The Anchovy Dryer Efficiency using a Heat Pump System
An experiment was carried out to evaluate the anchovy dryer performance using heat pump. We manufactured single stage refrigeration system using R22 and the dryer objects is frozen an anchovy. According to frame mobile method of the drying room inside divided at 3 drying rooms. After operating 13 hour machineries and accomplished a dryness experiment. The result which accomplishes an experiment, the dry condition which follows in frame movement of the drying room did not appear. According to the tray which is being put but in the frame the condition of anchovy dryness appeared different. It is concluded that the mean moisture evaporation rate is 60.7%, and the mean production of dryer an anchovy is 1.62 ton/day per dryer room.
