TY - GEN A1 - Merzsch, Matthias T1 - Druckaufgeladene Dampfwirbelschicht-Trocknung von Braunkohle – Eine kleine Reise durch die Geschichte der Trocknung speziell die der Braunkohlen T2 - VGB PowerTech N2 - At first I was wondering what the structure of an article about pressurized steam fluidized bed drying could look like. After some thought, I knew that it should be divided into two parts. In order to highlight the creative and inventive spirit of former engineers, as well as their struggle to increase the efficiency of drying machines, a historical outline of the drying technology in general and the concept of steam fluidized bed drying in particular will form the first part of the article. The second part will present the practical and research contribution of Prof. Krautz and his colleagues to the advancement of this field. The article as a whole will be able to provide an overview of the coal/lignite drying, with focus on the pressurized steam fluidized bed drying principle implemented in the Lusatian mining area.
