A study of the operation of a draught tube spouted bed in conjunction with dielectric heat addition was carried out. The addition of radio frequency allowed a greater amount of energy to be input into the particulate material in any given time, increasing the drying rate: however, the drying pattern was unaffected by the ratio of radio frequency to convective heat addition. The rate of moisture loss was proportional only to the total energy input. The synergy which often occurs with low levels of radio frequency addition does not occur with rf enhanced spouted beds. The properties of spouted beds seem to be improved only for moisture contents at which packed bed drying can perform effectively. Although the properties of spouted beds can be improved by radio frequency heat addition, their qualities although useful for specific operations, are unsuitable for more general use. |
