Study on Experimental of continuous solar dryer with dessicant Cacl2 thermal storage

Abstract

These studies relate to Red chili dryers sourced from solar energy, the main objective of these experiements to analyses the effectiveness of desiccant CaCl2 at nighttime, so that they can be received by the community. The parameters that are used in this experiment are, Temperature and Relative humidity, temperature and humidity can be maintained. The initial weight of 0.61 kg in drying chamber 1 and 0.60 kg drying chamber 2, then placed in a different drying chamber, and the final result where a 0.61 kg with desiccant and 0.64 kg without desiccant. The result of these experiment with desiccant CaCl2 the weight can be maintained with constantly and drying chamber without dessicant can be reached 0.05 kg.
