Abstract
An apparatus is provided for drying hops having a gas distribution supply duct, a source of heated gas, and a blower. The gas distribution supply duct has an inlet, a manifold, and a plurality of serially distributed outlets extending from an upstream end to a downstream end of the supply duct, within any two adjacent outlets, each outlet defining a progressively increasing cross-sectional area going from the upstream end to the downstream end sized to realize a substantially equal volumetric output flow rate across all of the outlets. The source of heated gas is supplied to the inlet. The blower is configured to drive the heated gas from the inlet to the outlets. A method is also provided.
