“…The dried product is more hygienic because it is carried out in the drying chamber. This study is in line with Delgado-Plaza et al (2020) that drying products using a dryer minimises animal disturbance and rainy weather conditions compared to drying in the open sun. The dryer in this study was also designed to dry food ingredients other than jackfruit dodol.…”

“…However, both natural and artificial drying processes involve synchronous heat and mass exchange between the surrounding air and the granules. Furthermore, this process tends to reduce the moisture to a minimum level thereby ensuring its safety before consumption and storage (Delgado-Plaza et al, 2020). This also needs to be supported by adequate facilities.…”

Rice husk is a cheap fuel source and it is abundantly available in Indonesia. The heat exchanger mechanism was used in other to, the dried material was not contaminated by the combustion gases. The drying system consists of three components which include the furnace, heat exchanger pipe, and drying chamber. The heat exchanger pipe connects the furnace with the drying chamber and transfers the heat generated from rice husk burning to the drying chamber. The drying chamber was the section for drying the jackfruit dodol. It consists of 4 shelves and is equipped with an exhaust fan. The results showed capable that the dryer decreases moisture faster than conventional methods. The moisture content of jackfruit dodol reduced from 29% to 23.7% within 600 minutes and the average drying chamber efficiency was 25.3%.

“…In addition, during the drying process, it does not require constant attention as is done during dry in the sun. When compared to dry in the sun, that using a rice husk dryer to dry food requires little attention as rain or animal disturbance [27]. As presented in Figure 3 is the result of research on the application of a dryer using a heat exchanger with rice husk energy sources.…”

A review of rice husks as an energy source was carried out to provide information on their use in the drying process, especially handling post-harvest for small farmers. This is done because there are still many small farmers who only use the sun to dry their food. Drying is done by dry in the sun and this process still has drawbacks. The weakness of the process of drying in the sun is very dependent on the weather, so when it is cloudy or rainy the drying process will stop. Of course, this causes losses to small farmers, on the other hand, waste is abundant in the form of rice husks. This is related to rice as the farmer's staple crop and rice husk is a by-product of rice production. Based on several studies and libraries, a satisfactory result was obtained regarding rice husks. Rice husk can be used as sustainable alternative energy. Increasing the drying temperature, it can be done through an energy conversion process. This method is carried out by adding a heat exchanger to increase heat transfer from the burning of rice husks to the drying air. This method is also able to shorten the drying time and the dried food becomes hygienic. This is as a result of the drying process of foodstuffs carried out in the drying room, to avoid dirt and dust. Utilization of rice husks and heat exchangers as an alternative in overcoming the problems of conventional agriculture in terms of uncertain weather and climate.

“…Over time, scientists began to consider including electricity consumption in the energy balance of an agricultural dryer. Thus, in their paper, Delgado-Plaza et al [19] estimated the energy consumption (including fuel and electricity) of the rice and corn drying process in the equatorial zone. They assessed 49 rice dryers and 14 yellow corn dryers powered by LPG and biomass.…”

Comparison of Energy Consumption of Cereal Grain Dryer Powered by LPG and Hard Coal in Polish Conditions

The calculation method commonly used in the industry takes into consideration mainly fuel consumption (excluding electricity) and the amount of removed moisture which is reflected in the unit MJ·(Mg·%)−1. This is not a scientific approach because the result will change if the basic moisture is different (drying from 21% to 18% will consume less energy than drying from 18% to 15%). This paper aims to compare the energy consumption of two industrial continuous flow grain dryers powered by LPG and hard coal based on a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency calculation enriched with electricity consumption, flow measurements, and control of grain moisture. It could be useful for manufacturers who could use this method to generate more reliable data in their product datasheets, and it could also be legally regulated as an appropriate tool for calculating the energy consumption of agricultural grain dryers. According to the approach presented in this paper, the S428.CS construction powered by LPG gas had an energy consumption that was 6.14% lower than the DT2532 dryer construction, which used hard coal.
