ANALISA EFISIENSI ALAT PENGERING TENAGA SURYA TIPE TEROWONG BERBANTUKAN KIPAS ANGIN PADA PROSES PENGERINGAN BIJI KOPI
Abstract: Coffee is a
commodity of Indonesian plantations which accounts considerable for foreign
exchange. Besides it, this effort involves the agricultural labor that quite
high, which is more than 96% of Indonesian coffee plantations is managed traditionally by rural
society, that are takes a long time to do it. To overcome these problems, so we
designed and created a dryer that is solar dryers tunnel type. The purpose of
this research was to determine the efficiency of the dryer. The dryer consists
of spaces dryer, Solar collectors and ventilator. These dryers operate using
solar energy and wind energy. In this research, the coffee beans are dried with
initial moisture content of 59% as much as 29 kg. From results of this research
obtained the efficiency of solar dryers tunnel type maximum 37%. The solar
dryers tunnel type assisted fan, coffee beans dried until moisture content of
11% during 16 hours (2 days).
