Solar Air Drying Systems

FAQs

1.What is a Solar Air Drying system?

Solar Air Drying system is a technology that harnesses solar energy to heat air using special collectors made of glass & absorbers, for various applications, such as space heating or industrial processes.

2.How does a Solar Air Drying system differ from a Solar Power system?

The Solar Air Drying System is a distinct concept wherein thermal energy from the sun is utilized to heat atmospheric air. In contrast, the Solar Power system involves the conversion of the sun's energy into electrical energy.

3.Which is better: Solar Air Drying system or Solar Power system ?

Both systems have unique advantages, but a Solar Air Drying system, if adapted for industrial drying processes, would be more efficient, occupy less space, and be more cost-effective.

4.Is maintaining a Solar Air Drying system difficult?

Maintaining a Solar Air Drying System is generally straight forward and not very difficult, as long as you regularly clean the glass over the solar collector panels with soft water. Additionally, entering into an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) with your supplier can ensure the efficiency and lifespan of the system.

5.What is the normal lifespan of a Solar Air Drying system and what is the usual Return of Investment time period?

The lifespan of a well-designed and well-maintained Solar Air Drying system is approximately 15 years. The return on investment (ROI) depends on the fuel (electricity, coal, firewood, fossil fuel) that the Solar Air Drying system replaces. Generally, the ROI is less than 2 years if it replaces electricity.
