2020 ROAD DRYER RD1200XT-K

The RD1200XT and RD1200XT-K dry wet pavement by blowing large volumes of hot, preconditioned air, at high velocity onto the surface of the road. A diesel engine is used to direct drive a high pressure fan. The fan discharge is routed through a direct fired air heater where the air is heated to a controlled temperature and then mixed with the heater exhaust to a uniform temperature and pressure. The heater reduces the humidity of the air to make it better suited as a drying medium. The hot air mixture is then delivered to the pavement through a series of dual jet nozzle distribution boxes. The nozzle box distributes the hot air across the road surface twice and holds the air between the jet’s outlets for prolonged contact with the pavement. This evaporates the moisture and raises the surface temperature of the road approximately 35° - 50˚F. Accumulated moisture (puddles of water) is dispersed by the high air velocity, and then evaporated. #2 Diesel is used as the fuel for the engine, and as the fuel source for the air heater.
