Design and Thermal Analysis of an Air Source Heat Pump Dryer for Food Drying

In this study, an experimental heat pump dryer was designed. The specific moisture extraction rate and moisture extraction rate were used as performance indicators to explore the influence of environmental factors and the style of the hot air cycle on heat pump drying. The average temperature and hu...
