Abstracts : Globally it is estimated that 84% of produced
grains are wasted. In India 20-40% of food grains are
spoiled, due to conventional preservation technique.
The preservation tech like canning, freezing, drying
etc are used in order to avoid the food wastage.
Renewable hybrid drying system may be optimum for
food preservations at low cost and will exploit at large
in the present scenario.
Proposed system of hybrid drying system is an
integration of solar thermal air heating system
coupled with air heating using suitable heating system
based on biomass burning to maintain continuous
drying process. Experiments are carried out for sun
drying, oven drying, solar drying using air heaters and
solar- biomass thermal drying.
It is observed that solar hybrid system using
biomass as a fuel for heating has reduced time of
drying maize. For only solar system hot air drying
time reduced from 72 to 33 hours and for solar hybrid
drying time reduced from 72 to 15 hours.
