When green wood is burned about 2= 5% of the heat energy is used to evaporate water. So the waste heat would r= eadily do this with ~40% left over for other purposes.=0AYt, DW ---2114655128-288511798-1353282973=:78457 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body><div style=3D"color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:ti= mes new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div><span>Hi Dave</s= pan></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: = 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent;= font-style: normal;"><span>That is in essence how sugar is produced from c= anes.</span></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-= family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: tran= sparent; font-style: normal;"><span>The begause ( Spelling? ) which is the = canes from which the leaves have been burned</span></div><div style=3D"colo= r: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york= ', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>= in the field is put through rollers which presses out the sugar sap.</span>= </div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'tim= es new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-= style: normal;"><span>The begause is then burned, the heat used to remove t= he water from</span></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16p= x; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-col= or: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>the sap and dry the sugar and t= he surplus heat is used to dry</span></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0= ); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, seri= f; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>the incoming b= egause so it </span><span style=3D"background-color: transparent;">bur= ns better. </span></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: = 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-= color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span style=3D"background-color: t= ransparent;">All the burning of course ends up with brown sugar which must = be refined</span></div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; fo= nt-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: t= ransparent; font-style: normal;">in less energy efficient factories.</div><= div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new = roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style= : normal;">A very energy efficient operation but you better have an experie= nced man on hand</div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; f= ont-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: = transparent; font-style: normal;">to direct things or it can end up with lo= ts of trouble. </div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16p= x; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-col= or: transparent; font-style: normal;">On an earlier post you talked about g= reen versus dry wood.</div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16= px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color= : transparent; font-style: normal;">The lad I get my firewood from tells me= that this year forward he only supplies</div><div style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0= , 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, s= erif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">wood above 15 cms= - approximately.
