Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of variable solar radiation affecting the efficiency of solar dryers, especially for sensitive crops like basil leaves during winter.
- A hybrid solar dryer (HSD) combining solar energy and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) was developed, featuring an automatic air circulation system to enhance drying efficiency and accommodate varying weather conditions.
- Testing indicated that drying basil leaves at 60°C with a 90% air change rate significantly reduced drying time by up to 35.71% in summer and 35.56% in winter, while also improving energy consumption and product quality.
