Solar dryers are devices that use solar energy to dry substances, especially the food. Drying is one of the methods used to preserve food products for longer periods. Different types of solar dryers have been designed, developed and tested in the different regions.
Principles, Classification and Selection of Solar Dryers
A comprehensive review of the fundamental principles governing the drying process with classification of the practically realized various designs and selection of solar
dryers for drying of agricultural and marine products has been presented. The classification clearly illustrates that the solar dryer designs can be grouped systematically according to their operating temperature ranges, heating
sources/modes and operational modes. It is difficult to have one single criteria for the selection of a solar dryer for a specific region or a product as solar insolation and other parameters change frequently with geographical location, however the general rules of thumb are mentioned to assist in making the final selection. The final selection is generally based on the available insolation rate, production
throughput, flexibility requirements, cost of fuel to run accessories as well as on the experience and judgment of the fabricator. As the solar dryer has a long life of about 20-40 years, the effect of a poor design can have a long-term impact on the economic health of the dryer.

The Application of Solar Energy in Agricultural Systems
Given that one day fossil fuels will end, a need arises to find alternative fuels. Renewable energy is considered an alternative to fossil fuels and nowadays it attracts much attention. Among renewable energy sources, solar is the most important because it is available in all parts of the world. Also, this energy source is used in various industries including agriculture and it can be used in cultivating crops in the farthest corners of the world. In addition, this fuel does not cause pollution, like the other fossil fuels. Using the solar energy can be active in all agricultural areas. That will definitely help meet the increasing need for agricultural products with the increasing population. However, it is known that the agricultural land has a fixed area and, sometimes, agricultural products cannot be cultivated.

Solar energy is a primary renewable energy source with the potential to meet
several challenges faced by humankind. Solar technologies convert sunlight into
electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that
concentrate solar radiation. There are two basic mechanisms involved in the drying
process of solar drying; are: The migration of moisture from the interior of the
substance to be dried, and the second is the evaporation of moisture from the surface to
the surrounding air. The solar drying system utilizes the solar energy to heat air and to
dry any food substance which is loaded, which is not only beneficial but also it reduces
wastage of agricultural products and helps in the preservation of agricultural products,
but it also makes transportation of such dried product quickly and promotes the health
and welfare of the people. So, the development of a hybrid solar-energy dryer using a
photovoltaic (PV) solar panel to power the heating element coil and charge the battery,
which had a storage energy system, was developed and constructed with readily
available materials market was proposed.
This report presents the basics of the solar dryer, and the Literature review
contains recent innovative techniques used for developments of different types like
direct, indirect, mixed-mode, and hybrid solar dryers are discussed from the duration of
the previous two to three decades. Also, a comprehensive report of the fundamental
principles governing the drying process with the classification of the practically realized
various designs and selection of solar dryers for drying agricultural and marine products
has been presented.
The dryer comprises a solar collector (air heater) with the baffles and a solar
drying chamber containing a rack of four net trays, both being assimilated together. The
air allowed in through the air inlet is heated up in the solar collector chamber andchannelled through the drying chamber, where it is utilized in drying (removing the
moisture content from the food substances or agricultural product loaded in it). Locally
materials were used for the construction are wood, glass, aluminium metal sheet, PV,
and net for the trays.
The hybrid solar dryer discussed in the papers in the literature review is a
prominent practical technology that can dry various crops under all weather conditions.
Temperatures in the drying cabinet can be expected to range between 40 to 70ºC.
Compared to traditional drying, the hybrid dryer produces a better quality product and
can reduce the drying time by up to 50 to 70 %.

Solar dryer
- 1. AN APPLICATION OF SOLAR DRYER IN ORDER TO REMOVE MOISTURE AND DIFFERENCIATING WITH SAMPLE DRIED IN OPEN AIR.
- 2. INTRODUCTION The concept of drying food inorder to preserve them is a very ancient technique. Drying in the ancient times was under direct sunlight . The drying technique which is developed in todays modern world is solar drying .
- 3. ……CONTINUE Solar dryer is an economic way of preserving food and that too using solar energy . No other source of conventional energy is used in this process.
- 4. ……continue Today where there is rapid demand for conventional fuels and the fact that it will not be available to us in the near future ,in that case the need and development of non conventional sources of energy is good for the future generations .
- 5. …..continue The solar dryer can be of great use in the developing countries such as military feeding and space food formulations etc. One of the main advantages of solar dryer over open sun drying is that it prevents the fruits and vegetables and other eatables away from insects and flies and also from dust particles.
- 6. WORKING PRINCIPLE The main principle of this low cost solar cabinet dryer is based on greenhouse effect where the solar heat is trapped inside the drying chamber and thus increases the temperature level.
- 7. …..continue It is a mixed-mode solar cabinet dryer. Here both direct and the indirect solar energy collected in the chamber heats up the food products. And thus removes moisture from the food stuff .
- 8. ……continue The more we heat the air, its moisture absorbing capacity increases. And hence it removes moisture from the food stuff.
- 9. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP The materials which are used to make the solar dryer are used in our everyday life .And they are found easily near our locality. Plywood, Hammer, Nail and glue, Wired mesh, Glass, Thermometer, Black paint.
- 10. …..continue
- 11. …….continue
- 12. OBSERVATIONS
- 13. ……..continue Illustration of one of the samples tested in the solar dryer is given below
- 14. CONCLUSION Solar dryer can be used as an alternative in case of food preservation . The people can make it in their homes ,especially in the developing countries where the energy demand is skyrocketing. It can be handy in times of recession . The food stuffs can be stored in this dryer and used for days
- 15. THANK YOU
