A GAS-DRIVEN HEAT PUMP APPLIED TO GRAIN DRYING AND CHILLING.

Author(s) : ELEFSEN F.

Summary

THE AUTHOR DEVELOPED A NON-DYNAMIC PROGRAMME IN ORDER TO SIMUL ATE A CONTINUOUS GRAIN DRIER WITH A HEAT PUMP AND HEAT RECOVERY. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE EFFECTIVE THERMAL EFFECT OF THE PLANT IS MORE THAN DOUBLED WHENCOMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL PLANT ; THE OPERATING TIME AND THE EFFICIENCY PER YEAR ARE ALMOST DOUBLED IF THE GRAINS ARE DRIED AND COOLED IN TWO STEPS, IE DURING AND AFTER HARVESTING. ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS, AFTER OPERATING CONDITIONS, LOWER BY 55 TO 75% THAN THAT OF A CONVENTIONAL PLANT.
