Performance Evaluation and Drying Kinetics for Solar Drying of Hygroscopic Crops in Vacuum Tube Assisted Hybrid Dryer

Abstract: The present experimentation work discloses drying of hygroscopic crops under the new concept of solar-assisted greenhouse type dryer integrated with evacuated tube water heating system to control and maintain the temperature of the greenhouse environment according to the regulated flowrate of heated water in the drying trays. The dryer consists of an evacuated tube solar collector, flow regulating device and drying bed with provision for the flow of heated water. The power supply for forced circulation of sola… Show more

“…The usage of concentrators results in increased air temperature inside the dryer, which helps in decreasing the drying time. Saxena and Gaur (2020) introduced a novel solar-assisted greenhouse type dryer integrated with an evacuated tube solar collector to regulate and maintain the greenhouse conditions. It also consists of ow regulating devices, solar PV modules for providing forced circulation of solar-heated water, and a drying bed with a water ow arrangement.…”
