Abstract
This paper presents the performance of solar tunnel dryer to dry chemically untreated grape. Average air temperature rise in dryer was in the range of 20–21°C above the ambient temperature and it was almost constant in the dryer. The solar tunnel dryer of size 10 × 3.75 m 2 is in position to dry 320 kg of grapes from 85% (wb) moisture content to 16% (wb) moisture content within seven days. Developed solar dryer works at temperature between 55–70°C, therefore, there is scope for saving conventional fuel by adoption of solar energy-based drying operation.
