It was found that the drying time of the red pepper dried by the dryer was shorted by 6 h than that of dried under OSD, when the water content of the material decreased to 16%; For the grape drying, the operation time was shorted by 26 h when the water content decreased to 18%. Moreover, the payback period of the solar dryer was 1.6 years.
For example, in addition to solar energy, other renewable energy sources like biomass energy and wind energy are gradually used in the drying domain to further improve the performance of solar dryers. Furthermore, thermal energy storage technology is also an efficient method to enhance the performance of solar dryers.
From energy analysis, the maximal efficiencies of direct, indirect and mixed solar dryers are 51.87%, 55.3% and 41.5%, respectively. For hybrid solar dryers integrated with electrical heating, thermal energy storage, biomass and wind energy, the maximal efficiencies are 27.66%, 28.63%, 34.5% and 31.5%, respectively.
Lakshmi, Muthukumar, and Nayak (12) conducted experimental investigation on active solar dyers integrated with TES materials for drying black pepper, in which it was reported that drying reduced moisture contents and improved protein, fiber, ash, carbohydrate, and fat concentrations in the dried as compared to fresh products.
There are various constructions of solar-electric dryers, which are mainly composed of a solar collector, drying chamber and electric heater, as shown in Fig. 6. The solar collector is the main heat source used to dry materials. During sunny days, the solar collector can supply needed heat energy.
This review study comprehensively examines evacuated solar tube dryers, biomass dryers, and hybrid solar dryers used for food product drying. The dryers’ design, performance, and specific modifications are critically discussed. The analysis leads to the following main conclusions:
