밀폐식(密閉式)물 교환태양(交換太陽) 열집열건조장치(熱集熱乾燥裝置)를 이용(利用)하여 홍삼(紅蔘)을 건조(乾燥)할때의 집열효율(集熱?率), 건조효율(乾燥?率). 건조특성(乾燥特性) 및 제품(製品)의 품질(品質)을 각각(各各) 조사(調査)하였다. 건조기간(乾燥期間)은 태양열집열장치(太陽熱集熱裝置)를 이용(利用)한 것이 관행법(慣行法)보다 3분(分)의 1정도(程度)를 더 단축(短縮)할 수 있었다. 건조기간중집열기(乾燥期間中集熱機)의 최대효율(最大?率)은 14.42% 최저효율(最低?率)은 4.73%였고 건조효율(乾燥?率)은 집열장치(集熱裝置)를 이용(利用)한 것이 28.34%, 대조구(對照區)가 13.45%로서 순수건조효율(純粹乾燥?率)은 14.89%이었다. 홍삼(紅蔘)의 건조율곡석(乾燥率曲線)은 감율건조기(減率乾燥期)만을 나타내었으며, 이때의 식(式)은 $Y=50.7023t^{-0.4138}$이었다. 건조홍삼(乾燥紅蔘)의 색도(色度)는 관행법(慣行法)과 비교(比較)하여 더 높았으며, diphenyl picryl hydrazyl 환원능(還元能)도 같은 경향(傾向)을 보였다.
A closed solar collector drying system by water exchange was evaluated for the drying of ginseng. The thermal efficiency of solar collector, drying efficiency, drying characteristics and product quality were investigated. The drying period was reduced by one-thirds in comparison with typical method. The maximum and minimum thermal efficiency of the solar collector during drying period were 14.42%, and 4.73%, respectively. The drying efficiency of solar collector and control system showed 28.34%, and 13.45%, respectively; net drying efficiency being 14.8%. The drying rate curve of red ginseng showed only falling rate period, and its equation was $Y=50.7023t.^{-0.4138}$ The brown color intensity of red ginseng was higher in solar collector drying system than in typical method, and reductivity by diphenyl picryl hydrazil solution in red ginseng extract showed similar result to brown color intensity.
