Superheated Steam / Vacuum Dry<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Superheated steam flow <strong>in</strong> convectively heated <strong>vacuum</strong> kilns<br />
Crosswise steam flow<br />
• heat pipes <strong>and</strong> fan at the side <strong>of</strong><br />
the stack side; vertical flow back<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the stack at opposite kiln wall.<br />
One or two fan / heat pipe l<strong>in</strong>es<br />
(e.g., Brunner, Mühlböck, IWT, Kronseder)<br />
• Heat pipes <strong>and</strong> fans on top <strong>of</strong> the<br />
stack (IWT, Mühlböck - former kiln<br />
types)<br />
• Heat pipes <strong>and</strong> fans <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong> the<br />
stack (at both sides), horizontal<br />
steam flow reversal (longitud<strong>in</strong>al -<br />
lateral with WDE / Maspell <strong>and</strong> Eberl)<br />
Lengthwise steam flow<br />
• Heat pipes <strong>and</strong> fans <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong><br />
stack, horizontal steam flow reversal<br />
(small kilns, special corrugated<br />
stickers required, e.g. Mühlböck)
