A batch dryer for un-peeled longan drying

The performance of a modified batch dryer was compared to that of a conventional unit. Two thousand kilograms of fresh longan were used in each drying batch. The depth of fresh longan was 60 cm, the drying air temperature 75-80°C and the airflow rate 3.8 m3/s (air velocity 0.7 m/s). Test results ind...

Description
Summary:The performance of a modified batch dryer was compared to that of a conventional unit. Two thousand kilograms of fresh longan were used in each drying batch. The depth of fresh longan was 60 cm, the drying air temperature 75-80°C and the airflow rate 3.8 m3/s (air velocity 0.7 m/s). Test results indicated that the modified dryer was more convenient to work with and required less turning time for longan inside dryer. The quality of the dried longan was uniform and did not differ from those dried in the conventional dryer.
