Drying is widely used in a variety of applications ranging from food drying to wood drying. The drying industry uses large amounts of energy as drying is a highly energy-intensive operation. A dryer supplies the product with more heat than is available under ambient conditions thus sufficiently increasing the vapor pressure of the moisture held within the product to enhance moisture migration from within the product and significantly decreasing the relative humidity of the drying air to increase its moisture carrying capability and to ensure a sufficiently low equilibrium moisture content.
