| Zusammenfassung: | The food industry uses up to 15 % of the total electrical energy demanded by the industrial sector, mainly in drying processes. This motivates the search for new drying alternatives that reduce the use of electrical energy. One option is solar drying; mainly indirect type solar drying, that uses flat plate solar collectors (FPSC). The objective of this work was to analyze the recent developments of the FPSC, their characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, efficiency, and the range of technologies used in conjunction with the FPSC to increase their thermal efficiency for solar drying. The FPSC have developed through hybridization with the use of other energy sources (electricity, biomass, solar), an increase in their efficiency, that increasingly turns them into viable options for food drying processes. |
