In this study, the operating performance of the heat pump dryer using the PF heat exchanger was experimentally studied. The capacity, COP, drain, SMER and operating status of the cooling cycle of the heat pump dryer were investigated according to the temperature, relative humidity and flow rate of the indoor air. Heat pump dryers are refrigerant-air system. For the dryer performance experiment, an air enthalpy calorimeter was used. From the experimental results, as the temperature, relative humidity, and flow rate of the inlet air increased, the capacity, COP, drain, SMER of the dryer increased. The change in the performance of the dryer was most affected by temperature. The P-h diagram of the cooling system showed that the operation status of the dryer was greatly affected by the indoor temperature. In addition, the SMER of the dryer showed a drying performance of about 3.38 kg/kWh or more within all experimental ranges.

In order to study the drying performance of the dryer, the performance characteristics of the heat pump dryer applied a PF heat exchanger is applied were experimentally investigated. The capacity, COP, drain and SMER of the dryer were measured by the refrigerant charge and EEV opening. Heat pump dryers are refrigerant-air systems. For the dryer performance test, an air enthalpy calorimeter was used. From the experimental results, the heat exchanger performances according to the change in the refrigerant charge and EEV opening were the maximum at 0.5kg refrigerant and 30% EEV opening, respectively. In addition, SMER suggested a satisfactory level of drying performance. This shows that the refrigeration cycle of the dryer must be operated at an appropriate refrigerant amount and EEV opening degree to secure optimal drying performance. On the other hand, the time to reach the target setting temperature of the dryer was increased by about 2.5 times depending on with/without the sample.

하이브리드 감압 열펌프 건조기의 효과를 파악하기 위하여 건조된 굴 제품을 8주간 저장하면서 일반 성분의 변화와 글리코겐 함량의 변화 등을 조사하였다. 일반세균의 변화는 18~19×103 CFU/g으로 기존제품의 27~30×103 CFU/g 보다 안전하였다. 주요 지방산의 함유량은 건조기에서 건조한 시료의 DHA 및 EPA 함량은 L1-1, L1-3 및 R2-2에서 각각 17.87% 및 14.80%, 17.46% 및 14.38%, 17.89% 및 14.99%이었고, 반면 CD-1은 각각 15.41% 및 13.20%로 약간의 차이를 보였다. 각 시료의 유리아미노산 함량에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않아 1325.2~1360.4 mg/100 g으로 나타났다. 그리고 선도를 나타내는 K 값에서는 하이브리드 건조기에서 건조한 시료가 저장기간 동안 매우 우수한 신선도를 나타낸 반면, 시판 굴의 시료에서는 34.0~42.1%로 나타났다.

In this paper, we investigate how the power consumption of a heat pump dryer depends on various factors in the drying process by analyzing variables that affect the power consumption. Since there are in general many variables that affect the power consumption, for a feasible analysis, we utilize the principal component analysis to reduce the number of variables (or dimensionality) to two or three. We find that the first component is correlated positively to the entrance temperature of various devices such as compressor, expander, evaporator, and the second, negatively to condenser. We then model the power consumption as a multiple regression with two and/or three transformed variables of the selected principal components. We find that fitted value from the multiple regression explains 80~90% of the observed value of the power consumption. This results can be applied to a more elaborate control of the power consumption in the heat pump dryer.

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.
