✦ Synopsis
Abstraet--A low thermal loss drying chamber is developed to replace the conventional coal-fired barn for drying of FCV tobacco. Experiments are conducted both on a conventional barn and newly designed chamber with the same load of tobacco by supplying energy from solar, coal and bio-gas. The experimental results showed that the heat utilization efficiency of the newly designed chamber is 60% whereas in the conventional chamber its value is only 30%.
