Kurita Water Industries noted that water from the steam, adhering to the inside of the dryer, caused a drop in heat conduction efficiency. At many paper mills, the Kurita team has proposed adding a water treatment chemical that forms a water-repellent film to the steam. The resulting film adheres to the inside of the dryer and improves the heat conduction efficiency.
