Abstract:
Up to now, multiple research studies have been carried out aimed at improving the technologies for processing agricultural products, by researchers both nationally and internationally, however, the problems characteristic of these processing processes have not been definitively solved, especially those related to reducing energy consumption, increasing the reliability of the equipment and reducing costs. In order to solve these problems and to examine the peculiarities of applying high-voltage discharges to the processing of agricultural products, research was conducted to dimension and develop an experimental installation for the production and use of these discharges, on the basis of which experimental investigations were carried out, allowing the advantages of the proposed technology compared to existing ones to be evaluated.
