AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing hot air drying technology, the residual heat in the humid air after drying cannot be effectively recovered, resulting in serious energy waste, and the open-loop circulation consumes a lot of heat.

Method used

Design a waste heat recovery system for food hot air drying. By condensing the moisture in the humid air after drying, the waste heat is recovered and reused in the drying process, realizing a closed loop and reducing steam consumption.

Benefits of technology

It enables the recovery and reuse of waste heat in humid air, reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and improving energy efficiency.
