ENERGY-EFFICIENT MODES OF DRYING OF COLLOIDAL CAPILLARY-POROUS MATERIALS

摘要

Drying is one efficient technological method to preserve and process vegetable raw material. This is a thermotechnical process with a high expenditure of the energy carrier, which is accompanied by irreversible phenomena. Therefore, it is of first importance to carry out investigations on selecting an optimum drying mode to ensure a maximum expenditure of the energy carrier and a maximum rate of removal of moisture, and also to retain all the physicomechanical and biochemical properties of the dried material.
