kiertoilmakuivaus

Kiertoilmakuivaus is a drying method commonly used in various industrial processes and household appliances. It involves circulating heated air to remove moisture from a substance. This is achieved by drawing in ambient air, heating it to a specific temperature, and then directing it over the material that needs drying. As the hot air passes through, it absorbs moisture from the material. The now humidified air is then typically passed through a cooling or condensing system, where the moisture is removed. The dried air is then reheated and recirculated back into the drying chamber, creating a continuous loop.

This closed-loop system offers several advantages. By recirculating the air, it minimizes energy loss compared to methods that vent humid air directly to the atmosphere. This also helps to maintain a controlled environment within the drying chamber, allowing for precise temperature and humidity management, which is crucial for drying sensitive materials without damaging them. Kiertoilmakuivaus is employed in applications such as grain drying, lumber drying, food dehydration, and in the operation of clothes dryers and some types of dehumidifiers. The efficiency and effectiveness of the process depend on factors like the airflow rate, temperature, humidity of the incoming air, and the properties of the material being dried.
