This professional book deals with the theory and practice of belt dryers as well as their application in numerous fields such as agriculture, food industry, chemical industry, pharmacy, basic industry, waste management and waste water treatment. It provides information on the process engineering and design as well as the operation of the plants. Material values of industrial dry goods and drying gases are available for calculations. The reader is thus able to carry out an initial rough calculation of his drying problem with the help of the book. In many cases, numerical value equations are also given for computer programming. The computer-aided optimization is treated in the same way as the simulation of the flow in belt dryers.  The possibilities of energy saving and waste heat utilisation are also highlighted and important aspects such as occupational safety and environmental protection are addressed. weiterlesen
