Abstract

The procedures for estimating the capacity of a solar drying system using arrays of double pass collector were presented. The drying system has been designed for drying of wet fish with moisture content about of 76% to 25% moisture content, for drying time of about 16 hours. The dryer has three major components, the solar collector, the auxiliary heater/control system, and the drying chamber. The blower is used for flows the hot air to the drying chamber. The solar collector was designed is a double-pass solar collector with porous media. The collector array consists of 3 collectors in series and 2 rows in parallel. The dimension of each collector was 1.20 m in width and 2.40 m in length. The estimated capacity of this system is about of 100 kg wet fish with 76% moisture content wet basis (initial) to 25 % moisture content wet basis (final) as dried product.
