Abstract
The research aims to study the drying techniques for Tha Uthen pineapples, which is a locally renowned fruit of the Tha Uthen district in Nakhon Phanom province, by using a combined drying method integrating solar and infrared energy. This method is controlled by a fan moisture extraction system through the Internet of Things (IOT). The experimental procedure involved solar drying from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During solar drying processing, solar energy was captured by solar cells and stored as electrical energy for use in infrared (IR) drying techniques at night from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The results showed that the drying process controlled by the IOT system promoted a higher temperature in the drying chamber compared to the uncontrolled system. Additionally, the use of infrared in conjunction with solar drying helped increase the drying rate and reduced the drying time significantly.
