Depending on the application, thermal energy storage is based on materials that are believed to be capable of storing thermal energy and can be used at a later time. There are many applications that require thermal energy for heating or cooling; therefore, controls are necessary to ensure that the application's requirements are met efficiently. Researchers have conducted several investigations on thermal energy storage materials. The aim of this study is to enhance drying performance of conventional solar drying systems used for food drying by using novel temperature management methods. Consider the factors that lead to more energy being consumed during the drying process. In the proposed method, dry air is used as a coolant to control the temperature during drying. Furthermore, the findings of the impact are presented.
