Abstract
Abstract The electric-contact heating method is proposed to be applied to reduce the moisture content of the industrial-grade cotton seeds to meet the relevant standard requirements. The rationale for safe heating conditions has been provided. The effect of different factors on the efficiency of the preliminary drying of seeds has been studied. Theoretical and graphic laws of the specific energy consumption change depending on different parameters have been defined. The obtained results prove the high efficiency of the proposed method: specific energy consumption decrease by 2.8 – 3.8 times against the existing technology.
