Preferred Label : Flash Drying Method;
NCIt related terms : Drying, Flash; Direct Heating, Dilute Solids Bed, Flash Drying;
NCIt definition : A process that removes water or volatile solvents from a bed of solids by relying
on absorption of heat radiation by those solvents.;
Alternative definition : FDA: Continuous drying similar to spray drying in that solids are dispersed on entry
and carried by a large volumetric flow (cfm) of air; in contrast to spray drying,
flash dryers will not accept a slurry feed and are designed to automatically recycle
partially dried solids, allowing for a smaller footprint; flash dryers may also be
equipped with an in-line mill to de-agglomerate solids.; PQCMC: Heat transfer is accomplished by direct contact between wet solids and hot
gases. The solid mass is suspended in a finely divided state in a high-velocity and
high-temperature gas stream. The vaporized liquid is carried away by the drying gases.;
