    The document discusses several advances in solar assisted drying systems for agricultural and marine products. It describes a double pass solar collector with fins that can dry up to 300kg of product and has a collector area of 11.52m^2. It also examines a solid desiccant wheel solar drying system and a solar assisted chemical heat pump drying system that uses a reversible chemical reaction. The document concludes that solar assisted drying systems are promising applications of solar energy that address issues with direct sun drying methods.

    ADVANCES IN SOLAR ASSISTED DRYING SYSTEMS FOR MARINE AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

    INTRODUCTION DOUBLE PASS SOLAR COLLECTOR WITH FINS SOLAR ASSISTED DRYING SYSTEM WITH SOLID DESICCANT WHEEL SOLAR ASSISTED CHEMICAL HEAT PUMP DRYING SYSTEM SOLAR ASSISTED HEAT PUMP WITH PHOTOVOLTOIC THERMAL COLLECTOR CONCLUSION

    DOUBLE PASS SOLAR COLLECTOR WITH FINS


    This drying system has capacity of of up to 300 kg. The main components are solar collector array, auxiliary heater, blower, and drying chamber. The collector area is 11.52 m2, the mass flow rate is between 0.05 012 kg/s and the average drying 50- 65 C. Problems faced by the people of seaweed farmers are raining days, requirement of large space for open drying and long drying time

    Under open sun drying conditions usually it take 10-14 days for it to be 10% of original weight. The solar drying system has been evaluated for drying seaweed. The initial and final moisture content of seaweed are 90% (wet basis) and 10% (product basis) respectively. The drying time is about of 14 hours at average solar radiation of about 544 W/m2 and air flow rate 0.06 kg/s. The collector, drying system and pick-up efficiencies were found to be 37, 27 and 92% respectively for 40 kg seaweed .

    SOLAR IRRADIATION OUTLET TEMPERATURE

    SOLAR ASSISTED DRYING SYSTEM WITH SOLID DESICCANT WHEEL


    Water based collectors such as evacuate tubes can be used as solar collectors for drying systems. It has the advantage of lower fluctuating temperatures and maintained a steady temperature throughout the process. The system has a drying chamber with a capacity of 100 kg and electrical air heater for use when there is no sun or to increase the temperature. The water flow rate of 8 liters/minutes was the optimum flow in the drying process

    SOLAR ASSISTED CHEMICAL HEAT PUMP DRYING SYSTEM


    The principal advantages of heat pump dryers are energy from the ability of the heat pumps to recover energy from the exhaust gas as well as their ability to control the drying gas temperature and humidity. CaCl2.2NH3+6NH3CaCl2.8NH3+6Hr The adsorption stage is the cold production stage, and this is followed by the regeneration stage, where decomposition takes place.

    During the production phase, the liquid-gas transformation of ammonia produces cold at low temperature in the evaporator.

    SOLAR ASSISTED HEAT PUMP WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC THERMAL COLLECTOR


    These two systems can be combined together in a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) energy system.

    CONCLUSION
    The potential of using solar energy in the agricultural and marine sectors have increased due to fluctuation in the price of fossil fuel, environmental concerns and expected depletion of conventional fossil fuels. Solar assisted drying system is one of the most attractive and promising applications of solar energy systems. Direct sun drying are subjected to many issues including availability of drying areas and exposure to birds, insect and rodents which has consequences with regards the quality of the products.
