Heat pump-assisted drying is an energy-efficient process because the heat is recoverable. However, the economic feasibility of the heat pump dryer (HPD) is debatable because high grade energy (electricity) is used. In this study, sawn rubber wood and bananas were dried in an experimental HPD. The moisture extraction rates (MER) and the specific moisture extraction rates (SMER) of wood drying and banana drying decreased rapidly with the drying time but the compressor power was relatively constant. If the final moisture content of wood is less than 10%, the maximum average MER and SMER were 2.854 kg/h and 0.572 kg/kWh, respectively. Banana drying yielded the highest average MER of 2.710 kg/h when the drying load was highest. The corresponding SMER was 0.540 kg/kWh. Economic analyses among the HPD, an electrically-heated hot air dryer and a direct-fired dryer revealed that the HPD had the lowest operating cost. |
