Solarisation of a seed drier in Mauritius
Drying agricultural food crops is very energy intensive. In Mauritius, much precious foreign exchange is imported annually for the sole purpose of drying crops in conventional industrial driers. The aim of this project is to investigate the technological and economic feasability of utilising solar energy to dry food crops. It is proposed to design, construct and test a solar system to be integrated to a conventional drier: the roof top, made of corrugated iron sheets, of the building housing the batch drier has been converted into a solar preheater.
