HOT FEED [9 records]

Record 1 2024-08-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Renewable Energy
  • Heat (Physics)
CONT

Thermo-osmotic energy conversion(TOEC) is an emerging process that efficiently extracts energy from low-grade heat sources. By utilizing a temperature gradient, TOEC induces a partial vapor pressure difference across a hydrophobic membrane. This pressure gradient drives the vapor from the hot feed side through the membrane's pores to the cold permeate side. The movement of water from the hot feed side to the permeate side of the membrane results in excess fluid in the cold reservoir, generating a pressurized flow that can be harnessed to drive a turbine and generate electricity.

CONT

The rotary dryer, sometimes known as a rotary kiln, is a type of industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimize the moisture content of the material it is handling by bringing it into direct contact with heated gas. The dryer is made up of a large, rotating cylindrical tube, usually supported by concrete columns or steel beams. The dryer slopes slightly so that the discharge end is lower than the material feed end in order to convey the material through the dryer under gravity. Material to be dried enters the higher end of the dryer, and as the dryer rotates, the material is lifted up by a series of internal fins lining the inner wall of the dryer. When the material gets high enough to roll back off the fins, it falls back down to the bottom of the dryer, passing through the hot air stream as it falls.

OBS

Typical material rotary dryers process include: aggregates, agricultural grains and by-products, animal feeds, animal waste, biosolids, ceramics, clay, fertilizers ...

CONT

Un séchoir rotatif comprend un cylindre conçu pour effectuer une rotation autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, des éléments chauffants s'étendant longitudinalement le long de la surface interne du cylindre et servant à transporter un milieu chauffant, un raccordement rotatif à travers lequel le milieu chauffant est acheminé en direction et en provenance des éléments chauffants, des éléments servant à créer une atmosphère de vapeur à l'intérieur du séchoir et des éléments servant à empêcher ou à limiter sensiblement l'entrée d'air dans le séchoir.

OBS

Certaines céréales (maïs, blé tendre, orge, ...) ou oléoprotéagineux (colza, tournesol, pois, soja, ...) nécessitent un séchage pour ramener le taux d'humidité des grains récoltés à des niveaux compatibles avec leur bonne conservation.

Subject field(s)
  • Concrete Facilities and Equipment
DEF

Component of mixing plant in which materials are mixed together.

CONT

Two types of plants are used to make hot mix asphalt concrete, the batch type mixing plant and the drum mix plant A batch plant mixes, then drops individual batches of hot mix asphalt concrete and a drum mix plant is a continuous flow type of production plant. In a batch type mixing plant different sizes of aggregates are drawn from a multi-bin cold feed system into an enclosed counter flow rotary drum. After the aggregate is dried, it is lifted to the top of the batching tower and on to a screen system which separates the aggregate into different sizes and then drops the different sizes into individual bins. Aggregate is then drawn from the hot bins in predetermined amounts, weighed and dropped into a pug mill mixer with the correct amount of liquid asphalt. The batch is mixed, then dropped into a waiting truck or sent to a surge bin until trucks arrive. In a drum mix plant a metered, four compartment, cold feed bin system supplies the exact amount of the required size of aggregates to the rotating drum mixer The drum mixer is an inclined, parallel flow dryer/mixer in which the aggregate is dried and heated in the upper section of the drum, then mixed with liquid in the lower part of the drum. From the drum the hot mix is discharged into a hot elevator which lifts the finished product to a surge hopper or storage silo both equipped to load trucks.

L'objectif d'une centrale d'enrobage est de produire, à partir de divers matériaux, un béton bitumeux (appelé "enrobé") qui sera transporté à chaud vers le chantier d'épandage, pour former la couche supérieure du revêtement des infrastructures routières [...] Ces centrales fonctionnent en cycle continu ou non, à tambour sécheur ou non, et peuvent atteindre une productivité de 100 à 400 tonnes par heure [...] Les tapis doseurs se déversent sur un tapis collecteur qui apporte les granulats à l'entrée du tambour sécheur rotatif, qui est destiné à évacuer l'humidité et à porter les granulats à une température d'environ 150 °C, compatible au mélange avec le bitume.

CONT

Although a primary purpose of re-injection is to avoid pollution, an advantageous side-effect could be the virtual provision of "hot feed", to mitigate or delay the infeed of cold waters from outside the confines of a field as the hot fluids are withdrawn in the process of exploiting the latter.
