International Journal of Energy Research 23 (14) : 1277-1291. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | We describe an approach using the contact factor (CF) as the dryer performance and design parameter. The CF is calculated using known drying variables with a view to minimizing the drying costs. An algorithm to obtain the 'economic' CF for drying is presented. Besides being a design parameter of single-stage dryers, the CF is a useful parameter in determining the schedule of cascade dryers in multi-stage drying. We demonstrate the dryer component selection process using a set of design charts for heat pump dryers.
