ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a grain dryer having a heat exchange assembly is provided. The grain dryer comprises a housing and a generally vertical granular-material conduit for conducting granular material through the housing. The heat exchange assembly of the dryer comprises heat exchange means having a gas passageway and at least one tubular radiator element disposed in the passageway. Means is provided for causing hot combustion gas to flow through the hollow interior of the radiator element to heat the element, with the temperature of the discharged combustion gas being reduced. A gas conduit directs the flow of discharged combustion gas from the tubular radiator element through the passageway of the heat exchange means externally of the tubular radiator element to increase the temperature of the discharged combustion gas. The flow of combustion gas from the passageway of the heat exchange means is then introduced into the granular-material conduit to evaporate moisture from the granular material therein. The gas-flow conduit has separation means to eliminate particulate materials such as sparks, combustable materials or other by-products of combustion from the combustion gas, including a filter, a baffle wall, and side walls to turn the flow of combustion gas through 270.degree..
