KAJI EKSPERIMETAL PERFORMANSI ALAT PENGERING IKAN BERBASIS PANEL SURYA
The great potential of fisheries in Indonesia and the problem of post-harvest fish preservation, especially to maintain quality and extend shelf life. So that conventional drying methods with sunlight have limitations because they depend on the weather. Therefore, this study aims to design and test a more efficient and sustainable solar-based fish dryer, in order to overcome the limitations of conventional methods. The working principle of this dryer is based on heat transfer, where heat from solar energy will evaporate water in the fish, thereby reducing water content and inhibiting bacterial growth. This study refers to literature related to drying, heat transfer, and the use of Arduino technology as a control system and DHT22 sensors for measuring temperature and humidity. The study was conducted experimentally by making a solar panel fish dryer. This tool uses DHT22 and Arduino Uno sensors to control temperature and collect temperature data in the drying chamber. The test was carried out for 6 hours for five trials, with fish mass measurements every 30 minutes. The data collected included temperature in the drying chamber, fish mass, water content, and drying rate. The test results showed an average drying rate of between 0.94 and 1.01 grams/minute for 5 days of testing. The efficiency of the dryer ranged from 15.0% to 17,4%. The graph shows a trend of decreasing moisture content and increasing temperature inside the dryer that stabilized after 30 minutes. The heat distribution inside the dryer is fairly even.
