Dehydration device

Abstract

A dehydration device includes a solar energy collection device connected with a water source so as to transfer solar energy into thermo energy which heats water that is supplied from the water source. A water storage device includes at least one hot water tank which has a heater connected to the solar energy collection device. The water heated by the solar energy collection device is stored in the at least one hot water tank. A heat-exchange device has a pipe connected with the water storage device, and an air delivery unit which blows air toward the pipe to form hot air to dehydrate foods. A windmill generates electric power which is provided to the dehydration device. The dehydration device uses green energy to dehydrate foods to keep proper freshness and nutrition. The dehydration device is easily moved and friendly to the environment.

1 . A dehydration device comprising:
 a solar energy collection device connected with a water source and transferring solar energy into thermo energy which heats water that is supplied from the water source;   a water storage device having at least one hot water tank which has a heater and is connected to the solar energy collection device, the water heated by the solar energy collection device being stored in the at least one hot water tank, and   a heat-exchange device having a pipe and an air delivery unit, the pipe connected with the water storage device and the air delivery unit blowing air toward the pipe to form hot air.   
     
     
         2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a windmill which has an energy storage unit for storing electric power generated by the windmill and providing the electric power generated by the windmill to the dehydration device. 
     
     
         3 . The device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the heat-exchange device is connected with an extension pipe which has an intake control unit. 
     
     
         4 . The device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising an adjustment unit which controls orientation of the solar energy collection device. 
     
     
         5 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water storage device has a return water tank which has an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is connected with the pipe of the heat-exchange device and the outlet is connected to the solar energy collection device, the return water tank is the water supply of the solar energy collection device. 
     
     
         6 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the water storage device has an auxiliary water tank so as to provide water to the solar energy collection device. 
     
     
         7 . The device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a control device to control temperature, humidity and management of electric power of the dehydration device. 
     
     
         8 . The device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising an enclosed space in which the hot air is located. 
     
     
         9 . The device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the enclosed space has multiple heat sources which provide thermo energy of different spectrums and colors. 
     
     
         10 . The device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the enclosed space has shelves located therein to which heat sources are connected.
