Due to a galloping rise in the energy demand by the buildings in the recent decades, the
transition from a conventional building to a sustainable net zero energy building (NZEB) has …

According to the principle of sustainability, modern industry should preserve nonrenewable
energy sources and develop more efficient processes, especially in terms of energy …

A solar-assisted solid desiccant dryer was used to dry crushed oil palm fronds. Solar energy
was used to heat water with a solar collector and heat was transferred to the air through two …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art of design aspects,
energetic performances, and mathematical modeling on superheated steam drying (SSD). In …

This paper introduces a closed-loop dryer system to reduce the energy consumption for milk
powder production. The system is based on a monodisperse droplet atomizer which reduces …

ABSTRACT A rotary desiccant dehumidifier based on an evacuated tube solar air collector
with a phase change material (PCM) storage unit has been experimentally investigated. The …

Desiccant cooling systems are spreading as a promising technology to reduce the energy
consumption and environmental impact of conventional electric driven vapour compression …

This article reports the incorporation of a rotary desiccant wheel unit into an air recirculated
convective dryer and testing it by drying corn kernels. Experiments were conducted with and …

Drying is one of the most important post-harvest processes for reducing the moisture content
of agricultural products and improving their performance has obvious benefits. Most dryers …

The periodic total heat exchanger system consists of four centrifugal fans and two desiccant
beds. During the half-period, one fan drives air through one desiccant bed for adsorption …
