DESIGN AND OPERATION OF A MIXED SUN-GAS SOLAR DRYER FOR MANGOES IN WEST AFRICA

摘要：

　　Mango drying is used in West Africa as a preservative method.This paper presents the design and operation of a mixed solar-gas dryer for mangoes constructed in Mali.The gas is used as an additional fuel when the solar flux is no more self-sufficient.This study presents the design of the dryer with balance equations,its operation and the analysis of different drying trials analyzed separately with quality and economic considerations.It shows that this dryer has a shorter drying time than the most popular gas dryer,Atesta.The dried mangoes quality is particularly improved in terms of taste and color.
