A solar assisted heat pump drying system for grain in-store drying

For grain in-store drying, a solar assisted drying process has been developed, which consists of a set including a solar-assisted heat pump, a ventilation system, a grain stirrer, etc. In this way, low power consumption, short cycle time and water content uniformity can be achieved in comparison with the conventional method. A solar-assisted heat pump drying system has been designed and manufactured for a practical granary, and the energy consumption performance of the unit is analyzed. The analysis result shows that the solar fraction of the unit is higher than 20%, the coefficient of performance about system (COPS) is 5.19, and the specific moisture extraction rate (SMER) can reach 3.05 kg/kWh.

Performance analysis of a heat pump assisted drying system

The paper describes a simulation model developed to predict the performance of drying systems assisted by vapour-compression heat pumps. The heat is used to preheat the air stream before it enters the drying chamber. Energy consumption is thus reduced, as the heat pump is capable of delivering more energy as heat than it in fact consumes as input work. Ambient air provides the heat source. A computer program, based on simplified modelling of components (compressor, heat exchangers and drying chamber) has been developed. Results have been produced for a typical application, revealing that a considerable reduction in energy consumption can be obtained with the use of a heat pump. The effect of air flow rate on system performance is also studied.

Performance assessment of contact heat pump drying

A comparative analysis is presented of a novel plate‐type isothermal heat pump dryer and a conventional adiabatic heat pump dryer. The energy performance and drying capacity of each dryer type is investigated subject to operational constraints on the maximum acceptable relative humidity and temperature of air passing over the product. The analysis demonstrates that for applicable products, a significant opportunity exists for improving the energy efficiency of heat pump drying, by a factor of 2–3 times compared with current adiabatic heat pump dryers. The moisture extraction rate is also increased in the contact heat pump dryer, by a similar factor. However, these improvements are shown to be sensitive both to the impact of product thickness on heat transfer and to the relative humidity constraint. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Exergetic performance assessment of a ground‐source heat pump drying system

In evaluating the efficiency of heat pump (HP) systems, the most commonly used measure is the energy (or first law) efficiency, which is modified to a coefficient of performance (COP) for HP systems. However, for indicating the possibilities for thermodynamic improvement, energy analysis is inadequate and exergy analysis is needed. This study presents an exergetic assessment of a ground‐source (or geothermal) HP (GSHP) drying system. This system was designed, constructed and tested in the Solar Energy Institute of Ege University, Izmir, Turkey. The exergy destructions in each of the components of the overall system are determined for average values of experimentally measured parameters. Exergy efficiencies of the system components are determined to assess their performances and to elucidate potentials for improvement. COP values for the GSHP unit and overall GSHP drying system are found to range between 1.63–2.88 and 1.45–2.65, respectively, while corresponding exergy efficiency values on a product/fuel basis are found to be 21.1 and 15.5% at a dead state temperature of 27°C, respectively. Specific moisture extraction rate (SMER) on the system basis is obtained to be 0.122 kg kW^?1 h^?1. For drying systems, the so‐called specific moisture exergetic rate (SMExR), which is defined as the ratio of the moisture removed in kg to the exergy input in kW h, is also proposed by the authors. The SMExR of the whole GSHP drying system is found to be 5.11 kg kW^?1 h^?1. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Wood chip drying with an absorption heat pump

This paper presents the thermal and economic analysis of a mobile wood chip drying process. The dryer was subjected to different operating conditions, which were studied in order to determine the optimal characteristics of the dryer in terms of energy consumption. In addition, the impact of the exterior climatic conditions on the dryer's performance was also evaluated. The performance of the dryer coupled with an absorption heat pump was modeled in steady-state conditions under different operating parameters. Finally the system's energy performance was compared to the performance of two other systems (a wood burning furnace and a waste-heat recovery system). The results demonstrate that single-stage absorption heat pumps are only interesting when the set point temperature of the drying air is below 60 °C. Otherwise, a two-stage absorption heat pump must be used. In terms of energy and financially, this type of drying is very costly. Of the three processes that were studied, heat recovery systems proved to be the most energy efficient and economic solution.
