STUDY OF EFFICIENCY OF DRUM DRYERS OF METALLURGICAL PRODUCTIONS USING PERFORATED PIPES WITH LOCALIZATION OF HEAT FLOWS
The article presents the design of a drum furnace, providing for the provision of differentiated heat flows through the use of an internal perforated pipe. The design of the presented horizontal drum dryer with a perforated tube having openings is designed to eliminate such technological risk factors as the ignition of the oil component of the processed material, and the metal dispersed material itself having pyrophoric properties. As a result of the numerical simulation using the LS–DYNA program, the temperature and heat fluxes in the quasi-boiling zone of the drained oil-containing dispersed material were determined. The calculations made it possible to establish the dependence of the temperature in the quasi-boiling zone on the number of holes of the perforated pipe. Analysis of the obtained graphs allows us to conclude that the gradient of temperature (heat) flows in fixed sections of the furnace of the quasi-boiling zone.
