An Automatic Hot Air-Drying Machine

Abstract

An automatic drying machine was made with the help of available material. The drying of clothes is an energy-intensive process, and a lot of effort is put into energy saving .Its efficiency was investigated with respect to how fast it was able to dry up the clothe .Hence a set of experiments were performed to determine the worthiness of this drying machine . Energy analysis of the drying process with special interest paid to leakage and the efficiency of the heat exchanger, identification of signals that can be used for calculating the remaining drying time .The experiments showed that the drying machine works fine as per its objectives .The main advantage of this system is that it can work all round the year, with a built-in auxiliary heating system. Also, with no moving parts, it consumes less power. It can easily be built with commonly available materials.
