| Abstract |
In order to reach the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, increasing the efficiency of industrial processes is one of the core components. As value adding processes in manufacturing determine the quality of the product significantly and are more difficult to adapt, non-value adding processes are primarily in the focus of efficiency measures. Especially when considering the energy balance of a component over its entire lifecycle, processes such as drying play a decisive role. This paper discusses an approach to increase energy efficiency during the drying process of metal parts in electroplating processes by improving the air guidance inside industrial drying chambers. In addition to a numerically investigation using a computational fluid dynamics approach, in-situ measurements of the energy consumption of a dryer were carried out. In order to measure the positive effects of the improved flow, a prototype of such a dryer will be developed and energetically measured next step. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. |
