3, freeze drying of the present invention is effective, reasonable energy utilization, and energy consumption is low: facility compact, automaticity height, easy operating.
To analyze the mechanism of Chinese medicine, food product refrigeration lyophilization below.
One, to the measure of Chinese medicine, food low temperature drying
Fig. 2 is an airborne saturated water capacity analysis chart under different pressures and the condition of different temperatures.
When temperature t was a certain numerical value, pressure p was high more, and d is more little for per kilogram air water component.
When pressure p was a certain numerical value, temperature t was high more, and d is high more for per kilogram air water component.
When temperature t is low more, when pressure p was low more, because of t is low more, d was more little, and p is low more, and d is but high more, so will consider the combined influence of pressure p and temperature t.We wish that the d value is high, then will make the t value high, and the p value is low.Promptly to make airborne saturated water capacity d height, allow amount of moisture at the airborne content height of per kilogram, then will adopt the way of high-temperature vacuum to make per kilogram saturation of the air amount of moisture height, it is big to allow to be evaporated to airborne moisture from the object that is dried like this, makes the easier drying of object.
But for medicinal material,, can not adopt high temperature process for fresh-keeping, must low temperature.Original dry best approach was: 2. 1. high temperature vacuumize (low pressure).But, can only take now: 1. low temperature (fresh-keeping), 2. low pressure for the Chinese medicine drying.
Therefore, the measure that can take at the Chinese medicine particular point is: the air of making the own aridity of one low temperature, low pressure and air very high (reaching-40 ℃ as dew-point temperature).This environment satisfies: 1. low temperature (Chinese medicine is fresh-keeping), 2. low pressure (drying), 3. dry (relative humidity of air own is low).
For obtaining above-mentioned condition, the means of intending taking are: 1. low temperature → air turbine swell refrigeration; 2. low pressure → compressor is bled, and is 3. dry → as to reach-40 ℃ of dew-point temperatures with the adsorption dessicant dry air: 4. highly effective drying refrigerating chamber design.
See also the three-phase diagram of Fig. 4 water again.
Pressure and temperature when OA-water and water vapour balance each other;
Pressure and temperature when OB-ice balances each other with water vapour;
Pressure and temperature when OC-water balances each other with ice;
Pressure and temperature when O point-ice, water and water vapour three-phase equilibrium.
Pure triple point of water is 0.0098 ℃, and pressure is 4.579mmHg.
The fresh-keeping low temperature drying of the super low temperature quick frozen of Chinese medicine is exactly behind quick-freezing fresh-keeping, and (about in the of 5 ℃) drying at low temperatures promptly allows moisture in the Chinese medicine at quick-frozen Cheng Binghou, directly by the solid-state steam that is sublimed into, makes its drying.The water that does not have like this to take place by cell membrane between the cell of Chinese medicine inside moves, but is the steam drying by the ice distillation directly, and reaching is the fresh-keeping purpose that dewaters again.
Two, to the rough estimate of equipment dehumidifying effect
Reach dew-point temperature for-40 ℃ the time when we choose drier, its ability that allows to absorb est steam is:
In the time of t=-5 ℃, the water capacity of per kilogram saturated moist air is: d
-5=2.598g/kg;
In the time of t=-40 ℃, the water capacity of per kilogram saturated moist air is: (40 ℃ of dew point humidity) d
-40=0.1102g/kg dry air.
Then dew-point temperature be-40 ℃ dry air in the time of-5 ℃, the per kilogram dry air can absorb the moisture content of 2.4878 grams.
As adopt refrigerating plant flow of the present invention to be: 6m
3/ min (status of criterion) is 7.32kg/min, and the dew-point temperature when reaching-40 ℃ by its aridity then can allow to absorb moisture and is: 18.2107g/min, 1 hour 1092.64g/hour that can dewater.Just dew point humidity is-40 ℃ cold dry air, if under-5 ℃ of conditions dry medicinal material, then be about 1 kilogram at the maximum outlet capacity that removes within an hour.The time of this water evaporates that does not comprise Chinese medicine in the dry air, this is the wettability power of low temperature drying air under the free convection situation.
Be pointed out that the present invention when low temperature drying air introducing freeze drying box is carried out drying to article, adopts the heat and mass mode of forced convection, with respect to free convection, this will improve the rate of drying to article significantly.
Three, Chinese medicine is adopted the factor that super low temperature quick frozen is fresh-keeping, low temperature drying method is related:
The quantity of the dew-point temperature of quick freezing temperature, quick-frozen time, low temperature drying temperature, low temperature drying time, dry air, the pressure of dry air, dry air flow, the classification of the Chinese medicine that is dried, the Chinese medicine that is dried, the specific area of the Chinese medicine that is dried.
