Abstract

Noodles are a product that has a large amount of consumption in Thailand. Therefore, it is important to extend the shelf life and increase the value of the noodles by drying. However, drying noodles has a relatively high energy consumption. For this reason, it is necessary to develop an energy-efficient drying process. Therefore, this research aims to study the drying of noodles using hot air combined with infrared stimulation. The drying performance was compared between the case with and without infrared stimulation. The experimental conditions were as follows: drying temperatures were 45, 50, and 55°C and hot air velocity were 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 m/s. Criteria used to evaluate drying performance include drying rate and specific energy consumption. The study found that increasing in drying temperature and hot air velocity resulted in an increase in the drying rate and power of the dryer. Meanwhile, the specific energy consumption has decreased. It was also found that the drying efficiency of noodles using hot air combined with infrared stimulation was higher than the drying efficiency without infrared stimulation.

利用热风结合红外线刺激改善面条的干燥性能

面条是泰国消费量很大的一种产品。因此，通过干燥延长面条的保质期并提高其价值非常重要。然而，干燥面条的能耗相对较高。因此，有必要开发一种节能的干燥工艺。因此，本研究旨在研究热空气结合红外线刺激的面条干燥方法。比较了有红外线刺激和无红外线刺激情况下的干燥性能。实验条件如下：干燥温度分别为 45、50 和 55°C，热空气速度分别为 1.0、1.5 和 2.0 米/秒。用于评估干燥性能的标准包括干燥速率和具体能耗。研究发现，提高干燥温度和热空气速度可提高干燥速率和干燥机功率。同时，比能耗有所降低。研究还发现，使用热风结合红外线刺激的面条干燥效率高于不使用红外线刺激的干燥效率。
