Solar drying: Case studies

Solar Energy for rice drying in a farm (800 tonnes of rice per year), developed by SOLARTHERM, Portugal

The rice dryer permits an energy reduction of about 400 Kcal/kg of water to be evaporated, so for 800 tonnes of dried rice, the annual energy substitution is of 64 toe (tonnes of oilk equivalent).
