Solar dehydrator: fruit dryer, solar energy Bashny.Net

Someone probably thought — what a curiosity. Meanwhile, many gardeners are faced with the question of preserving berries and fruits grown on their plots. Of course, most of us do of the workpiece in canned form.But there are cases when fruits or berries to be dried for further storage.And here we come to the aid dryer.
 



However, please note. If you are in the same "YouTube" give the word "Dehydrator" in Russian will give you a myriad of video clips with a variety of electric and gas dryers. We have artificially pushed to depend on electricity to spending money on the purchase of household appliances. But once you ask, the same word "Dehydrator" English as the English-language part of the "YouTube" will give you dozens of clips with improvised designs of solar dryers. You'll be surprised how diverse these designs.

Unlike us, the entire Western world is actively trying to use the endless solar energy. The residents of private homes doing a variety of dryers, which are popular.

For what need dehydrator? It is possible to dry almost everything. Apples, pears, plums, strawberries, herbs and leaves for tea, vegetables and root vegetables. The same strawberries, or the roots. All that can be cut into slices or to lay down a small layer. But, more importantly, it does not need any electricity or money.
 



Let's see how the dehydrator. We will not consider the very complex designs or very primitive. Take a look at classic dehydrator with a solar panel.

The frame of the dehydrator consists of bars. Typically use bar 50*40mm or 40*40 mm. the Frame is fairly simple and does not require much knowledge to create. The width and depth it is at the discretion of the master. Usually it is 500 — 600 mm, depending on your desire.

The height of the ridge of the roof about 2 — 2.2 m. Above do not make sense, it would be inconvenient to maintain.

The inside of the frame stuffed reechki for sliding mesh shelves. Outside the dehydrator can be clad with clapboard or plywood. Some just covered with black tape. But in my opinion, it is better not to use polymers.

Mesh shelves cobble together from bar 20*30 mm, covered any mesh you have.

Dehydrator make the rear swing door. And from the front side at the bottom make propyl for solar panels.

It is made also austere. This is a common box covered with glass and painted the inside with black paint. The top and bottom of the box is drilled for the passage of air. The sun heats the panel through the glass and the air from it begins to rise.

Many craftsmen are installing solar panels inside tube of the usual beer cans with drilled bottom. They are glued between the tube and the same paint in black. The air in these tubes is heated faster and rises faster in the dryer.

Also, there are craftsmen that connects to solar panel fans. This will accelerate the movement of hot air but requires a supply of electricity. Making the solar dehydrator electric aircraft with solar heating. Not to say that it's bad, but a dehydrator without supervision will not leave. And besides, this is costly as the fans and electricity. Perhaps such a decision is justified if you have a solar panel that can be installed on the dehydrator. But you will agree, this is a slightly different design.
