In this experimental study, in order to determine the most suitable hole of the Food Drying Oven (FDO) door opening, which is designed, produced and managed by microcontroller, studies were performed. In four different scenarios, the hole of the cover was dried at 80 °C and the drying time and electrical energy consumption were determined. The obtained values are compared with time and energy consumption and the most suitable scenario is determined from four different scenarios.In this experimental study, in order to determine the most suitable hole of the Food Drying Oven (FDO) door opening, which is designed, produced and managed by microcontroller, studies were performed.
