Вакуумная порционная энергосберегающая зерносушилка

Полезная модель относится к сельскохозяйственной и перерабатывающей технике и может быть использована для сушки зерна на открытом воздухе на хлебоприемных и зерноперерабатывающих предприятиях. Вакуумная порционная энергосберегающая зерносушилка содержит два сообщающихся блока: вакуумную камеру и блок охлаждения зерна. Сушка осуществляется за счет помещения массы зерна в вакуумную камеру и понижения в ней давления с помощью вакуумного насоса. Вакуумная камера образована двумя полыми цилиндрами, установленными соосно один в другом вертикально на открытом воздухе, и в наружном цилиндре, одна стенка которого ограничена внутренним цилиндром, циркулирует воздушный теплоноситель, который частично подогревается в процессе охлаждения зерна. В случае выхода из строя основного вакуумного насоса, непосредственно, в процессе сушки, предусмотрен дополнительный вакуумный насос. Полезная модель позволяет упростить конструкцию, снизить время сушки и охлаждения без ухудшения показателей всхожести. 1 ил.
