Indonesia is an agricultural country and produces 1,075,000 tons chilli in year 2014,
including red chilli [1]. Red chilli is an important ingredient in daily cuisine in Indonesia.
It is consumed as fresh, dried, and powder. Red chilli is rich in protein, carbohydrates,
calcium, phosphorus, ,vitamin A and C. It can be used to prevent heart diseases by
dilating blood vessels and antioxidant [2,3].
..................................................................................................................
Banout et al. [7], reported the use of a double-pass solar dryer for drying red chilli.
Drying 40 kg of red chilli using this dryer, the moisture content reduced from
approximately 90% (wet basis) to 10% (wet basis) within 32 hours, while ope sun
drying took 93 hours

The variation of pickup efficiency with drying time for SA-HPFBDIBF and SA-FBDIBF are
shown in Fig.1. The pickup efficiencies were calculated in the range of 20.55% - 62.08%
and 23.69% - 73.40%, with average values of 33.55% and 43.84% for SA-FBDIBF and
SAHP-FBDIBF, respectively. As seen from the Fig.1 that the the pickup efficiency of the
SAHP-FBDIBF is higher than the SA-FBDIBF. This due to the evaporation rate of moisture
in the SAHP-FBDIBF is higher than the SA-FBDIBF.

The experimental results of drying of red chilli using a solar assisted heat pump integrated with biomass furnace was
compared with open sun drying and several types of solar dryers in references are shown in Table 1. In this the dryer,
The red chillies were dried from moisture content of 4.26 dry basis to moisture content of 0.08 dry basis which needed
drying time 11 hours, with the averages drying chamber temperature, drying chamber relative humidity, and an air mass
flow rate of 70.5°C, 10.1%, and 0.124kg/s, respectively. Meanwhile, the drying time in several types of solar dryers in the
references was varied from 32 hours to 50 hours. The results revealed that this dryer is better than the several types of
solar dryers in the references. This due to its the drying time is lower than the several types of solar dryers in the
references.
