Conserving barley by keeping it at low temperature.Peer-reviewed article

J. LOOS

The author discusses the possibility of conserving barley at malt plants by cooling it to low temperature. Both technical and economical aspects of the problem are analysed. The consumption of thermal and electrical energy for two alternatives, viz. drying and cooling, is compared. The results indicate that under certain conditions the discussed method may be practical and economically justified. It can be applied only for comparatively shortterm storage of barley with moisture content not exceeding 18 %.
