Development of a Solar Copra Dryer Incorporated with Evacuated Tubes

Abstract

Open sun drying and kiln drying is the most commonly used method for drying coconut kernels in most of the developing countries. Drying under hostile climate conditions usually leads to severe losses in the quantity and quality of the product. They produce poor quality copra and also take time to attain the equilibrium moisture content.
