Agro Fossil Free - Nyeste udvikling af soltørrer integreret med termisk energilagring og hjælpeenheder

General beskrivelse

Background/objectives: Solar dryer has reached a remarkable level due to its tremendous contribution towards the saving spoilage of the food, vegetables, spices and ingredients, marine products, and industrial products. The main objective of this review paper is to provide a general idea of recent development of solar dryers integrated with thermal energy storage units and auxiliary units. Methods: Various literature papers are reviewed to highlight the novelty of each dryer with thermal storage and auxiliary units. Observations/findings: The dryer performance, drying capacity, drying time, efficiency, exergy analysis, and material used as thermal storage are presented. Applications: Researchers/farmers may modify their solar dryer and integrate it with thermal energy storage and auxiliary units. This review paper will encourage researchers to develop a suitable dryer for various drying conditions, drying products drying capacity, and drying time.
