Development of Chinese drying technology will be imperative to explore

　　Drying operations involved in extensive areas of the national economy, it is not only a large number of industrial and agricultural products essential basic production processes, drying is energy-hungry China, the use of energy accounted for about 12% of the total energy consumption of the national economy. In addition, the pollution caused by the drying process and often an important source of environmental pollution in China, the progress of drying technology with the development of the national economy has a very close relationship.

　　Faced with serious energy and environmental challenges, China recently in a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable scientific development concept as the guiding ideology, formulated in 2020 and long-term strategic energy technology development and development planning, the development of this energy and environment development strategy , drying technology for the development of China pointed out the direction, to explore a new development path drying technology is imperative.

　　Compared with the industrial and agricultural production in other operating areas, energy conservation and pollution prevention task of the drying process is particularly urgent. First, the areas involved in the drying operation is extremely broad, and China accounted for the entire industrial drying energy consumption ratio is higher than the UK almost half, to 12%. Secondly, dry environmental pollution is very serious. In the most widely used types of conventional drying equipment, there are more than three-quarters of hot air drying, drying equipment such environmental pollution is very serious, for the transformation of coal-fired oven drying system has become an important problem to be solved.

　　Improve the energy efficiency of the drying process and the prevention of pollution of the environment are complementary. Reduce 100 million tons of standard coal energy consumption in China to reduce more than 64 million tons of CO2 and SO2 emissions, the environmental benefits are significant. Therefore, exploring the new path of development of drying technology, it must be energy efficiency, environmental protection and product quality into account, in order to achieve comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development.

　　To implement the drying efficiency and green development strategy, development path first go-saving resources, turning a single extensive drying combination, intelligent drying. Not only from the drying process of fundamental transformation, but also to conduct a comprehensive, multi-level energy-saving technological transformation, develop application of renewable energy and industrial waste heat drying technology. From the government level, to establish and perfect drying equipment comprehensive evaluation criteria and industry standards, the establishment of macro-control and market regulation mechanisms to accelerate the upgrading of drying technology.
