A Drying system for Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae Based on multi-source coupling and efficient energy storag

Abstract

The traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae mostly grows in Southwest China. However, due to the lack of technology, the key drying process in the production of Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae has the problems of low efficiency, long time and uneven quality. The paper designed a drying system of Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae based on multi-source coupling and efficient energy storage by investigating the production of Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae in southwest China and studying the natural effects of geographical advantages and light conditions in the region. The main body of the system is composed of a two-position water tank heat circulation system, a hemispherical Fresnel lens array, an air source heat pump, a dehumidification and waste heat recovery device, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a heat exchange tube group. The drying system can better meet the drying needs of Chinese herbal medicine Rhizoma et Radix Baphicacanthis Cusiae. It has the advantages of high efficiency, energy conservation and environmental protection, stable operation, and can independently adjust according to the drying temperature. It has strong practicability. While saving energy, it saves high drying cost for farmers, and meets the special requirements of building intelligent agriculture and enriching rural economic business forms.
