Abstract |
|
The present objective of the study is to design and fabricate a solar dryer with evacuated tube collector working in combination with a natural convection solar drying providing mixed mode system. The performance of the current study is been evaluated force convection mode of heat transfer. The study is done for drying of grapes with a capacity of 3 kg in the dryer chamber. Experiments are carried out in the month of May to produce raisins from fresh sorted grapes, with initial moisture content of 80 (kg per kg on wet basis) % to final moisture content of 12 (kg per kg on wet basis) % in 27 hours. Raisins produced from this system are tested for varies parameters to check its quality and found satisfactory results. The objective of the study is to provide a cost effective and economical method rather than the conventional and traditional methods of drying. The Dryer temperature ranges from 30C to 70C. |
