Abstract

The basic idea of our project is concerned with the Performance investigation of enhanced solar dryer using
parabolic dish collector. In our project we will use Dryer cabinet, parabolic collector, Pipe, Blower, Thermometer,
Weighing instrument, Stand, Foods etc. Our main goal is to maximum drying rate with use of minimum energy. Drying
means removing moisture from the product. Drying is useful for preserving food products for long time. Conventional sun
dryer has several disadvantages like slow drying rate, dust accumulation, insect and rodent attack etc.To overcome these
problems, we can use solar dryer. There are so many research has been already done with flat plate collector. The
objective of this project is to investigate the performance of solar dryer using parabolic dish collector to evaluate the
enhanced drying rate quality, flavor of food product.
