Abstract

The type of drying device known as a hybrid dryer is a tool that harnesses solar energy and the heat generated by a biomass fuel-powered heat exchanger. This study was conducted to assess the performance of the hybrid dryer by analyzing the parameters of the device itself and the dried material. The research was carried out experimentally using a solar collector and a biomass furnace (as a heat exchanger) to heat the air. The solar collector used consists of 0.35 mm thick, black-painted zinc, coated with 5 mm thick glass, and installed at a 20-degree angle. The heat exchanger pipe used has a diameter of 1.25 inches and is made of galvanized pipe. The tested sample is corn seeds with an initial moisture content of about 24.6%. The experimental results show that in the drying process using a solar dryer, the initial moisture content of 24.8% was successfully reduced to 14% at 5.50 h (rack 1), 6.50 h (rack 2) and 7.00 h (rack 3) with a thermal efficiency of 24.25%. Meanwhile, in the hybrid drying process, the required time is approximately 5.00 h (rack 1), 5.50 h (rack 2) and 6.00 h (rack 3), with a efficiency of the drying equipment used is 21.048±5.690% (hybrid) and 22.706±6.437% (solar).

Abstract

The operational efficiency of mid-capacity (140 MW) Combined Cycle Gas and Steam Power Plants (CCGT) remains underexplored concerning the DIN-VDI 4661 standard, which defines key quality metrics for energy systems. Addressing this gap is crucial for establishing standardized benchmarks to optimize performance and reduce energy losses. Existing studies mainly focus on Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) units outside the 100–180 MW range and often do not explicitly follow DIN-VDI 4661, limiting efficiency comparisons and hindering targeted optimizations. This study simulates a 140 MW CCGT using Ebsilon® Professional software, incorporating DIN-VDI 4661 guidelines to assess eight quality indicators, including thermal efficiency, fuel utilization, and power-to-heat ratio. The model integrates gas and steam turbines, heat recovery, and auxiliary components, with input parameters validated against industry data. Energy balance analysis and sensitivity tests identified loss points. Results show a gas turbine thermal efficiency of 31.39%, steam turbine efficiency of 39.59%, and total system efficiency of 48.42%. However, significant energy losses (52% of input energy) were observed, mainly in gas turbines (87,000 kW) and steam turbines (56,000 kW). These findings highlight the need for design optimizations, such as improving heat recovery and turbine efficiency, to meet DIN-VDI 4661 benchmarks.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need for the efficiency of the biomass solid fuel drying process in existing dryer installations. This study aims to optimize the insulation on the primary and secondary sides of the spiral heat exchanger and validate the electrical power on the heater register and the heat flow measured by the system. The approach used was the application of a mixture of 25 ml ISO PUR K 760 and 100 ml ISO-PUR K760 Härter (ISO-ELEKTRA Elektrochemische Fabrik GmbH) and the comparison of thermal and electrical power results calculated using temperature difference data between the inlet and outlet of the heater register without readings in a PC regulator. Experiments were conducted with constant parameters, i.e. target temperature 50°C, fan power level 7, and compressor electricity consumption 541 W. This study proves that after sealing the spiral heat exchanger, there is an increase in energy consumption efficiency. In addition, the approach based on temperature difference in calculating heat power can improve the accuracy in observing energy in the biomass drying system.
