Solar power generation in tobacco flue-curing room
ive the tobacco a sweet flavor (Sauer et al,2005). The drying or curing process of tobacco leaves happens when heat is distributed uniformly by the use of a heat e This paper discusses the
The potential use of solar energy to complement the heat energy requirement for small scale farmer tobacco curing in Zimbabwe is feasible and economically viable. According to design if a curing barn is properly insulated, wood energy required is 28MJ/kg instead of the traditional 32,2 MJ/kg to fully cure a kg of leaf tobacco.
Solar thermals collectors have an efficiency of 30%, compared to 15% for the photovoltaic systems, making them a better option for tobacco curing process. 4.2 Barn Parameters
So by implementing a flat plate air collector of a size 22m2to an insulated barn will make a contribution of 30.5% of the energy required for tobacco curing.According to this investigationit was shown that solar could be used to produce heat that could be used in the curing barn.
Air curing method– air is mainly used in the curing of cigarettes and burley tobacco, where tobacco leaf is hung in well-ventilated barns. The curing itself takes a period of four to eight weeks. Tobacco cured in this manner is low in sugar and has high nicotine content.
