How much increased water content in dryer section exhaust air will improve the heat recovery efficiency?

Exhaust air flow from the dryer section is normally adjusted by maintaining constant water content in air flow. In some situations, exhaust air flow needs to be decreased thus causing decrease for the heat recovery process. Decreased humidity level decreases energy efficiency by means of lower heat recovery rate and higher specific heat consumption of the drying process.

How much energy can be recovered from the dryer section exhaust air flow?

Essential part of energy efficient dryer section operation is a properly dimensioned heat recovery system. In green field projects the design of the heat recovery system is almost the standard, but in rebuild cases there is need for tailor-made design is needed to maximize the benefit of the heat recovery system.
