State-of-the-art brown algae drying processes based on heat circulation technology were proposed, and their performance … recovery performed through exergy elevation and effective heat pairing for both sensible and latent heat. Two steam drying … processes based on heat circulation technology for algae drying were proposed, involving heat circulation with or without steam …

The article is devoted to the pasta drying. Novelty of the article is that for the increase of the drying rate and … quality of the soft wheat production they use the superheat steam medium. It increases the drying speed and the quality of the … output, reduces the drying time and energy consumption. The authors show the research results, the empirical dependence for …

The traditional method of solar drying in the Asia-Pacific region is by open-air drying where the product to be dried … is exposed directly to the sun. The disadvantages of this traditional form of drying are many. Dirt, dust, and wind …-blown debris, insect infestation, human and animal interference, will result in contamination of the product. Speed of drying and …

In the last rice harvest season, experimental results have been obtained on the efficiency and drying quality of a … solar assisted heat pump drying prototype system. The system has been operated as a solar and heat pump system and drying … shows that the heat pump assisted solar drying system is an excellent alternative to traditional drying systems. …
