Abstract:Drying of tobacco leaves and stems is a high energy intensive process. Pulsed electric field treatment can be applied to decrease significant energy requirements. An analysis of the electrical circuits of the equipment for pulsed electric field treatment of plants has been accomplished and an electric circuit for longitudinal PEF equipment to treat tobacco leaves and stems with a buffer capacitor and a rectifier for high voltage has been proposed. A method for determination of the electric circuit parameters a… Show more
