Direct solar dryer
(2023) In 1 MVKL01 20231Department of Energy Sciences
- Abstract
- The study presents the design, construction, and performance evaluation of a direct solar dryer
with a focus on enhancing the post-harvest preservation of fruits. The increasing demand for the
dry fruits in both the local and export markets demand effective and environmentally friendly
drying methods. Conventional sun-drying (open air drying) techniques are labor-intensive, time
consuming, and subjected to contamination. To overcome these difficulties, a direct solar dryer
that is affordable was designed in this research. - Popular Abstract
- Using light as energy, the Direct Solar Dryer effectively and environmentally dries a wide range of materials, including clothes and agricultural products. This environmentally friendly drier uses direct sunlight to save energy use and lessens the need for traditional drying techniques. Because of its simple construction, it is affordable and suitable for communities looking for green drying solutions. The Direct Solar Dryer, which harnesses solar energy, offers a viable way to improve agricultural methods and encourage environmentally friendly drying alternatives."
