Abstract
The solar energy research group from Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has designed and constructed solar assisted drying systems for drying agricultural and marine products. This study is a review of numerous types of solar dryer systems developed by SERI, UKM. The classification of solar drying systems has divided by two namely air based solar collector systems and water based solar collector systems. Drying with solar assisted drying systems was found to be a viable option with many benefits such as protected drying environment, improved dried quality of products and reduces drying time compared with the traditional sun drying method. Therefore, SERI’s solar assisted drying system shows a great potential for application in drying process of agricultural and marine products.
Highlights
Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) was established on 1st July 2005. It was formed out of the desire to substitute the use of fossil fuel, which is known to produce environmental pollution and global warming
We focus on solar drying systems that a part of solar thermal
The air was flowed through the drying system solar collector systems
Summary
This custom designed parallel pump dryer, solar dryer using dehumidification system flow V-groove type collector was used in this drying and solar assisted desiccant dryer are used water based system. The air was flowed through the drying system solar collector systems.
