Evaluation of energy efficiency in biofuel drying by means of energy and exergy analyses

Simulation study of improved biomass drying efficiency for biomass gasification plants by integration of the water gas shift section in the drying process

“…This leads to losses and making the purification of the drying air more costly. Drying temperatures are often in the 100e130 C range [21].…”

Report on comparison among current industrial scale lignite drying technologies (A critical review of current technologies)

“…The heat demand for a low temperature air dryer is estimated to be around to 2700 kJ/kg H 2 O (including heat recovery) [11].…”

Effect of two-stage dehydration on retention of characteristic flavor components of flue-cured tobacco in rotary dryer

“…[29,30] Low-and medium-temperature drying are often proposed for heat-sensitive materials such as tobacco leaves. However, low-temperature drying often suffers from very low energy efficiency.…”
