Utilization of discarded heat in malt kiln.Peer-reviewed article

S. BAXA

Increasing requirement on a malt quality result in the use of an indirect kilning with the top level malts. Higher heat consumptions must be compensationed by the use of discarded beat. Two procedures of the use of discarded heat from a saturated air outflowing from a kiln for a preheating of a drying air are described in the paper. The first procedure comprises glass recuperators and the second one a liquid circuit for a heat recovery. Calculations of a heat saving for both the procedures prove that with a one-floor kiln 20 - 25 % of heat can be saved while with a two-floor kiln only about 10 - 15 %.
