Design and development of solar based incubation room for fermented dairy products
Author(s): IA Chauhan and AG Bhadania
Abstract: Incubation at proper temperature is a mandatory step in the manufacture of fermented dairy products. The basic aim of the project was to design and develop a solar based incubation room to maintain 40-42 ºC temperature using solar thermal system in order to replace electrical air heaters which are traditionally used in dairy plants. The use of solar thermal energy not only helps in reducing the cost of energy but also contributes in combating adverse effect on environment. An experimental solar based incubation room having storage capacity of 100 crates was designed for the incubation conditions required for the manufacture of dahi. The system was equipped with hot water generation, storage, circulating pumps, instruments and controls. The performance of the system was evaluated in terms of solar fraction throughout the year.
