The drying system was analysed in regards to changes in ambient temperature (0–30°C) and drying air temperature (75–105°C). The energy efficiency of the system was in the range of 80.79%–88.24% and the exergy efficiency was in the range of 15.88%–41.94%. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that the drying conditions with the highest efficiency values were at 0°C outdoor temperature and 75°C drying air.
