The Daika dryer is an
advanced system developed for drying grains and other agricultural products.
It uses heat pipe dehumidification (US Patents 4,607,498, 5,404,938, and
5,845,702), a technology derived from NASA’s Space Program, combined with a
high efficiency heat pump system, the most advanced dryer ever for farmers.
Daika systems dry far faster than conventional
dryers because the drying air is highly dehumidified. They also dry at lower
temperatures to preserve the quality of the grains.
The
results: Very low energy cost, faster drying time.
Features
-
Use of passive
loop heat pipes to maximize moisture removal from the drying air.
-
Extraction
of heat from ambient air by heat pipes to increase heat pump COP.
More drying heat for less kW.
-
Lightweight,
transportable or fixed installation.
-
Low temperature
drying for high grain quality.
-
Short
drying time and efficient drying in all weather conditions
especially in high humidity environments.
