DT vapor wash

摘要

An agricultural product treatment system. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a truncated conical section which has a small diameter at one end in fluid communication with a conduit array conveying particulate matter from the DT. An open large diameter end of the structure is axially coextensive and coaxial with an expanded diameter conduit portion.

主权项

1. An agricultural product treatment system having a desolventizer/toaster (DT) and an evaporator apparatus connected down flow of the DT by a conduit array, further comprising:
a mist injection station in a segment of the conduit array extending downwardly at an acute angle from an egress port rising from an upper end of the DT; a generally vertically extending segment of the conduit array in fluid communication with an egress end of the segment of the conduit array extending downwardly at an acute angle; a truncated conical section having a small diameter end in fluid communication with an egress end of said generally vertically extending segment, and an open, large diameter end axially coextensive and coaxial with an expanded diameter conduit portion, thereby defining an annular plenum within said expanded diameter conduit portion; and a bridge section of the conduit facilitating passage of fluid flow and particulate matter entrained therein from said annular plenum to the evaporator.
