Solar-Air-Technology
The function of CONA solar driers is based on the ability of air to transport larger amounts of water with rising temperatures (see picture).
CONA’s solar drying facility sucks in ambient air and warms it up in the closed system of the solar installation. The warm air, which is now able to transport large amounts of water, is transported in air ducts to the inside of the dryer. The warm air now extracts water from the drying product (e.g. fruits, herbs, wood) until the air is saturated.
A small amount of electric energy is only necessary to run the ventilators. The heating of the air is only done by the use of solar energy.
The core of the CONA-solar technology is the patented and certified (according DIN/EN/ISO 9806) CONA CCS+ air collector, which has been developed in an intense research process for years.
The key to the high degree of effectiveness of CONA air collectors is the special design of the absorber.
For every single square meter irradiation surface there are 5 square meters of heat exchanger surface to transmit effectively warmth to air. For that reason a peak power of 720 W/m2 can be reached.
A high quality and high transmission, safety glass saves the heat exchanger from wind, rain and hail. A long lasting and high permeability to air is granted.
Through the DIN/EN/ISO 9806 cirtification, the CONA CCS+ air colector is supported by several funding bodies and other financial backer. Make enquiries about your support in your country. In some countries you get more than 45% of support.
