Definitions
- the technical field in which this invention relates is drying, dehydration or the removing of the moisture or water content in the products subject for drying. And can also be classified technically in air conditioning wherein the air temperature is manipulated or controlled from the very low to very high temperatures.
- Drying products is one of the problems of human activity. Thousands of tons of agricultural products - like rice, corn, peanuts, etc. - are spoiled every year due to drying problems especially during the rainy season or where and when the solar energy is not available due to climatic or weather conditions that does not permit solar drying. Even in times where sun's heat is abundant, problems of wastage - especially rice - are common experience drying in the solar dryers due to the nature of the dryers.
- More or less specific dryers Some of the present drying equipments nowadays and sold in the market are more or less specific, i.e. rice dyer, kiln dryer, copra dryer, etc.
- the rice dryer cannot be used for drying of marine products like fish and the copra dryer cannot be used in rice and fish drying.
- the dryer cannot allow the multiple drying of products simultaneously.
- the dryers use the environmental moist air.
- the moist air or the air with high humidity has a low carrying capacity of the moisture from the product subject for drying considering that the environmental moist air is carrying already the moisture in it from the environment. As a result, the drying takes longer period because the air in drying has only so much moisture to take in from the product subject for drying and bring it to the atmosphere.
- Natural air movement on the product The dryers observe a natural air movement on the product subject for drying.
- the movement of air on the product depends only on the environmental and natural pressures and forces, however, there are dryers that the air movement that are augmented by blowers.
- Source of heat or fuel more or less specific -
- the dryers use more or less specific source of heat or fuel.
- the solar dyers cannot other forms heat from other sources like gases, wood or electricity.
- Natural pressure The pressure involved in the drying of products depends only on the atmospheric pressure. The air movement on the product subject for drying is slow; and as a result, the loss or release of the moisture by the product subject for drying is also slow, and correspondingly the drying process is slow.
- Seasonal dryers - Solar dryers are by nature seasonal. They cannot be used during rainy days. There are also mechanical dryers that are seasonal especially those that depend on seasonal fuel like the availability of dried wood only during sunny days or the availability of the rice hull only during harvest time.
- Heaters or furnace are within the dryers or inside the building, smoke cannot be avoided -
- the heaters of most of the mechanical dryers or flatbeds for rice and copra are directly below or alongside the dryer, or within the buildings where the dryers are, and the smoke cannot be avoided and also the black substances of carbon compounds that discolor the walling of the buildings.
- the invention is adaptable to the conditions of the poor and poverty-stricken depressed areas in the rural setting of the countryside and to the excessively intensive and highly urbanized cities with lavishly sophisticated and luxurious lifestyles.
- the invention Compressed Air Dyer System - revolutionizes the processes, procedures or methods of drying. It is a system for drying and a novel way using compressor to produce high to very high air pressure and fast air movement in the product subject for drying in the drying chamber (10). It also uses the condenser (1) to lessen if not remove all the moisture content present in the atmospheric or environmental air to have the full carrying capacity of moisture or vapor produced in the drying process. .
- the design of the system is flexible and the capacity ranges from 1 kilogram to 20 tons or more. It has a wide range of temperature and pressure fluctuations during the drying operations depending upon the volume, the kind product and the moisture content of the product subject for drying or whether the drying process uses the condenser or not.
- the drying process of this invention is easier and the drying time is lower by 15 to
- the invention is a system-
- the invention is a system itself which uses the condenser, warmer, air compressor, series of air tanks, burner/furnace/heater and drying chamber interconnected with each other by metal tubes or pipes, and pressure and temperature gauges, control and check valves, and other parts or components.
- the invention is all seasons and all purpose dryer. It can be used any day of the year and anytime of the day and will dry whatever product that needs drying using pressurized cold to warm to hot or very hot dry or moist compressed air.
- dry air or air with low moisture content for drying -
- the whole drying system of the invention uses dry air or air with low air moisture content, however, there are embodiments that uses the environmental moist air.
- the dry air or air with low moisture content has better carrying capacity if not with full carrying capacity of water vapor or moisture produced in the heating process.
- the dry air carries more moisture or water vapor than the moist atmospheric or environmental air, thereby helps in the reduction of the length of the drying period.
- the term dry air is the air with its low or negligible (or may be absence of the) air moisture after it passed through the condenser of the system.
- the atmospheric or environmental air passed through the condenser it is presumed to be dry air
- the invention uses all forms of fuel, as it may or can use electricity, petroleum products (liquefied petroleum gas or ordinary liquid petroleum gas or similar fossil fuels), alcohol, or any farm or waste product that may burn or produce fire like wood, charcoal, rice hull, as fuel.
- petroleum products liquefied petroleum gas or ordinary liquid petroleum gas or similar fossil fuels
- alcohol or any farm or waste product that may burn or produce fire like wood, charcoal, rice hull, as fuel.
- Fast air movement There is a fast to very fast air movement on the product subject for drying (inside the pressurized drying chamber) induced by the pressure from the compressed air generated by the air compressor and from the heat coming from the burner/furnace/heater (7).
- the gas expands and produce higher pressure when heated as revealed by the Gas Laws.
- the fast air movement helps a lot in the drying process because more volume of air is discharge at a given time and as a result it carries more moisture at a given period than the natural air movement, thereby also helping in the reduction of the drying period.
- Temperature within the system fluctuates and adjustable -
- the temperature within the system fluctuates and adjustable to a wide range of degrees centigrade.
- the temperature inside the condenser is approximately from -2 degrees centigrade and may reach up to as high of 300 degrees centigrade (300 0 C) in the heater tank, heated by the burner/furnace or heater (7), or even higher temperatures.
- the temperature is adjusted in the process according to the desired or needed temperature suited for the job or activity.
- the needed maximum temperature should not go beyond 41 degrees centigrade (4O 0 C) to attain excellent milled rice, for air drying of products may not exceed 36 degrees centigrade
- High pressure within the system has a high pressure that may range from 50 psi to 100 psi, especially in storage tanks. This high pressure within the system produces fast air movement. It also helps distribute the heat inside the drying chamber evenly for uniform drying. Because of this high pressure, no need to turn upside down the product inside the drying chamber subject for drying, especially rice, corn and peanuts.
- the system has a flexible design and can suit to the needs of the customer depending upon his location, size of the area, or budget.
- the shape of the drying chamber can be cubical, rectangle, circular, etc. And the position of the drying chamber can be horizontal, or directly on the ground or even vertical, standing or slanting.
- the other components of the system can be placed in a line-up position, group them, circular or depending upon the wishes of the owner based on the location and area.
- Heater can be outside the dryer system or the building at the decision of the owner - Because of its flexibility in design, the furnace or the burner together with the Heater Tank can be placed outside the building and construct a especial place for them like the furnace or the chimney. In this manner one can avoid the smoke inside the building and the dark coloration of the black or gray substances from the carbon compounds generated by the burning of the fuels.

- the air pressure in the hot and cold air combination tank (9) is lowered by allowing a certain volume of pressurized hot dry air to escape through the air exhaust (41), and then an additional volume of whether hot or cold dry pressurized air, as desired, is introduced or infused to the hot and cold air combination tank (9) to attain the right, needed or desired temperature.
- the flow of both the pressurized hot to very hot dry air from the hot air storage tank (8), and the pressurized cold dry air from the cold air storage tank (5) to the hot and cold air combination tank (9) is maintained to maintain the needed or desired air temperature of the combined, mixed or blended pressurized hot and cold dry air in the hot and cold air combination tank (9).
