Abstract: Grain is fed from a hopper to a horizontally oriented adjustable speed steam heated auger driven by a variable speed drive. The auger is long enough (approximately twenty inches) that temperature controlled steam fed to a plurality of inlets along the auger as related to the rate of grain movement through the auger heats the gain therein to approximately three hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Then it is dropped through a grain outlet opening into a high velocity cold air stream temperature shocking the hot grain causing a sudden contraction of grain outer layers causing them to crack and loosen from the grain core. The grain is then fed through tubes to space between a rotatable internally rubber (or soft plastic) sheet layer sheathed inner surface outer mill member fitted to and rotatable about a truncated cone member having outer surface metal channel members angled approximately forty five degrees adjacent at the top and diverging at the bottom.
Abstract: The insertion of a specifically designed evaporative cooled supplemental condenser in a refrigeration system, working in operative relation with the air cooled condenser of the system, enhances the system operation. The objective of this evaporative type supplemental condenser is to improve the condensing capacity of the existing air cooled refrigerant condenser to the extent that its performance will counteract the detrimental effects of high ambient temperatures by supplementing the existing condenser capacity. The system's air cooled condenser will perform as the primary condenser and the supplemental condenser will correct the pressures and temperatures of the refrigerant as required, for counteracting the effects of high ambient temperature operation on air conditioning refrigeration systems.
