(57) Abstract :
The present invention discloses a portable solar dryer which established concept of the conventional solar dryer with few limitations.
It incorporates two distinct compartments, strategically designated for pre-treatment and post-treatment stages. This
compartmentalized arrangement facilitates a sequential and more efficient drying process, overcoming the shortcomings observed in
conventional systems. It would effect on the efficiency of the drying capacity. This method has the integration of three solar collectors
within a single apparatus. This ensemble comprises two smaller collectors complemented by a larger counterpart. The innovative
configuration allows for adaptable combinations of collectors, providing the versatility needed to tailor the drying process to diverse
load sizes and specific drying requisites. By dynamically adjusting the collector setup, the solar drying system optimizes solar energy
utilization, ensuring consistent and efficient drying outcomes under varying conditions. The primary function of the present invention
disclosed, the pioneering solar drying system exhibits adaptability in its design. When not actively engaged in drying operations, the
system seamlessly transforms into a functional cupboard, underscoring its versatility and resourcefulness.
