Effective Parameters of Solar Water Heating System on Ceramic Drying

Article Preview

Abstract:

Drying is an energy intensive process. Through out all industrial processes, 15% of total energy is used for drying processes. Moreover, 60% of used energy is wasted for only drying for any industrial process including drying process because of using conventional drying systems. Since a few decades, energy decrease in the world has been forcing the industry to find new methods to reduce the energy consumption. One of these methods is the use of solar energy. Solar energy can be used very effectively for drying processes in case the system is designed and analysed properly. In this study, effective parameters of a solar water heating system on a predesigned drying kiln is investigated and the proper combinations of parameters of the system are determined according to drying temperature obtained.
