Drying:

            Drying is one of the important and most energy consuming processes in the food processing, chemical, printing, fabric dying industries, etc.,  In farmer level drying is being done on open yards without any good hygienic conditions. 

THERMAL ENERGY

         Generally thermal energy, (hot air) is being used to dry the required products. Temperature of the air is maintained between 45⁰C to 145⁰C depending on the products and production methods. That energy is being produced by a conventional fuels like electricity, firewood, diesel, furnace oil, kerosene, etc., 
         The cost of the conventional fuel is increasing day by day, as the availability of the conventional fuel in the earth is decreasing day by day.

SOLAR DRYING TECHNOLOGY – SOLAR AIR HEATING SYSTEMS

           Using freely available Solar Energy (without any additional heating sources or with the back-up system) could generate the hot air required for the drying applications.  ATR Solar Air Heating Systems can generate hot air with temperature ranges from 40⁰C to 100⁰C. This hot air could be used for various drying applications.  ATR Solar Air Heating System could be easily adopted with any present conventional system to reduce the present fuel consumptions.
