Research of temperature zones during primary processing of silkworm cocoons using a modern thermal imaging camera

Abstract

Abstract The article presents the results of studies conducted at the Tashkent State Technical University (based on the research project № F-A-2018-029) to determine the temperature zones in the vibrating infrared dryer using thermal imaging during the primary processing of silkworm cocoons. To ensure a uniform temperature and maintain the quality of the final product, one of the important tasks is to determine the temperature zones at different points of the device and eliminate heat loss in it. On the basis of the obtained results of the study with the help of a thermal imaging device, the drawbacks of the infrared vibrating drying unit associated with the emitters and the flow of heat flow in the primary processing of cocoons were eliminated, and the optimum temperatures were determined and uniform processing of mulberry silkworm cocoons was ensured.
