Among the thermal sources that can be used for drying food, solar energy has as its main advantage being abundant, renewable and not monopolized. In solar drying, the product is heated directly or indirectly by solar rays and the water is removed by the processes of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. There may be an improvement in the drying process by the simultaneous use of solar radi…
Despite its advantages, the spouted bed has presented several limitations that prevent its application on an industrial scale and has been motivating the study and application of different configurations and geometries, as well as the use of different processing methodologies. As the main problems from the industrial point of view, the restrictions on the processing capacity and the energ…
The moisture content of solids after the drying process is an important variable for industrial processes, determining the quality of the final product. Nevertheless, it is not an easily controllable variable, due to lack of equipment for measuring them. Currently, controllers used in industrial dryers are mostly manual and based on the experience of operators. However, with technological…
The conventional spouted bed has presented several limitations that restrict the use on an industrial scale. Thus, studies of different methodologies and configurations have been performed to overcome such limitations. Limited processing capacity (scaling-up) and the energy issues are some of the main problems considered from an industrial point of view. Alternatives as a heat recovery sy…
