ShareThe performance of an isothermal desiccant bed system for cooling stored grains.
Author(s) : THORPE G. R., CHEN L.
Summary
This paper describes a system that is based on an open-cycle desiccant bed cooling system that can reduce the wet-bulb temperature of ambient air. The energy consumption of the device is about 0.7 kWh of electrical energy per tonne of grain cooled and the thermal energy consumption is about 35 MJ per tonne. It is estimated that the thermal energy can be supplied by transpired solar collectors that have an area of 0.1 m2 per tonne of grain cooled.
