Application of solar energy in drying processes

This paper presents the results of the study of three basic types of fossil fueled drying processes in comparison with the same processes using solar energy input based on solar data in Croatia. When using fossil fuel energy, savings could be approx. 27–29%. With solar energy input, the fossil fuel...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of the study of three basic types of fossil fueled drying processes in comparison with the same processes using solar energy input based on solar data in Croatia. When using fossil fuel energy, savings could be approx. 27–29%. With solar energy input, the fossil fuel savings could be 14.6–100%, depending on the period of the year.
