Streszczenie
This article presents a mathematical model of the drying agent flow in a crossflow heat exchanger in a 1.2MW
continuous cereal grain dryer model DT1512SPEC manufactured by ARAJ. In order to create the model, the Surfer 23®
software and own data from temperature and humidity measurements made in a given facility based on the use of a Sonel DIT-
500 pyrometer combined with a PT100 thermocouple and an Assmann psychrometer. Subsequently, the heat exchanger
theoretical and real power and its efficiency during measurements were determined. Then, the work performed was
summarized, and recommendations that could improve the drying unit operation were presented.
