Research primary processing of live of silk cocoons in a solar installation

This article presents the results of research to determine the main technical and economic indicators of a new installation we have created for marinating cocoons with the help of solar radiation energy. The possibility of marinating cocoons both on sunny and cloudy days has been proven through direct and indirect use of the energy of solar radiation. The performance of the installation, the temperature inside the drying chamber and the time for complete marinating of cocoons were determined. On the basis of the data obtained, it can be said that the installation provides complete of marinating cocoons and the use of this installation contributes to 100 percent savings in energy resources spent for freezing cocoons
