Performance of a solar dryer [PDF]
A new solar dryer, which consists of a solar air heater and a drying chamber, was developed and used for drying agricultural products. The present drying system was successfully tested using sultana grapes, green beans, sweet peppers, and chilli peppers. Traditional sun-drying experiments were employed. The drying curves of the solar dried products are
