An Inferential Control Strategy for Low-Temperature Canola/Colza Drying

Abstract

Moisture content is an important variable in low-temperature drying but it cannot easily be followed “on line” so an inferential control strategy is proposed, particulary for canola. The strategy uses the inlet temperature to control the grain moisture content. Good results (R2≥0.925) were obtained when the strategy was tested by experiment. The value of this control strategy is its relatively low cost and the resulting decrease in energy consumption.
