Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9527878A1] The dry charge machine (10) and method disclosed carefully monitor the temperature above and below the plates as well as the water temperature exiting the machine and introduce cooling water (26, 30) at a flow rate and temperature so as to maximize thermal efficiency in drying and minimize the energy necessary to raise the temperature of the drying gas. The machinery is arranged and controlled so that water droplets are not introduced into the air. Oxygen leakage into the machine is minimized and the oxygen content of the air is monitored.
