Mixed Mode Solar Dryer

, 2022
Mixed mode solar dryer composed of solar collector and a drying chamber. The flat plate collector is the most extensively used solar collector for domestical and business motive because it is easy and portable format and required lots much less maintenance. The drying device uses most effective solar energy.
