Solar-powered banana oven with hybrid system

Abstract

The purposes of this research were: 1) create a solar-powered banana oven with a hybrid system, and 2) evaluating the performance of solar-powered banana oven with a hybrid system. The hybrid system was to use the principle of circulating hot air from solar energy and dehumidification by natural methods.
The equipment used includes the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller was a controller compatible with the DHT22 temperature sensor, 16x2 LCD display, 12V exhaust fan, 12V halogen lamp, and relay 4 Module. Temperature and humidity sensor will check the temperature and humidity value inside the banana dryer and send temperature and humidity values via the board to the LCD display and alert the temperature and humidity values in real time through the LINE application and can control the Relay via the Blynk application and the board will order the Relay was an on-off control the lamp and fan operation. The efficiency result shown that of the banana dryer concluded that the solar banana dryer with a hybrid method takes less time to dry the bananas than the average natural drying method for 2-3days. Assessment of the efficiency of a solar banana dryer with a hybrid system in the laboratory. The system can operate according to the specified conditions. It was set up to evaluate the effectiveness.
