A comparison was made between alternate air conditioning methods used to dry large round forage bales. Energy consumption durin drying and the final nutritional qualit of the bales were measured durin ti% study. The methods used to increase tge drying potential of the air incfuded using a desiccant to dehumidify the drying air; a gasoline engine to drive the fan and heat the drying air and the use of direct electric heat to increase the temperature of the dr ing air. The results from the study indicate that the energy consumption was least with the use of a desiccant but the regeneration ma only be economically feasible where waste heat is available to provide tKe enery The gasoline engine was less efficient than the application of electric;. No difference in the nutritional quality of the forage due to heat damage during the drying process was noted. |
