Application of Material Properties to Improve Grain Drying

Номер: US20120167408A1
Автор: George Ondier, Terry J. Siebenmorgen
Принадлежит: University of Arkansas

A method for drying grain with a single drying step is based on the glass transition temperature (Tg) hypothesis. The air used to dry the grain is maintained at a sufficient temperature and relative humidity (RH) such that the grain remains entirely in the rubbery state during the drying process, which prevents the formation of fissures that result from the transition of the grain to the glassy state at the grain kernel periphery. The result of the process is an improved head rice yield (HRY) comparable to longer, multi-step drying methods but which may be accomplished in less time and with lower energy requirements.

Portable System for Directing Pressurized Air Upon a Surface

Номер: US20120255585A1
Автор: Mark Kowalczyk
Принадлежит: Individual

A portable system for treating, for example, cleaning and/or drying, surfaces, including both indoor and outdoor surfaces, is provided. The system includes a pressurized air outlet assembly, or “air knife” assembly, coupled to a source of pressurized air, for example, a blower, a fan, or a turbine. The air knife assembly concentrates a high volume exhaust flow of air into a high velocity, high temperature, and/or high pressure air stream directed at a target surface. The air stream can be angularly varied to propel water, snow, debris, and other particulate from the target surface, for example, a path or roadway being cleaned or dried. The air knife blade assembly is substantially long enough to allow a single lane of roadway or runway to be dried and cleaned in one pass, but can also be shortened to allow treatment of narrower paths.

Heater and controls for extraction of moisture and biological organisms from structures

A gas heater with specialized controls allows an operator to deploy a single device to heat and to dry when extracting moisture from a structure. The heater has a fan in a blow thru arrangement ahead of a burner. The burner uses either natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. The heater has air flow, fan motor, temperature, and ignition controls and sensors. The heater delivers high temperature air to the structure that hastens evaporation as the heated air absorbs great concentrations of water vapor. Then the moisture laden heated air exits the building as the heater draws in fresh air, ducts it into a structure, and pressurizes the structure. This moisture laden air then leaks from the building through select windows using the energy imparted from the fan and then exhausts the moisture to the atmosphere, drying the structure. 1. In an open-loop drying system that includes flexible ducting attachable to user-selectable structures present at fixed locations for introducing into enclosed spaces within such structures non-recirculated treated air for effecting removal of moisture from and the drying of the interiors of such enclosed spaces within such structures , wherein such structures are configurable to provide a vent opening to atmosphere and to permit an exchange of air within and the discharge to outside atmosphere of air from such enclosed spaces as the drying system operates in drying mode , a drying system component comprising:a portable drying device transportable to the fixed location of a given structure and positionable thereat external to such given structure, said drying device separate from such given structure, connectable to the flexible ducting attachable to such given structure, and having communication to the atmosphere, said drying device including:a cabinet structure;a heating unit within said cabinet structure;an inlet portion into said cabinet structure admitting air from the atmosphere;an outlet portion from said cabinet structure to which ...
