Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular dryer for drying the grain, using the technique known as column drying and comprising a vertical flow of the grain under the effect of gravity, according to two distinct layers successively traversed by the air ensuring the drying, which flows along a horizontal path.
- said second layer circulates slower than the first.
- the dryer is made up of superimposed identical elements or modules, each module having its own ventilation means, as well as an individual device for adjusting the temperature of the hot air.
- This modular design has the double advantage of allowing, from common elements, the realization of a range of very different power dryers by the variation of the number of modules, and also an individual adjustment of the flow and the temperature of the air at the level of each module, to obtain the most efficient drying with the lowest heat consumption at the different levels of the column, while respecting the limit heating of the grain beyond which the quality thereof could be altered.
- the known apparatus comprises, at the base of the drying columns, a cooling zone composed of one or more modules similar to the drying modules but traversed by unheated atmospheric air, the grain cooling in this zone and its temperature becoming uniform at the same time as desiccation continues, without additional heat consumption.
- the used air leaving all the modules including the cooling modules is collected, for all the columns by a common evacuation chamber constituted by a box surrounding these columns and provided with a pipe that returns the used air to the atmosphere.
- Such a device fulfills its function well but nevertheless presents a certain number of defects; there is, in particular, significant condensations within the layers of grain being dried, due to the very active evaporation which takes place in the front part of the layer of grains and the temperature differences between the various levels of this layer. ; such condensations capture the dust conveyed by the drying air and clump the grain in the form of plugs which obstruct the passage of air and cause local overheating, with the risk of fire.
- the object of the present invention is the production of a drying device of this kind, which does not have these drawbacks and which in particular allows increased efficiency, that is to say reduced consumption of fuel.
- a modular dryer according to the invention for drying grains, in which the grain flows by gravity in the form of parallel sheets in vertical columns through which the drying air passes horizontally, this dryer being formed of superimposed modules each comprising elements of said columns and ventilation means, some further comprising means for adjusting the temperature of the drying air coming from a common air heater, the columns being arranged in two groups each comprising two adjoining columns, said dryer comprising at its lower part a hopper for evacuating the dried grain coming from said columns, the thickness of which in the drying module or modules placed at the top of the dryer is less than the columns located in the modules placed below which comprise respectively two fans, each fan supplying an air diffusion chamber disposed between the two columns of a group of columns, lesdite s chambers being in relation to a perforated wall of said columns, is characterized in that the diffusion chambers comprise vertical deflectors, and that the fact that the diffusion chambers comprise vertical deflectors, and that the opposite wall of these columns, also perforated, is in communication with a common chamber for discharging the used air
- the dryer according to the invention in the embodiment described and shown is constituted in a manner known per se, by modules M, of generally parallelepiped shape, stacked on each other to form a tower (fig. 2); each of these modules M comprises column elements 12, 13, these elements during the superposition of the modules constituting two groups of two columns for the flow of the grain to be dried in the form of vertical parallel sheets.
- one or more of the drying modules M located at the upper part of the dryer have column elements 13 of thickness thinner than that of the elements 12 of the lower modules (FIG. 1).
- This arrangement tends to avoid condensations which might occur in the grain layers last crossed by the drying air due to the very active evaporation which occurs in the front part of the sheet on the one hand, and less heating of the grain in the rear part of this layer, on the other hand.
- the dryer also has at its upper part one or more modules M 1 for introducing the grain and a cap C, constituting the dryer; in which is poured the grain to be dried, brought by conventional feeding means not shown, which then flows by gravity into the columns.
- Each drying module M comprises two fans 1 for admitting the drying air into diffusion chambers 14 each associated with one of said fans and each arranged between the two columns of a group of columns.
- the dryer also includes a heat generator 4 common to all the modules M (FIG. 2), an annular ring 7 channeling the cold air heated in contact with a central combustion chamber 8, in a dilution chamber 11 common to the different fans 1. Valves 5, 6 associated with these fans (FIG.
- each column element 12, 13 is separated from the associated diffusion chamber 14 by an openwork partition allowing the passage of air and constituted by horizontal profiles forming louvers, inclined downward (FIG. 5) for distribute the hot air in the layer of beans.
- vertical air deflectors 24 extend the edge of these louvers, these deflectors having the aim of regulating the admission of air, avoiding vortices and reducing, to the attack of the grain layer, the component of the speed of the air parallel to the axis of the chamber, known as the “longitudinal scanning component”.
- both the vortices and a significant longitudinal sweep have the effect of causing a combustion of combustible dust and of increasing the risk of fire.
- the spent air after having successively passed through the layers of grains, and the second wall 25, of the columns, also perforated, enters a discharge chamber 15 surrounding said columns and common to the various modules M (FIG. 1).
- This chamber 15 is also common to one or more modules M 2 similar to the modules M and which arranged under these constitute the lower part of the dryer.
- the modules M 2 if they include fans 1 and diffusion chambers 14, are not supplied with hot air, but only with cold air taken from outside and constitute the cooling zone of the dryer.
- the dryer comprises a hopper 26 (FIGS. 1 and 2) into which the dried grain flows flowing from the columns 12, 13, said hopper also communicating with the exhaust air chamber 15 by openings 19 made, for each column, in the lower partition of this chamber.
- the light particles which are expelled from the layer of grains by the drying air, more particularly at the time of the restarting of the fans, and which tend to be deposited on this lower partition, are carried along by the dry grain. during each drain. This prevents their accumulation in chamber 15.
- the hopper 26 is provided with drain flaps 33.
- a horizontal partition 16 separates the evacuation chamber 15 into two parts according to the direction of the height.
- the lower part 15b of the chamber 15 which corresponds to the modules M 2 of the cooling zone and to the modules M located immediately above, is connected by pipes preferably insulated 17, to an area traversed by the flow fresh air before passing through the grain, and preferably at the outlet of the hot air generator ( Figures 3 and 4).
- the used air coming from this lower part 15b of the chamber 15 is mixed with the fresh air.
- a scraper (not shown) is advantageously provided for ridding the partition of this waste, this scraper consisting for example of a chain on which are scraped pallets, manually actuated from the outside of the dryer, without the need to stop the operation of it.
- the scraper outlet layer is connected to a bagging mouth which collects the waste to be removed.
- the invention provides a dustproof device.
- This device consists of flaps 18 ( Figure 4) controlled by a cylinder 27 and arranged at the inlet of the conduits 17 in the lower part of the evacuation chamber.
- the timer controlling the emptying of the grain also acts on said flaps to block any air circulation in the lower part of the dryer, with simultaneous shutdown of the fans.
- a safety device prohibits emptying until the shutters 18 are closed.
- the invention also provides, according to FIG. 4, for placing in the dryer a heat exchanger such as 20, shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, advantageously of the type known as “with plates and crossed currents •.
- This exchanger 20 places very humid and still hot spent air in thermal contact, for example at a temperature between 40 and 45 ° C., before discharge into the atmosphere, with the cooler incoming fresh air.
- This incoming air preheated for example to a temperature of 30-35 ° C, is transferred to the air heater 4 by a pipe 21 under the action of a fan 22 ( Figure 3).
- a recycling circuit comprising a pipe 30, preferably insulated, joining the inlet pipe of the main circuit to the outlet pipe 21 of this circuit by bridging both the exchanger 20 and the fan 22, whose flow is adjusted so as to exceed that required for supplying the dryer with fresh air.
- the excess flow thus created is, under the effect of the suppression prevailing in the pipe, returned to the fresh air inlet pipe and will therefore be sucked back into the exchanger, undergoing a new heating. Partial recycling of the fresh air is thus obtained through the exchanger.
- the outgoing waste air is practically saturated with humidity and during its passage through the exchanger 20 it cools, causing a partial condensation of this humidity on the plates of the exchanger, on which part of the dust contained in the outgoing air will tend to stick.
- the exchanger plates will be arranged vertically and the circulation of the used air between these plates will be done vertically from top to bottom. The water polluted by dust and various wastes will thus be driven down, collected in a tank and finally evacuated by an appropriate pipe.
- the exchanger will advantageously include in its upper box, pressure water spraying ramps which will be actuated intermittently, to clean the surface of the plates without having to carry out any disassembly.
- FIG. 4 shows the temperatures of the incoming and outgoing air recorded during a test, in the various modules, both for drying and for cooling, of a dryer according to the invention comprising ten modules in all.
- dryers according to the invention comprising a different number of modules, for example between 4 and 16 modules without this being limiting.
