An improved technology in utilizing solar energy for drying grain is the use of solar driers where the air is heated in a solar collector and then passed through beds of grain. There are two basic types of solar drier appropriate for use with grain : natural convection driers where the air flow is induced by thermal gradients; and forced convection driers wherein air is forced through a solar collector and the grain bed by a fan. 2, record 1, English, - solar%20dryer

Solar heating is heat created by the energy of the sun. Solar heat can be either active or passive. Passive solar heating, as the name suggests, takes advantage of the heat created through natural means(heat created when sunlight passes through a window and becomes trapped inside a building). Active solar heating systems are made up of three components : the solar collector, energy storage, and distribution pipes or ducts. Sunlight is collected by absorber panels, conditioned if required, and distributed through the building by a heat transfer fluid or by air. 2, record 2, English, - solar%20heating

The compartmented bag collector(Figure 12) is used with either reverse air flow or shaker type bag cleaning.... The uncompartmented bag collector(Figure 13) employs the use of compressed air to sharply reverse the flow through the bags to apply a shock to the dust cake.

Aquatic studies begin by measuring as accurately as possible all of the materials being deposited in each particular watershed from the atmosphere. A variety of collectors are used to obtain this information. Some are designed to collect only rainfall and have a moisture sensitive control device which opens the lid of the collector only while it is raining. Other collectors are open at all times so they collect both rain and any material that settles from the air-so called "dry deposition". Still other collectors are designed to measure snowfall. 1, record 21, English, - collector
