Hybrid Dryer Apparatus: Design

Our project is to produce a couscous dryer, which consists of a hybrid system (gas + solar), that this cooperative could use during the entire year and most importantly during the winter. The suggested design is as follows: 

System Design

The suggested system is composed of three main parts: the solar, gas and drying room.

            Solar part: it is the main goal of our project as it uses sun light to heat up the 

products of the organization. It is totally solar energy based, and it is composed of simple and basic materials.

            Gas part: this is the part that makes our system Hybrid. It is the alternative way for the cooperative to continue their work during extremely cold weather conditions. Also, it is built by simple ideas and basic materials.

            Drying room: this is where the magic happens. This box contains a dozen shelves that can carry couscous or other products like medicinal herbs. The hot air in this room comes from either the gas or solar part depending on the temperature of the atmosphere.
