Quick Tips

How fast can I expect my equipment to dry?

It depends! There are a lot of variables at play that determine drying time – and many of them are dependent more on the design of process equipment being dried than the output of the dryer system.

To help optimize your drying, look at the following design considerations for your equipment – having sloped surfaces, minimizing areas of water holdup, minimizing the L/d of branch connections, insulation of lines or equipment, and performing a final rinse with hot water (if available).

Quick Tips

How and where should I vent the exhaust air from the system?

You should think about where the hot exhaust air (after it has dried your process) will vent to – in a CIP line circuit, the exhaust air might come back to the CIP Skid, in which the exhaust air would come out the CIP Return drain line. If you prefer to vent it at a different location, zone valves can be added to the CIP system on the CIP Return line and the drying steps could send the exhaust air to a vent location of your choice.

If drying equipment like small process tanks or other equipment where there is not a closed circuit back to the CIP system, ensure an adequately sized exhaust port exists on your equipment and that it vents to an acceptable location to receive hot, humid air.
