Abstract:-
Drying of agricultural products is an energy demanding process. Solar energy as an alternative source is becoming more popular, especially in developing nations, due to high costs, unavailability of fossil fuels, and environmental hazards. The utilization of clean and green energy resources in the sector of drying agricultural products has increased in response to the rising environmental concerns. Solar dryer integrated with thermal energy storage system is reasonably efficient for continuous and uniform drying of agricultural produce in the temperature range of 40 - 75°C which is requisite for drying most of the products. Traditional drying systems require fossil fuels; therefore, these dryers have become a natural alternative to replace it. For the last several decades, a large number of researchers have studied the use of a solar dryer to dry crops and food products. This review paper focuses on the important contributions made so far during the field of solar drying systems, and also the most recent advancements in drying technology. Solar dryers that provide drying during the hours when the sun is not shining have been specifically noted. Some different methods have also been considered, such as the use of phase change materials (PCMs) and desiccant materials to increase the dryer's performance and efficiency.
