[0002] Dryers are devices used in industrial production and laboratories to remove moisture from materials. Their core principle is to vaporize the moisture by heating, ultimately obtaining dry solid materials that meet the requirements. Moisture usually refers to water, but it also includes other volatile liquid components.
[0003] Currently, existing solar dryers use traditional solar collectors as a single heat source, and electric auxiliary heating mostly uses resistance wires. However, the equipment cannot operate continuously on cloudy or rainy days. Furthermore, the resistance wire heating used for electric auxiliary heating has high energy consumption and poor temperature control accuracy, which seriously affects the efficiency of the work. To address these issues, we propose a solar PVT-assisted graphene electric heating drying device. Utility Model Content

Even without sunlight, it can continuously dry materials using electricity, ensuring stable operation. This effectively solves the problem of continuous operation during cloudy or rainy days. The graphene electric heating film provides rapid heating in three seconds with low energy consumption. Combined with temperature and humidity sensors and a graphene temperature control system, the temperature error is limited to ±1 degree Celsius, preventing materials from burning or drying unevenly. This technology effectively solves the problems of high energy consumption and poor temperature control accuracy associated with resistance wire heating used in electric auxiliary heating. By directly heating the air using a solar PVT system, electricity consumption can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, the graphene electric heating film only assists in heating on cloudy days, saving more than 30% of electricity compared to traditional resistance wire heating, resulting in lower overall energy consumption. The hot air exchange component, combined with the PVT water-gas heat exchange component, allows for more uniform hot air circulation. The graphene electric heating film emits far-infrared rays to deeply heat the materials, and the dehumidification and ventilation device enables rapid dehumidification, resulting in better drying effects.

[0025] In this embodiment: the PVT hybrid component 201 is bolted to the support frame 202, while the heat exchanger 203 is connected by a flange. The entire system is installed at a 30° angle to achieve optimal lighting.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the PVT hybrid component 201 in the solar PVT system 2 first collects solar thermal and photovoltaic energy simultaneously, and the generated hot water heats the air through the heat exchanger 203. At this time, the hot air is sent into the drying chamber 3 through the pipe 13 and auxiliary fan 12 of the PVT water source gas heat exchange component 9. When it is cloudy or the temperature is insufficient, the graphene electric heating film 8 will accurately supplement the heat under the control of the graphene temperature control system 15. The heat is evenly distributed through the hot air exchange component 7 and the hot air exchange channel 10. At the same time, the temperature and humidity sensor 16 will monitor and feed back the data to the system controller 14 in real time. Finally, the moisture is discharged by the dehumidification and ventilation device 6 and the exhaust component 4, realizing a highly efficient and energy-saving drying process.
