Solar Drying Coupled with Solid Desiccant Energy Storage

William M. Miller

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT HOT air collectors coupled with solid desiccant energy storage were evaluated for surface drying fresh produce. Drying potential of either the dehumidified or heated air was expressed as a humidity ratio difference. Typical advantages for desiccant energy storage include: high energy density, extended storage capability, low cost and simplicity of holding containers and a comparable drying potential to heated air systems
