DRIER AND PROCESS OF DRYING.
Application led May 7,
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that JOHN J. BERRIGAN and 'JOHN B. BERRIGAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Driers and Processes of Drying, of which the following is a s ecification.
This invention relates to a drier and particularly to a drier adapted to dry solld material removed from sewage, such for example as activated sludge, although it may be applied to dry other material. Driers adapted to operate on this class of material have heretofore been large and cumbersome and have been on the order of ovens in which a sufficiently high degree of heat for drying required many hours of heating before drying could be commenced. It 1s, therefore,`
one object of our invention to `provide a drier-which can be put into operation practically instantaneously without the necessity of any preheating period before drying commences. Another object of our invention is to provide a drier by means of which material to be dried will be finely reduced so as to avoid the necessity of crushing or otherwise breaking up the dried partlcles. Another object of our invention is to provide a drier in which the material may be dried complete by passing once through the drier. A further object of our invention is to provide means for finely dividing the material and then drying it in this finely divided condition. Other objects will appear from time to time throughout the specification and claims. v
Our invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a vertical cross section of one form of our drier.
Like parts are designated by like characters throughout.
A is a hydraulic cylinder of any suitable form. Its details are not here illustrated as they form no part of the present invention. A1 A1 are intake and exit pipes leading to the interior of the cylinder and by means of which Huid or pressure may be introduced and withdrawn.
B is a receiving compartment into which material to be dried is introduced. B1 is a piston located within the cylinder B and carried on a shaft B2 which extends through in the 1924. Serial No. 711,547.
into the hydraulic cylinder A. As pressure 1s applied to the cylinder, the shaft B2 is forced down, the piston B1-moves with it, and the material within the cylinder'B is forced down and out through. the perforated plate B3 which forms the bottom of the cylinder. This plate is provided with a large number of small perforations B4 which are preferably of very small size. For some purposes it is desirable to have them no larger than one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, although this size may vary considerably with different classes of material to be acted upon. Bl5 is a chute by means of which material to be dried is introduced into the cylinder B. '4
C is a drying chamber provided preferably throughout all or a part of its exterior with passages C1 C1. These passages are provided at the top with the discharge connections C2 C2 and at the bottom w1th the intake connections C3 Cs through which a current of air may be forced by blowers C4. Leading into the passages C1 from the interior of the drying chamber are escape'passages C5 preferably formed as upturned pipes. As the material is dried within the drier a certain amount of steam and other vapor is forced off and this passes out through the discharge connections C. The drying chamber C terminates preferably 1n a funnel-shaped bottom C6 in which the dr'y material is collected and passes out through a discharge opening C7 to any suitable receiving means, such for example as a conveyor.
Within the drying chamber are mounted a plurality of movable inclined baille plates D. These plates are pivotally mounted' at D1 on the inner wall of the drying chamber, and beneath each of them is mountedy one or more cams D2. Thesecams as here shown are mounted on shafts D3 which may extend through the drier and are mounted for rotation. As the shafts are rotated, the cams act upon the baffle plates to move them up and down and the shape of the cam may be such to make this movement more or less violent.
E, E are supply pipes forconnection with the fuel burners E1 E1. E2 are valves for controlling the burners. One of such burners is located immediately below the perforated plate and is of such size and arrangement that as material falls through the perforated plate it passes through a zone of ame and substantially'vall of the material comes in direct contact with the iame and is immediately (dried on its exterior. The other burners are arranged so that each of them heats geu-4 erally onev of the bafle plates. `They mayor ma not play directly upon it. Preferably t e jects from each of such burners extend beyond the lower end of the plate immediately above it as shown. Thus the materialasit falls from plate to-plate preferably passes again throgh a zone of-fiame. While we prefer to have the material pass thus repeatedly through zones of flames,\it is of course not an essential feature, anda suiciently high degree of heat may be obtained in the drier so that the o` ration will be satisfactory even through t e material does not pass through the zone of fiame, but we have found that it is generall more satisfactory to have it pass throng such zones.
Although we have shown an operative device, still it w'ill be obvious that many changes might be made in size, shape and arran ment of parts withoutdeparting material y from the spirit of our invention,
and we wish, therefore, that our showingits subsequent drying may be carried out It might be run in any suitable manner. through any sort of drier, for example, "a rotary type of drier now in common use. If the material is used in a drier such as the one shown, the number and inclination of the baille plates might be'vari'ed, the
amount of movement given the baille plates might be varied, the distance from plate to plate, that is to say,`the size of the intervenin fiame swept Azone might also be varie The use and operation of our invention are as follows:
The material is introduced into the pressure cylinder and as so introduced is, in the case of activated sludge, a thick moist gluey mass which readily adheres to any surface with. which 'it comes in contact, even if a hot surface' and it -is-extremely diicult to handle in this condition.' When the pressure is applied, the material is forced in fine string-like streams through the perforated plate in the bottom of the cylinder and as 1t emerges from. this plate it is swept by the flames and is practically instantaneously dried on its outside. Thus when it comes v in contact with `the first of the bafiie plates it does not adhere to the surfacebut moves down along its surface being further and more thoroughly dried as it moves. It passes very small particles.
We prefer to use perforations about cne templation of our invention.'
movement and may preferably pass through' a zone of flames,-and moves down a second heated plate. This process is repeated until,v v the material has passed' to the bottom of theA drier, and by that time it is comparatively dried through and has been broken up into sixteenth inch in diameter and the particles when passed throu h such a plate and `through the drier wil be a little more vthan 'one-sixteenth inch in diameter and will vary in length usually from about one-quarter inch to vsomething less than oneinch.
We have described -the operation of our device in connection with its use on .acti vated sludge, but is is not at all limited to such use, and 'it-clearly ma be applied to `any use where. wet material is vto'be dried and any such use is within the con- We claim:
