Abstract

Two different types of solar collector for farm dryer- the flatplate type and the modified tubular type-were constructed and analyzed on their performances. The transparent plastic film, black painted galvanized iron sheet and black vinyl film were used for the cover and absorber of the flat-plate types. The simplified tubular type was constructed with transparent films for the cover and black vinyl films for the absorber Two elliptical iron rings were used to form a tubular shape through which air could pass. No remarkable differences were found in thermal efficiences between the absorbers made with galvanized iron sheet and black vinyl film. The average thermal efficiencies of the solar collectors were 42.8%(max.48.2%, min.38.2%) for flat plate type and 22.971 (max. 25.4%, min. 14.8%)) for tubular one. The empirical equations were proved to be applicable to the prediction of temperature elevation. The tubular solar heat collector was successfully applied to red peppers drying as a practical farm dryer. The drying rate was almost doubled compared to a conventional sun drying.

농가(農家) 규모에서 활용(活用)이 가능한 경제적(經濟的)이며 제작(製作)이 간편한 태양열(太陽熱) 건조장치(乾燥裝置)로 평판식(平板式)과 튜브식(式) 집열기(集熱器)를 설계 제작하고 이들의 열이용(熱利用) 효율(效率)을 비교 분석(分析)하였는데, 집열판(集熱板)으로 흑색(黑色) 도색 함석판과 흑색(黑色) 비닐 필름을 사용하였을때 이들의 열이용(熱利用)의 효율(效率)은 평판식(平板式)에서 최대 48.2%, 평균 42.8%였고, 튜브식(式)에서 최대 25.4%, 평균 22.9%였다. 평판식(平板式)과 튜브식(式) 집열기(集熱器)에서 일사량(日射量), 방향계수, 공기의 풍량(風量)을 측정(測定)하여 공기의 온도상승도(溫度上昇度)를 예측(豫測)할 수 있는 실험식(實驗式)을 구하여, 필요한 건조(乾燥) 조건에 따라 집열면적(集熱面積)및 풍량(風量)을 결정할 수 있었다. 튜브식(式) 집열기(集熱器)를 사용해 고추를 건조(乾燥)한 결과(結果) 건조조작(乾燥操作)을 수행할 수 있었으며 건조속도(乾燥速度)는 노천건조(露天乾燥)에 比(비)헤 2배에 달하였다. 따라서 튜브식(式) 집열기(集熱器)를 농가(農家) 규모에서도 태양열(太陽熱) 이용(利用) 건조(乾燥)시설로 활용할 수 있었다.
