Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural product processing, and in particular relates to a flat-plate vacuum pulsation dryer. Background technique [0002] Drying is an important part of agricultural product processing. Different from vacuum drying technology, vacuum pulsation drying is a drying technology in which the pressure in the drying chamber fluctuates periodically according to certain rules. Comparative experiments show that vacuum pulsation drying has higher drying efficiency, shorter drying time and better rehydration than vacuum drying. This is because: First, the reason why the material is dry is because the partial pressure of water vapor on the evaporation surface It is greater than the partial pressure of water vapor in the dry environment, that is, there is a pressure gradient between the two, and the drying rate is proportional to the size of this pressure gradient. However, the current vacuum drying technology ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] First, complex pipelines need to be welded, and the equipment manufacturing cost is high

In order to improve the heat transfer efficiency, the heating part often adopts a labyrinth of water (oil), and there are many welds, which are easy to leak. Moreover, because it is used in a vacuum environment, the welding is easy to leak vacuum, which significantly increases the processing difficulty and processing cost of the equipment. ; At the same time, the equipment also needs to be equipped with accessories such as hot water tanks and hot water pumps, which increases the additional cost of drying equipment

[0006] Second, high energy consumption

To complete the heating medium circulation, the heating medium often needs to reach a certain amount, and it takes a lot of energy to heat it; the heating medium circulates in complex pipelines, and there is a large amount of head loss; and for uniform heating, sufficient heating, and heat The water circulation pump needs to run continuously, which increases the energy consumption of the equipment; at the same time, when a batch of materials is dried and the next batch of materials is not continuously dried, a large amount of heat contained in the heating medium will be lost and wasted

[0007] Third, the heating medium circulation pipeline system is prone to fouling and blockage, and is difficult to clean. Once a failure occurs, the heating medium in the complex pipeline needs to be poured out and replaced for maintenance, which is very inconvenient to maintain

[0008] Fourth, it is not conducive to the dynamic regulation of heating temperature

At present, the drying heat transfer of vacuum pulsation drying technology is mainly based on heat conduction, and the heat transfer effect will greatly affect the efficiency of vacuum pulsation drying and the quality of products

At present, the drying trays are mostly made of metal materials, with a thickness ranging from 1 to 1.5 mm. However, due to their large area and thin-walled structure, it is difficult to make the trays completely flat, resulting in poor bonding between the trays and the heating surface. Tight, large thermal resistance; at the same time, the large temperature range during the drying process (temperature rise ranges from 20 to 60°C), and the inevitable collision during use will also warp the hard metal tray. Concave and convex conditions, such as poor contact in the area, point-like heat conduction, etc., lead to insufficient and uneven heat supply for drying, affecting drying efficiency, and causing uneven drying of materials
