Research on the characteristics of a novel solar drying system and its application

In this paper, a novel device is designed to connect with solar energy collector, and it can also be connected to domestic solar water heater to effectively use excess energy of the solar water heater. The device mainly consists of insulation shell, good heat transfer system, ventilation system, drainage system, temperature humidity control system, ultraviolet radiation sterilization disinfection system and some auxiliary systems. Compared with the published patents, this device just needs a small area, and it can work under a complete indoor situation of natural environment. It is installed with ultraviolet disinfection lights and hollowed aromatherapy box, so it may sterilize clothes and fresh the air during drying clothes so as to achieve better results than clothes are dried outside of the window. This device may be effectively applied to lots of occasions, such as families, hotels, schools and so on. It shows high practical value and social economic benefits.
