Abstract

Agriculture is the main source of livelihood in India. Drying particularly of crops is an important human activity and globally the use of dried products is widespread. For preservation, quality improvement and processing purposes, moisture must often be removed from both organic and inorganic materials. Sun drying and mechanical dehydration using fossil fuels are the most common technologies used, Sun drying is a low-cost drying method but the final quality is variable, while mechanical dehydration is an energy intensive process and contributes substantially to energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The solar dryer consists of flat plate collector, a blower with pipe connections, and vortex circulating bed. The blower is used to circulate the hot air from the collector to the bed and Vortex-Circulating bed of the solar dryer is circulating while drying chilies that are present in it.
