Abstract
Following a concise description of pulse combustion, the basic types of pulse-combustion dryers are presented, including spray dryers, rotary dryers, pneumatic dryers, and dryers of special design. The existing commercial applications and demonstration projects are listed, and potential applications are identified. Challenges in developing pulse-combustion dryers are pointed out. Key publications, patents, technology developers, suppliers, and selected users of pulse-combustion dryers are itemized.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Information obtained from companies listed in this report is greatly appreciated.
Notes
∗70 dB is reported for some novel pulse combustors.
∗∗Based on literature dataCitation [1] and typical pulse-combustion spray dryer with 1000 kg/h of evaporative capacity operated 24/300.Citation [2]
∗∗∗Estimated for 15 × smaller dryer volumeCitation [3] as results from higher evaporation intensity in PC spray dryer.Citation [4]
