Abstract

The title of the project is „Design & Fabrication of Solar Assisted Drying Machine‟ where this project highlights about „Solar Heat Collector‟. This solar drying machine is used to dry the leaves. „Mas Cotek’ leaves are the material that needs to be dried in this project. Thus this project emphasizes on the solar heat energy that can be collected through a solar heat collector that was designed and fabricated; as well as to get a good heat flow in the drying chamber. The main purpose of this project is to design the solar heat collector that used to collect the heat and give flow into the drying system. A solar heat collector was designed and fabricated to achieve the objective of this project. The solar heat collector was designed based on the Z-Flow pattern that is normally used by some modern farmers to dry out their goods. There are a few findings in conducting this project. For instance, the maximum heat that can be achieved using this solar heat collector is only around 46°C while the temperature needed to dry out the „Mas Cotek‟ leaves are around 60°C to 80°C. Besides, all of consideration in designs selection of structure such as materials selection, designs selection also described in this project.
