Description:

Figure shows an open loop heat pump assisted fluid bed drying system (HP-FBD). R134a was used as a refrigerant. The system used for the study consisted of heat bypass coil for improving the performance of heat pump and hence the specific moisture removal rate in HP - FBD. Basic principle behind the heat pump dryer is it utilizes the dehumidified air for the drying. Also, the dehumidified air can be heated to any desired temperature for drying. The arrangements have been provided to control the outlet air velocity, temperature and humidity of the air.

Applications: Dehydration of biological and food materials.
