The Magic is in the numbers.
The fabric drying company has probably found the best combination of temperature and dwell time for a maximum production rate. However, they have never had control of the blowers.
I suspect that the blowers not only convey the the hot air but also dry the fabric directly by blowing across the product or moist air displacment. Slowing the blowers at low fire with an on/off controller gives the process a double wammy.
Om the line with the new VFD's, perhaps runnimg the blowers near the the infeed end at 110% and direcly (or inverse) control the dischage or middle blowers could tweak production a few percent.
I understand this was a question about saving electricity. But a production increase does so indirectly. You could be a hero.
