The VENTILEX Ventura 130 (tm) incorporates all aspects of the VENTILEX other energy saving solutions into one composite unit ... and takes it even a step further.
In this remarkable drying and cooling advancement, almost all Latent Heat is captured and re-used. In most applications of 4% moisture and above, the VENTILEX Ventura 130 will use approximately 1,200 btu's per pound of water evaporated, or less! The higher the input moisture, the lower amount of btu's are used per pound of water evaporated. This low energy use is at least 60% less than a typical "good" rotary dryer system, and at least 35% less than all other known fluid bed dryer systems.
In a typical sand drying application of 6% moisture, drying to 0.5% end moisture, you can expect to use less than 1,075 btu's/pound of water evaporated, or to look at it another way, about 1 therm or 0.1 MM btu's per ton of dried sand.
To compare, most Rotary Dryers use between 2,700 and 3,400 btu's per pound of water evaporated! Almost all other Fluid Bed Dryers use 1800 to 2400 btu's per pound of water evaporated. Try out our Energy Calculator by selecting the link to the left to see for yourself!
To understand the concept of the Ventura 130 (tm) , see the illustration below. Note: Without the sophisticated, highly advanced controls and algorithm from VENTILEX, this method of drying and cooling would be out of control and you would not realize these tremendous energy savings!
With the VENTILEX Ventura 130 (tm), almost all latent heat is recovered and reused. Take a look at the two exhaust air streams. The one off the cooling section is at 110 F, and the one off the heat exchangers/heat recovery units is 95 F degrees. The lower the exhaust air, the better use of the energy, and this means you save tons of money that would otherwise be "blown up the stack" like in rotary drum dryers and brand "C" vibrating fluid beds.
With this concept, the lowest possible amount of energy is used for drying. VENTILEX uses the least amount of energy, lower than any known rotary, vibrating fluid bed, static fluid bed, or any other known drying system for aggregates.
VENTILEX guarantees our energy savings. Just ask for a quotation to see how much energy can be saved using a VENTILEX Ventura 130 (tm)!
