Research and modeling of the ecological efficiency of drying refractory and building materials in vertical shaft furnaces

Based on the hypothesis of the dominant effect on the environmental efficiency of drying materials in shaft furnaces of the concentration, median diameter, dispersion, temperature and humidity of dust particles at the outlet of the dryer, a device for thermal aeration separation of dust is proposed. The analysis of mathematical modeling of aerothermodynamic processes in a two-phase medium asbestos dust ‒ gas flow confirmed the conclusions of industrial studies on the influence of aerothermodynamic parameters of direct flow on the temperature and humidity of asbestos dust in the pneumatic dryer. Based on the principle of additive classification, a mathematical model of aeration separation of dust particles directly in the dryer of the shaft furnace is constructed, depending on the parameters of the heat carrier and the proposed device.
