Some experimental results of garlic drying in SBOG-150 drying system using biogas energy

Abstract

The forced convection heaters using biogas have been designed,
manufactured and tested to dry sliced garlics in order to study the
effect of drying temperature, air flow velocity on drying time,
moisture removal capacity, oil and vitamin content. Through
experimental research, it was found that drying using biogas energy
generated heat by the exchange of heat and air in the calorife,andused
a forced draft fan to push fresh air into the chamber in order to
increase the quality of the products, reduce the time and energy costs,
and increase the economic efficiency of production.
