ABSTRACT:
The invention is, on the one hand, a method for drying products, especially corn or articles, in the course of which the products to be dried are traversed by a drying gas, the moisture content of the drying gas is diminished by contacting it with a desiccant liquid, and the desiccant liquid is at least partly regenerated after the contact. According to the invention, the drying gas stream flows through at least two layers of products to be dried successively, and before or after flowing through each layer of products it is brought into contact with the desiccant liquid. The invention is, on the other hand, an apparatus for drying products, especially corn or articles, which apparatus comprises structure for holding the products to be dried, a device for letting a drying gas flow through the holding structure, a gas processing device for contacting the gas flowing through the holding structure with a desiccant liquid, and structure for regenerating the desiccant liquid, where the apparatus for holding the products to be dried have at least two drying sections which are placed one after the other in the direction of movement of the drying gas stream, and before or after each drying section a gas processing device is placed in the way of the gas stream. Advantageously, the structure for holding the products to be dried are at least one drying path which ensures passing of the products to be dried.
