摘要
A solar dryer was designed, fabricated, and evaluated for drying of large cardamom (Amomum Subulatum) at College of Agricultural Engineering and Post Harvest Technology, Central Agricultural University, Ranipool (27 degrees 20' N, 88 degrees 40' E), Gangtok, Sikkim. It was observed that on an average 55.7% of higher temperature was obtained in the solar dryer over the ambient temperature. A total drying time of 24 h (3 sunny days) was required for large cardamom drying in the solar dryer to reduce the moisture content from 75.6% (w.b.) to 10.1% (w.b.) compared to that of 48 h for the open sun drying to obtain the same level of moisture contents resulting in a net saving of about 50% of drying time for the solar dryer in comparison to the open sun drying.
