Zusammenfassung:A dryer configured to dry agricultural or non-agricultural products is provided. The dryer may include a unitary source plenum that supplies air to compartments in which products are contained. Plenum conditioners may condition the air in the unitary source plenum through, for example, controlling the humidity, temperature, and flow rate of the air. Compartment conditioners may adjust the conditions of the air in each of the compartments. Thereby air may be efficiently pre-conditioned in the unitary source plenum, and then the conditions of the air may be adjusted to optimize drying of products in each of the compartments. Related methods are also provided.
