A biomass combustor based dryer was evaluated with different biomass for drying of ginger. Biomass combustor based dryer consists of fuel hopper, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, grate for proper combustion of the combustible gas, chimney, ambient air inlet, hot air outlet and drying chamber. The system was evaluated at five fuel consumption rate (1 to 5 kg.h–1) and five air flow rate (100, 150, 200, 300 and 400 m3.h–1) using maize cobs, sized wood and saw dust briquettes for ginger drying. The experimental performances show that the hot air temperature inside the dryer vary between 36 to 81ºC for maize cobs, 53 to 85ºC for sized wood and 49 to 87ºC for biomass briquettes at tested air flow rate and fuel consumption rate in the system. The maximum efficiency of the system was found at the fuel consumption rate of 1 kg.h–1 and 400 m3.h–1 air flow rate using maize cobs, sized wood and saw dust briquettes as fuel respectively. The cost of operation of ginger drying at 1 kg.h–1 fuel consumption rate and 400 m3/h air flow rate was Rs. 32.76, 34.26, 34.76 and 55 per hour using maize cobs, sized wood, saw dust briquettes and mechanical drying system, respectively. Hence, the drying of ginger in biomass combustor based dryer using maize cobs at 1 kg.h–1 fuel consumption rate and 400 m3/h air flow rate resulted in better performance.

Dpph Radical Scavenging

To establish the most convenient and effective method to dry tangerine peels, different methods (sun drying, hot-air drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, and medium- and short-wave infrared drying) were exploited. Our results indicated that medium- and short-wave infrared drying was the best method to preserve nutraceutical components; for example, vitamin C was raised to 6.77 mg/g (D.W.) from 3.39 mg/g (sun drying). Moreover, the drying time can be shortened above 96% compared with sun drying. Importantly, the efficiency of DPPH radical scavenging was enhanced from 26.66% to 55.92%. These findings would provide a reliable and time-saving methodology to produce high-quality dried tangerine peels.

Mill Process

Paper mills use elaborated drying process using hot rollers to dry the paper. In the recent past, use of hot air for drying has gained some interest. The main disadvantage of this method is non-uniform air temperature, which will cause lateral shrinkage of the paper. This paper discusses a new drying system. The process incorporates a porous medium to ensure uniform temperature by flattening the velocity distribution. The new system requires less equipment pieces and utilized less space for the drying process. A cloth is used in place of paper to increase the repeatability of the experiment. This experiment utilized a conveyor system to transport the cloth within the heater section. Variables concerning velocity and temperature values of the heated air, and heater intensity were adjusted to produce the different drying conditions. Forced air propane heater was used as the heat source. Design modifications were made so that the heater is more suitable for this process. The results showed significant improvement of the velocity and feasibility of extending this technology to the actual scale.

Drying Efficiency

Based on the drying technology principle of lithium-ion battery cathode coating, the variation law of dry base moisture content and drying rate in the process of hot-air drying and infrared drying was studied. The experimental results show that the cathode coating of lithium-ion battery dried under hot-air and infrared conditions can be divided into three stages: increasing-rate, constant-rate, and falling-rate. The constant-rate stage is the main drying stage, accounting for more than 50% of the weight loss, the falling-rate stage is the main energy consumption stage, accounting for more than 50% of the time. Under the condition of hot-air, the change level of airspeed is the main influencing factor of the drying process, and the drying time can be reduced by about 35% for each 0.7 m/s increase in airspeed. Under infrared conditions, the change level of radiation power is the main influencing factor of the drying process, and the drying time can be reduced by about 34.1% for every 100W of power increase. The optimal drying conditions under hot-air conditions are: air temperature 90 °C, airspeed 2.3 m/s; the optimal drying conditions under infrared conditions are: radiation distance 13 cm, radiation power 200 W. By comparing the best conditions of hot-air and infrared, it can be known that the drying efficiency is higher in the infrared condition and the drying duration is 160 s, but the energy utilization rate in the falling-rate stage in the infrared condition is lower than that in the hot-air condition. Therefore, when infrared drying enters the falling-rate stage, it can be supplemented by hot-air drying to further improve the drying efficiency.

The objective of this research was to comparatively investigate the effect of hot air drying (HA) and hybrid microwave-infrared drying (MI) on physico-chemical characteristics of Thai fermented fish viscera, Tai-Pla, curry powder (TCP). HA was carried out at 60°C, 70°C, and 80°C and MI was carried out at a microwave power of 740, 780, and 810 W with a constant infrared heating power (500 W) for different drying times to obtain the final moisture content ≤ 12.0% and the water activity (aw) ≤ 0.6. The quality characteristics of TCP were governed by HA temperature and MI output power. TCP dried using HA and MI at all conditions had similar contents of protein, lipid, ash, fiber, and carbohydrate (p>0.05). The fastest drying rate was detected when MI at 810 W for 40 min was applied (p<0.05). In this condition, TCP had the lowest browning index (A294 and A420) and the highest lightness (L* value) (p<0.05). TCP dried with MI at all powers had higher phenolic content and lower TBARS compared to HA (p<0.05). However, no significant differences in DPPH• scavenging activity were observed among TPC made by HA and MI (p>0.05). Similar Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra with different peak intensities were observed in all samples, indicating the same functional groups with different contents were found. The bulk density of all TCP ranged from 0.51 g/mL to 0.61 g/mL and the wettability ranged from 24.02% to 26.70%. MI at 810 W for 40 min effectively reduced the drying time (5-fold faster) and lowered the specific energy consumption (18-fold lower) compared to the HA at 60°C for 210 min. Therefore, MI is a promising drying technique to reduce the drying time and improve the overall quality of TCP.
