Design of curcuma chips dryer by utilizing the waste heat of commercial refrigerator condenser

[摘要] Curcuma is one of herb plant and also ingredients for cosmetic products. Curcuma can be dried by other heat source like the waste heat of commercial refrigerator condenser. The results showed the enthalpy heat the refrigerator condenser with the addition of fan is 96,53 kJ kg-1 and potential value is 5281,704kJ hours-1. The capacity of the 2,4 kg day-1 with drying time 24 hour. Water content reach 8,26%.
