Abstract
A warehouse dryer which uses non-conventioanl energy sources a center-tube furnace fuelled with combustible agricultural residues a heat source for drying and vortex wind machine as the power source for moving air inside a warehouse has been developed. Alternative construction materials such as soil bricks for the furnace soil-straw block for the warehouse wall and water-proofing finish for the wall were adopted. A vertical tray was also utilized for higher energy efficiency and maximum space utilization. The drying system was evaluated using paddy corn coconut meat fish abaca peanut and cassava. Results of the evaluation presented describe the drying phenomena in a warehouse drying system and the characteristics of the dried product
