ASSESSMENT OF GRAVITY COMPONENT OF MOISTURE FLOW IN RAW PEAT IN CONDITIONS OF CONVECTIVE AND RADIATIVE-CONVECTIVE HEAT INPUT

Abstract

It was found that one of the main obstacles to active use of local peat fuel is the low reliability of existing technological schemes of peat extraction in the operating conditions of relatively small peat factories. It was shown that in some cases, such technologies may be reduced to small-scale year-round production of peat by excavation method or milled peat of high moisture, which greatly increases the peat fuel production reliability, its supply to the end users. It was found that the target range for the humidity of the peat raw material entering the workshop/facility for production of peat fuel by extrusion is that of 60% to 70%. The results of theoretical and experimental research to study the technological parameters of the peat raw material production within the developed technological scheme of operating peat factory unit are considered.
