Double pass solar heat collector will be developed to improve the performance of the solar heat collector and to achieve the objectives. From the previous study of UMS Eco-Solar dryer, the maximum temperature it can reach is up to 60oC. However, some crops may require a higher temperature to retain the properties and structure of the crops. This study will be different between the two types of material in two types of design. The material will be aluminium and copper. T he time for the fluid movement from the inlet to the outlet needs to be increased. It is to make sure the absorption of solar radiat...
