Typical Applications
Carousel Plus “W” Dryer
The HTC process air heater is designed for use with a dehumidifying device
that supplies dry air, such as a central dehumidifying dryer in which the process
heaters (if present) have been disabled, or with a stand alone blower for hot air
drying.
The HTC can be used successfully in applications that require:
• Drying temperatures up to 350°F (176.7°C) (250°F [121.1°C] on HAD
models).
• The ability to dry multiple materials requiring different drying temperature
setpoints in a central drying system. (Requires separate HTCs / hoppers.)
• The ability to easily take a hopper “off-line” for cleaning without shutting
down the entire central drying system.
Hot Air Dryer (HAD)
The HTC process air heater, for use with a hot air dryer such as a Conair model
HAD, connects plant air motivated by a Conair blower assembly to a material dry-
ing hopper.
The HTC for HAD can be used successfully in applications that require:
• Drying temperatures up to 250°F (121.1°C).
• Non-hygroscopic materials that are in pellet or flake form (not powder).
• Open loop drying (not recirculated).
The HTC does not have an integral blower to circulate the hot air, so it can not be
used as a stand-alone material preheater. It must be combined with a Conair
Carousel Plus Series “W” dryer or HAD.
