Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1249181A2] The assembly to prepare a process gas for drying tobacco, and especially in a flow or entrained dryer, has a unit to feed and evaporate water to be added to the process gas. The water feed/evaporation unit (1) is located in front of the dryer, and before the tobacco is in contact with the process gas. The water is delivered into the process gas by a number of spray jets (6) at the boiler, to be wholly evaporated with the gas in an evaporation chamber (8).
