Depending on what you are trying to do, ASAE (American Society of Agircultural Engineers) may have something. They deal a lot with crop drying and composting. ASHRAE Refrigeration is probably your best bet though.
Without looking myself before I answer, I would look for much of what you are seeking in the B&W publication "Steam-its generation and uses" mentioned in other threads in this forum. Do a search on this site to see where to obtain it.
