Abstract
Two identical storeroom driers have been tested under the same conditions. The tests have comprised comparisons between the Ravnsborg 5.5 kW dry-air generator (heat pump) and conventional cold-air driers. Moreover, test results from 5 foreign tests have been analyzed for determination of the capabilities of dry-air generators when used for storeroom drying on English and German farms. The test has shown that dry-air generators (heat pumps) can be used as an alternative to conventional cold-air dryers for storeroom drying purposes. The use of dry-air generators has resulted in essential energy savings, considerable reductions in drying time and more uniform drying of entire grain stores. Under very moist weather conditions the use of dry-air generators is especially advantageous. The energy saving must, however, be looked at in proportion to the additional costs connected to the dry-air generators as compared to conventional systems. Therefore, installation of dry-air generators will especially be of interest at major plant breeding farms and at grain dealers`, where large seasonal quantities of more than 500 tons of grain or seeds are dried.
