Title: Negative-pressure solar dryer for large round alfalfa bales

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5482005

A single-bale, portable, negative-pressure solar dryer was constructed and tested. It was found that design criteria established on pressurized systems could be used for negative-pressure systems. Hay packaged at 40 percent moisture content dried more uniformly if baled with a fixed-chamber baler.
