Resumo:We present the study of a low-cost solar dryer coated with insulating material on the sides and bottom, with EPS. To test the dryer, a drying experiment was carried out with a load of six dried coconuts. The choice of Coconut was made due to the fact that it is a cheap fruit and that from it it is possible to generate by-products with its drying. The coconuts were cut into several small pieces, weighed on a scale registering 1078.8 g and then spread inside the dryer. 3 reference samples were chosen and placed at the inlet, middle and outlet of the dryer. The rehearsal took place 2 days. The 1st day of drying had to be interrupted due to rain. The continuation of the test took place the next day. The total dough after drying reached 700 g and the drying efficiency was 81.66% leaving the coconut pieces with a pleasant texture, a good aroma and a pleasant taste.
