  • Abstract:
  • the dairy industry's demand for processing milk and milk products has been steadily increasing due to population growth, making thermal energy essential. Solar energy is widely utilized in dairy processing activities such as heating, steam production, cooling, drying, pumping, and cleaning. This paper focuses on developing specialized software tool to optimize the use of solar thermal energy in the dairy industry. An application software tool has been created in the python language using the pycharm platform to facilitate the integration of solar thermal systems for dairy, enabling sustainable energy solutions and cost savings. The software provides valuable insights into system design, economic feasibility, and estimation of co2 reduction. To validate the application software, a case study was conducted at Shimoga milk union limited (SHIMUL) dairy in Shimoga, Karnataka, India. The results obtained by the software perfectly matched the theoretical calculations. While the analysis is focused on the dairy industry, the software tool developed can be utilized for solar thermal applications in any industry.
