Abstract
This work concerns the design of solar-assisted drying systems. The system considered is of indirect type where an air collector field is associated to a fixed-bed batch dryer. For a given system configuration, the heat savings fraction is defined. Partial drying air recirculation and the possible heat dumping are taken into account. The importance of the collector array is underlined. A simplified technique for sizing is developed with application to granulated natural rubber for fixed drying conditions. The development consists in relating empirically the heat savings fraction to design parameters by simulations.
