Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material sublimation drying technology. More specifically, this invention relates to a method, system, apparatus, and medium for simulating heat transfer during the material sublimation drying process. Background Technology

[0002] The sublimation drying process comprises three stages: freezing, sublimation, and desorption drying. The sublimation drying stage is typically conducted at low pressure and low temperature (temperature ≤ 0.0098 degrees Celsius, pressure ≤ 4.58 mmHg). By reducing the pressure in the drying chamber, the ice in the sublimated material is directly converted into a gaseous state (sublimation). This process avoids the liquid stage and is suitable for heat-sensitive materials such as food and pharmaceuticals, effectively removing moisture while preserving the material's structure and active ingredients. In sublimation drying, the generated water vapor is cooled and captured in a cold trap, thus achieving drying.

[0003] Analytical drying occurs during the heating stage of sublimation drying, ideally after sublimation drying is complete. Currently, most companies rely on the experience of production operators to determine the sublimation endpoint, a method that is highly subjective and difficult to guarantee consistency. During sublimation drying, the sublimation endpoint varies significantly between different agricultural products and even between different batches of the same product. Therefore, relying solely on experience is easily influenced by factors such as the operator's experience level and the product's origin, making it difficult to ensure standardized production. Installing temperature detection equipment during the sublimation process to monitor the internal temperature of the product to determine the sublimation endpoint is a common method for detecting the endpoint of material sublimation drying. However, due to the limited number of temperature sensor detection points and the variability of agricultural products, the temperature monitoring results lack universality. Furthermore, the temperature sensor detection process is invasive, which can damage the original external structure of the material, affecting the consistency of the sublimated dried product. Therefore, the lack of a scientific and standardized method for determining the endpoint of agricultural product sublimation drying significantly impacts the stability of the sublimation drying production cycle and product quality. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to develop more convenient, accurate, and reliable methods for predicting the sublimation endpoint by combining the characteristics of agricultural products and operating parameters, so as to accurately optimize the sublimation drying process and production cycle, achieve more energy-saving and green sublimation drying production, and ultimately improve the standardization of sublimation drying production.

[0004] Simulation can use mathematical modeling based on actual production parameters and material properties to accurately predict physical and chemical changes during processing and optimize processing techniques. Agricultural products, such as fruits and vegetables, are mainly rich in water, soluble solids, and crude fiber. Applying mathematical simulation to the sublimation drying process of agricultural products, coupling the properties of the products with sublimation drying parameters, allows for advance prediction of the temperature, pressure, and endpoint of the sublimation drying process based on the differences in the physical properties of different agricultural products and the sublimation drying conditions. This avoids over- or under-sublimation drying, provides accurate references for subsequent heating operations, and reduces production costs. Currently, no simulation method has been proposed for the sublimation drying process to predict the temperature, phase transition, and endpoint of the sublimation drying process, thus achieving standardization in the sublimation drying production of materials (especially agricultural products).

[0060] In the above technical solution, considering the influence of soluble solids content and freezing temperature on the average pore size of the material during sublimation, under ideal conditions (coarse fiber content in the material is 0), the mass fraction of soluble solids in the material was set in a gradient (5%, 10%, 20%, 40%), and the freezing temperature was set (20℃, 40℃, 80℃, 196℃). The average pore size in the material was obtained experimentally for each. The average pore size in the material was fitted with the mass fraction of soluble solids and the freezing temperature, respectively. It was found that the soluble solids content has a relatively small impact on the average pore size of the material, while the freezing temperature has a relatively large impact.

By using finite difference iterative calculations, the ice saturation at any point within the material at any time can be obtained, i.e., the spatiotemporal distribution field of the material's ice saturation. In practical applications, the ice saturation S in step S6 is obtained... i After determining the spatiotemporal distribution field of S, further analysis of S is possible. i The spatiotemporal distribution field is solved to obtain the remaining ice crystal content during the material sublimation process (this is a conventional solution method in this field, which will not be elaborated on here).
