Low temperature vacuum drying technique shows very excellent energy efficiency and prominent drying performances compared with the conventional hot air drying technique. This study was focused on the thermal characteristics of the low temperature vacuum drying technique. From the results of this study, it was confirmed that the time consumption for drying with the new drying technique could be shortened to about 1/3 of the time consumption with the conventional hot air drying technique under the same drying conditions for wet products. Also, the maximum drying rate with the new drying technique reached to about $0.35kg/m^2h$ at about 400% of moisture content.

Low temperature vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and quantity of exhausting energy is about 25~30% of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. This paper is made out in the aspects of heat engineering with the object of developing Korean drying machine which can dry once a large quantity of objects to be dried in the state of low temperature and vacuum. As the results, it took about 17 hours(3~4 days in case of hot air drying) for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 78~80% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.35 kg/m2hr at about 400% of the moisture content.

In tradition, there have been two kinds of drying methods, which are sun drying and artificial drying. The sun drying method which has been adopted traditionally has been replaced by the hot-air drying method which is one of the most general methods of artificial drying, with its simple drying system, low initial cost of drying plant, and easy operating method. But the hot-air drying method has some defects; (1) much energy loss happens due to the discharge of hot air during the drying process, (2) control of drying rate is not easy on account of changing relative humidity of inlet air for uniform hot air temperature, (3) high temperature of foods in drying process brings about the production of low-grade drying products. Vacuum drying takes advantage of energy saving and mass production because it reduces the drying time by increasing the drying rate under low temperature condition. The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation.

The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacuum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation Usally operations just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressure as low 50 mmHg abs. The lowers the boiling point to $39^{\circ}C$ The experimental data of quantitative analysis for using practically were obtained by the constant drying rate period and reducing drying rate period according to the temperature of hot water which is the experimental parameters of present experiment. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content is order to store products for a long time about 450% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.30 kg/m2hr at about 350% of the moisture content.

Also, the hot-air drying method is inducing environmental and sanitary problems which are resulting from the emission of high temperature and high humidity air, including stick on the drying progress. Vacuum drying technique, whose drying time and 7uantity of exhausting energy is about 1/3 ~1/4 of hot air drying, is very excellent in the drying efficiency. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content in order to store products for a long time, from about 470% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying, and maximum drying rate comes to about $0.35 kg/m^2hr$ at about 350% of the moisture content.

This study was conducted to improve the performance of low-temperature vacuum dryer by applying desiccant to cold trap. Performance evaluation was carried out using several desiccants. The amounts of absorption and diffusivity were measured based on analytic model. Results of desiccant performance evaluation revealed that silica-gel had the most excellent performance for conditions of low-temperature vacuum drying process. Silica-gel was applied to cold trap for evaluating the drying performance. The experiment results showed that the drying time was extended as the thickness of sample was increased due to increased heat and mass transfer resistance of drying sample. In addition, as heating plate temperature was increased, drying time was decreased due to increased evaporation pressure of drying sample. Furthermore, drying time with desiccant was decreased approximately 20% than that without desiccant.

Of the roughly four million known substances, about 60,000 are processed and sold ; many of these must be dried. Many materials are processed in the liquid state - ideal for mixing and reacting - but most products are needed or wanted as dry, or relatively dry, solids. Usually operation is just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressures as low as 26.66kPa abs.. In spite of the global-class aquiculture agriculture and fisheries technology of our country, the processing technologies are lags behind the other nations relatively. These problems are considered to be caused directly by the lack of drying technologies. This paper is concerned to the experimental results of drying heat transfer characteristics for the green energy type vacuum dryer for the high quality agriculture and fisheries production.

저온진공건조 조건에 따른 곶감의 건조특성 및 품질적 변화를 분석하였다. 곶감의 건조 특성은 전형적인 항율건조기간과 감율건조기간이 존재함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 진공압력이 높을수록 가열온도가 높을수록 곶감의 당도, 당 함량, 경도 값은 높게 나타났으며 이에 비해 명도 값은 낮게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 기존 천일 및 열풍건조를 대처할 수 있는 진공건조의 최적 조건은 진공압력이 40~50kPa abs., 가열온도 $30^{\circ}C$, 건조시간은 3~4일 이었다.

본 연구에서는 하수처리장에서 발생하는 하수슬러지의 부피를 감소시키기 위하여 감압건조법을 이용하여 반응압력, 반응시간, 반응온도에 따른 하수슬러지의 탈수효율을 조사하였다. 반응압력이 낮아질수록 슬러지의 함수율은 감소되는 경향을 보였으며, 동일한 반응압력 및 반응온도에서는 반응시간이 길어질수록 탈수효율이 상승하였고 반응온도에 따라서는 $120^{\circ}C$ 이상에서부터 슬러지의 탈수효과가 뛰어남을 알 수가 있었다. 결과적으로 하수슬러지를 감압건조법으로 처리할시에는 탈수효율이 기존의 탈수 방법보다 우수한 결과를 보임으로서 하수슬러지의 처리시 소요되는 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 슬러지뿐만 이아니라 음식물쓰레기 등의 유기성폐기물에도 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

굴은 향기가 좋고 영양성분이 풍부하며 질병 예방의 기능성이 높은 우수한 수산식품으로 동서양인 모두가 선호한다. 대량으로 생산된 굴의 보관 및 유통의 편의성을 증가시키는 가장 좋은 방법은 건조하는 것인데, 기존의 열풍건조나 동결건조에 의할 경우에는 굴의 육질이 매우 약하여 향과 영양 성분의 파괴가 많아 완전건조가 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 $15^{\circ}C$ 저온진공건조기술을 이용하여 한국산 양식 생굴과 자연산 생굴을 완전 건조하는 과정에서 진공상태하의 진공열전달특성에 관한 실험적 결과를 보고하였다.
