Abstract

In the current paper presented investigations of the developed mixed-mode forced convection solar drier (SD). Developed design of the unit can be used as a greenhouse in winter time and as a solar drier during of the other times of the year. Studied of the technical parameters of the system by using of the developed mathematical model of operation mode. The model was developed in parallel with experimental work. 1 The article is published in the original.
