The DM can be used to determine when successful drying is underway and processing of
material can begin, using the following guidelines:
●
See Operation:Setting Up Your DM: The Basics-Alarm Location
for establishing the
“alarm location” sensor for your drying system (this is typically T3 or T4).
●
The alarm location sensor can be used to determine when the hopper’s material has
been sufficiently exposed to proper drying temperature for the proper length of time
(residence time) and processing of the material in the hopper can begin.
●
Processing can begin when the alarm location sensor (typically T3 or T4) has stabilized
at the drying temperature setpoint for approximately 50% of the required residence
time.
Example: If the material drying temperature is 250°F and the required residence time
is 4 hours, once the alarm location sensor has displayed 250°F for 2 hours (50% of 4
hours), processing can begin.
In normal operation, T1 will read closest to the process air temperature.
NOTE:
If the alarm loca-
tion sensor never reaches
the drying temperature
setpoint, there is a prob-
lem with the drying system
and it should be examined
for proper operation. Refer
to the user guide for your
dryer.
