Counter Flow and Parallel Flow Dryer Selection
How do Tarmac's engineers determine when to use Parallel Flow (Co-Currnet) or Counter Flow (Counter-Current) thermal rotary dryer design? The answer comes in typical rules for the dryer type choice. These rules can be modified due to specific drying needs. Simply stated, thermal rotary dryers are rotating cylinders that continuously bring wet solids into the […]

CONCURRENT VS. COUNTERCURRENT DRYERS. There are two basic types of Direct Fired Dryers: Concurrent (or parallel flow) Countercurrent (or counter flow) In both types of dryers, the material to be dried comes into direct contact with the hot process gases. These gases are generally provided as products of combustion from an oil, gas or solid fuel ...

Parallel vs. Counterflow Heat Exchangers for non-Engineers
Counterflow. Counterflow just takes one stream and reverses it. This means that as the hot fluid enters from the right, it cools against the already warmed up cold fluid from the left. The temperature differential is nowhere near as high as at the start of the parallel heat exchanger.

What is the Difference Between Counterflow and Parallel Flow …
The main difference between counterflow and parallel flow heat exchangers lies in the direction of fluid flow within the exchanger. In a counterflow heat exchanger, the flow of one fluid is opposite to the flow of the other fluid, while in a parallel flow heat exchanger, both fluids flow in the same direction. In a counterflow heat exchanger:

Rotary drum dryer drying system, working principle and details
Parallel flow: The wettest material comes in contact with the hottest gas as they enter the dryer. This results in a rapid evaporation and rapid cooling of the hot process gas. This typically allows the dryer shell to operate slightly cooler than the counter-flow configuration, which extends the life cycle and decreases maintenance of the dryer.
