Abstract
A solar collector, part of a drying system using solar energy as a hea t source, was developed and reported previously and used in product-dr ying applications. In this study, energy efficiency analyses of the dr ying system in terms of the collector efficiency were investigated. Th e results obtained show that the present collector used in this solar drying system is an efficient and effective unit for practical drying applications.
