or other high-reflective material. In the frequencies employed, these materials display reflection coefficients exceeding 95%. Radiation which impinges on the reflectors is guided by them back to the sludge. It is not a requirement that reflectors are employed, but they do contribute to a reduction in energy consumption. Normally, the elements 2 are disposed in any optional direction whatever in relation to the longitudinal direction of the drying chamber 1.
- the walls of the chamber are clad on the inside with stainless and/or acid proof steel, aluminium or similar high-reflective material for radiation within the above-indicated selected wavelength region.
- the interior of the drying chamber is designed as a large reflector.
- the walls are generally thermally insulating.
- a door 21 is arranged at each end of the chamber 1. In other embodiments there is a door 21 only at one end of the chamber 1, in which case the sludge 7 or other material is taken in and out of the chamber 1 at the same end.
- the sludge 7 is normally received on a conveyor belt 13.
- a conveyor belt 13 of stainless steel is used to support the material to be dehumidified, reflecting some radiation back to the sludge 7.
- the conveyor belt 13 is made of a net of wires of stainless steel or the like. If the conveyor belt has a mesh form some elements 2 are placed in the centre of the conveyor, i.e. between the upper and lower horizontal parts of the conveyor.
- the sludge 7 is re- ceived on one or more carriages, that may be rolled into and out of the drying chamber 1. Also the carriages may have sludge receiving surfaces of a high reflective material, such as stainless steel.
- the drying chamber 1 is normally placed on legs 19.
- the drying chamber 1 is, in the illustrated embodiment, provided with a circulation fan 4 and a ventilation damper 11.
- An air inlet 16 and an air outlet 17 are placed at opposite ends of the chamber 1. Both the air inlet 16 and the air outlet 17 are normally furnished with dampers, to open and close the inlet 16 and outlet 17, respectively.
- the partitions 20 normally have openings for the conveyor belt 13.
- a conduit 3 for recirculation of air is provided, giving recovery of energy.
- a heat exchanger 18 is placed in the conduit 3 for recirculation.
- the conduit 3 including the heat exchanger 18 makes it possible to dehumidify and recirculate the air of the drying chamber.
- dampers 11 are placed at each end of the conduit 3.
- the active part of the circulation fan 4 is placed in the conduit 3.
- the active part of the circulation fan 4 is placed inside the chamber 1.
- the circulation fan 4 irrespective of the exact plac- ing, circulates the air in the drying chamber 1 and thereby conveys off moisture, which departs from the surface of the sludge 7.
- the task of the fan system is to circulate the air around the sludge and thereby entrain moisture from the surface of the sludge.
- use is normally made of a flow rate of 1-5 m/s.
- the ventilation damper 11 is employed for regulating the air velocity and the speed of dehumidification in the drying chamber 1. In some embodiments there are more then one damper 11.
- an indicator 5 for measuring the temperature in the drying chamber 1 and/or of the air which departs from and/or is fed to the drying chamber 1. Also the temperature of the sludge 7 may be controlled. Different indicators for different te pera- tures may be used, measuring both the "wet" and "dry" tern- peratures .
- thermometer water For a "wet" thermometer water is cooled by evaporation until equilibrium, i.e. the heats of evaporation and volatilisation are the same.
- the dampers 11 of the chamber 1 may be controlled by the wet temperature.
- an indicator 9 measuring the temperature of the sludge 7 is used. Said indicator 9 is placed in the sludge 7.
- indicators 6 that measure the relative air humidity.
- a psy- chrometer is used in some embodiments.
- the weighing may be performed in that the chamber is placed on scales or load sensing elements 10.
- Said scales or load sensing elements 10 are in some embodiments integrated in the legs 19 on which the chamber 1 is placed.
- a con- denser 8 placed below the conveyer belt 13 is used. By means of the condenser 8 some energy is recovered.
- drying of the sludge 3 takes place with the aid of the elements 2.
- These elements 2 emit a radiation in a limited wavelength interval adapted to the ab- sorption of water.
- the element 2 consists of an electric resistor 15 disposed centrally in the tube 14 and heated when current from a voltage source passes through the resistor via conductors (not shown) .
- the wavelength band has been selected at the range of approx. 2-20 ⁇ m and as a rule approx. 5-20 ⁇ m, a range that encompasses wavelengths at which the absorption of radiation by water is great.
- a range that encompasses wavelengths at which the absorption of radiation by water is great.
- the water has peaks at approx. 3 ⁇ m, 6-7 ⁇ m and 10-20 ⁇ m regarding the absorption. Between approx. 7 ⁇ m and lO ⁇ m the absorption coefficient of water is lower, sinking under 1,000 cm "1 .
- they should have maximal intensity at the frequencies where water has maximal absorption, while the radiation at other wavelengths should be reduced.
- one object of the present invention is to have a radiation with maximal intensity at the wavelengths where water has a high absorption coefficient, while the intensity is reduced at other wavelengths.
- the peak at 3 ⁇ m is rather thin and demands a very high temperature making it less suitable to use.
- the intensity of the radiation of the elements is directed to the intervals approx. 6-7 ⁇ m and 10-20 ⁇ m and the intensity is reduced in the intermediate area, i.e. approx. 7-10 ⁇ m.
- the energy of the radiation is used in a way to give maximal effect.
- I the intensity
- e the natural logarithm
- ⁇ a constant depending on the material of the tube 14 or the like surrounding the resistor 15.
