Abstract
In many part of the world there is growing awareness that renewable energy has important role to play in extending technology to the farmers in developing country to increase their productivity. Solar thermal technology is rapidly gaining acceptance as an energy saving technology in agriculture application. This paper presents the degine construction and performance evaluation of solar dryer for foods preservation. In the Dryer heated air from separate solar collector is pass through beds of grains. The design of dryer makes provision for attachment of additional mirrors on two opposite sides of the solar collection chamber. Overall, the dryer is of simple design, cost effective and made from cheap available materials and required little skill for its fabrication and operation. The results obtained from tests carried out on dryer revealed that the temperatures inside the drying chamber and solar collector were highest when the sides mirror are at 45° C to the vertical giving optimum performance under various experimental conditions.
