Projeto de desidratador de frutas com sistema de controle de temperatura e alimentação fotovoltaica.

Abstract

This project aims to offer the population of Santo Amaro City, a new form of income, being able to use technological innovations to avoid waste and generate income. This fruit dehydrator system is designed to have a temperature controller, solar panel, temperature and luminosity sensors, battery and Arduino in an induced dehydration system, having in addition to this system, it also has the presence of a system of natural dehydration, influenced only by direct solar radiation. This same project is configured to have a daily and night operation, having characteristics capable of recognizing cloudy weather, making drying efficient, avoiding the appearance of food and speeding up the drying process. Using Sketch Up Pro software, a 3D physical projection of the prototype was performed, exposing the characteristics and positions of all equipment. As a result, the expenditure for development is around R$1,323.20 reais, reducing the cost compared to industrial dehydrators.
