Abstract

This research aims to increase the maximizing used of water unit management in the Egyptian countryside, by connecting roasting unit with power source of waterwheel irrigation, and used the thermal energy that found in the exhaustting gasses as a source undirectly in grains roasting. And modify turnning unit to receipt the motion from transmission system of watewheel instead of electric motor. Study the effecting of different roasting temperature on moisture content and discoloration some grains (cowpea –bean). This system saved the consumed energy by 83.11% and saving the operational costs by 78% comparing to use roasting unit only or waterwheel only. Added to that the roasting process was increased the period keep of grains.
