An integrated solar system was examined and worked for drying chamomile during the summer season 2013 in Germany. The system consisted of collector, heat exchanger, reflector, main drying chamber below collector, additional drying chamber and supplementary electric heaters immersed in water tank. It could also storage of solar energy into water during the time of sun-shine and reuse this energy at cloudy weather or off sunshine time to raise the temperature of drying air inside the system. The capacity of main drying chamber ranged 32-35 kg of fresh chamomile and 10-12 kg for the other separate drying chamber. Air temperature inside the dryer could be maintained as desired range for drying chamomile using a temperature controller. The integrated dryer was operated about 30-33 h to reduce the moisture contents of chamomile from 72-75%-6% (wb) compared to 60 h to reduce it to 9-10% (wb) using open sun drying method. Nine mathematical models for drying kinetics of chamomile were tested to determine the parameters of the best suitable models for those plants. It is found Midili model was the best model to define drying kinetics of chamomile for the main and additional drying chambers in solar system. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
