Abstract:
A heating system for removing moisture stored with grains, said system comprising:a containment vessel stored with grains within the vessel, the vessel having a wall; a transmission line network configured to receive electromagnetic energy, the transmission line network including: a first conductor; and a second conductor angularly spaced with the first conductor to provide the electromagnetic energy within the grain material and remove the moisture; a grain vapor extraction system of the containment vessel having an air blower to provide an airflow through the grains within the grain containment vessel and a heat exchange system for heating the airflow provided by the air blower and continuously providing airflow through the grains to keep the heat of the grain below the latent heat of vaporization of water; an electromagnectic energy source connected to the first conductor; and a dielectric heating system for increasing insect deinfestation from the grains by operating an antenna heating system positioned outside the containment vessel.
