Efforts for the Electrification of the Drying Process using Drying Oven Thermography

Abstract

The rapid expansion of renewable energy requires an efficient expansion of electricity demand. Therefore, the electrification of the drying process which has the remaining electrification capacity in many industries is proposed. In this research, a drying oven thermography was developed to eliminate the concern about the disruption of technology transfer and deterioration of coating quality, which are the barriers to electrification of drying ovens. The thermography made it possible to pass on the technology and design efficient electrification specifications by creating a drying furnace digital chart.
