Abstract
A dryer system has a combustion chamber, a dryer and a separator. The combustion chamber supplies heated gas to the dryer. Wet material is mixed with the heated gas in the dryer. The dried material is then separated from the gas in the separator. A method is used to increase the safety of the system. The method includes sensing the temperature of the dryer system. Further, if the temperature reaches a predetermined value, the combustion chamber is extinguished. Additionally, upon the temperature reaching the predetermined value, steam is introduced into the dryer system.
