Phase change materials are used in the design, allowing heat to be stored during the day and used at night. This feature ensures a continuous drying process and increases the overall efficiency of the equipment.
Tests conducted in Yekaterinburg showed that the new dryer processes mushrooms and other products 5 hours faster than conventional analogues. The efficiency of heat transfer is especially noticeable in regions far from the equator.
The project was implemented in partnership with Chinese researchers with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
