Design And Modification Of Solar Seed Dryer

Agriculture sector in India is contributing to Indian economy to around 15 to 20 % when data of last five year is considered. The products cultivated from this sector are mainly affected by the processing for preservation. The developing countries of the world are lacking with facilities in agriculture sector and there are several factors affecting agriculture.

Agricultural application of solar dryer is used widely in developed countries to preserve the vegetable. The preservation of many products from agriculture is possible with solar dryers. The solar energy is available in India in abundant amount. Use of solar energy for drying the product will be very economic. Authors have presented the design of solar dryer in this paper
