SOLAR AIR HEATERS:
|
|
Solar air heater is a device to produce hot air for any industrial or farmer
level drying applications by using freely available SUN, without using
any conventional fuels like electricity, diesel, LPG, firewood, coal,
etc., But It could be coupled with an existing conventional drying
systems like Tray driers, Tunnel Driers, Conveyor Drier, FBD drier and
bin drier operated by conventional fuels to save fuel consumption.
|
|
|
|
BASIC COMPONENTS
|
|
1. Solar
Panel
2. Air Blowers
3. Insulated Hot
air Ducts
The south facing roof of the factory could be used as a base for the
solar panel. By using existing roof structure, solar base will be
fitted above the roof. Above the base solar panel will be
constructed.

Capacity
: 25 m2 to 1000 m2
Energy
output :
10,000 Kcal/hr to 4,10,000 Kcal/hr
Temperature
: 400C to 1000C
Models
: Aluminium absorber & copper absorber
Savings
: 7 liters to 300 liters of Diesel / day (8 hr)
Life
: More than 20 years
Space
Reqired :
25 m2 to 1000 m2 of south facing factory
roof
|
|
|
ADVANTAGES:
|
|
1.
|
As Solar Air Heating System is coupled with the existing
roof conditions, there is no need of extra additional space and also
bottom of the solar roof could be used as a processing area and drying
area.
|
|
2.
|
It has a flexibility to combine with the existing
conventional drying system
|
|
3.
|
It is possible to control the required temperature to
improve the product quality
|
|
4.
|
As the Solar Panel is being constructed by the non-
corrosive materials it has a longer system life cycle
|
|
5.
|
As It has no moving parts except blower and damper
controllers, it has no major wear and tear
|
|
6.
|
Because of the lowest cost, pay-back period is shorter
some products less than 2 years
|
|
7.
|
System life is more than 20 years without any additional
maintenance
|
|
|
