Wet coal is dried in a continuous rotary dryer that operates at atmospheric pressure. The chips with a water content of 40 wt% and must leave with a moisture content of less than 15%. Hot air is fed to the dryer at a rate of 11.6 m³ (STP)/kg wet coal. MOIST AIR WET COAL DRYER HOT AIR DRIED COAL To monitor the performance of the dryer by sampling the exiting coal and determining their moisture content directly would be a cumbersome procedure and almost impossible to automate. Instead, wet- and dry-bulb thermometers are mounted in both the inlet and outlet air lines, and the moisture content of the exiting chips is determined by a material balance calculator. (STP: Standard Temperature and Pressure is 0*C and 101.325 kPa)
