Description
Summary:This paper compares an experimental heat pump batch dryer with the implementation of volumetric Radio Frequency (RF) heating, in the combination drying of crushed brick particulate. Results are presented showing overall improvements in drying A simplified mathematical drying model including the RF energy source has been developed using mass and energy conservation, confirming the experimental results.
