Evaluation of a cocoa dryer prototype using LabVIEW software and Arduino hardware Rincón Quintero, Arly Darío; Del Portillo Valdés, Luis Alfonso; Sandoval Rodríguez, Camilo Leonardo In a country like Colombia, food drying plays an important role in the extension of technology so that farmers improve the quality of their productivity. The objective of this work is to develop a system for acquiring thermodynamic variables, to establish the energy efficiency of a product drying oven, specifically for cocoa beans using Arduino hardware and LabView software. This research begins by establishing the variables to be measured and recorded by the DHT11 sensors, such as temperature and humidity. These sensors are connected to an Arduino Uno board that has an Atmel microcontroller, which captures the information from each of these. An algorithm was also developed that captures the temperature and humidity data and sends it through the serial port to the LabView software, in which the visualization on the front panel and programming in the block diagram have been developed, being viewed from the HMI (Human Machine Interface). For the experimental tests, 3,309 grams of fermented cocoa beans were taken, and dried for 36 hours, removing a total mass of water of 1,650 grams. The results show an energy efficiency of 10.62%, concluding that the drying oven that takes advantage of the residual heat of an 18000 BTU condenser integrated with the proposed variable system is suitable for drying cocoa beans. Despite this efficiency being low, it meets the objective of removing moisture from them.

Performance Evaluation and Effectiveness of a Solar-Biomass Hybrid Dryer for Drying Homogeneous of Cocoa Beans Using LabView Software and Arduino Hardware Rincón Quintero, Arly Darío; Del Portillo Valdés, Luis Alfonso; Meneses Jacome, Alexander; Ascanio Villabona, Javier Gonzalo; Tarazona Romero, Brayan Eduardo; Durán Sarmiento, Miguel Arlenzo The research evaluates the performance and effectiveness of a solar-biomass hybrid prototype for drying cocoa beans, which takes advantage of solar energy in the application area and the calorific value of the dried cocoa pod shell, performing a continuous drying in 36 h, reducing the time by 70% compared to traditional drying. The experimental tests of this technology were carried out in the Department of Santander in northeast Colombia. The equipment has a cylindrical mesh drum, coupled to a rotation system that rotates in specific periods of time, allowing a homogeneous drying of the almonds deposited in it. The electrical and electronic systems are powered by photovoltaic energy. The programming carried out with LabView allows to control and maintain the thermodynamic conditions of the air (e.g. temperature below 60 °C) of drying, guaranteeing the final quality and a humidity of the grain that varies between 6.5 to 7.5%.
