Effect of compressor speeds on performance of a closed loop heat pump drying system

Zhenbo Li et al.

Summary: The closed loop heat pump drying (CLHPD) system proposed in this study aims to address environmental pollution and high energy consumption in industrial metal parts drying methods. The compressor speed was found to significantly impact the performance of the system in terms of circulating air temperature, coefficient of performance (COP), moisture extraction rate (MER), and specific moisture extraction rate (SMER). Adjusting the compressor speed can optimize the drying process and efficiency, providing valuable insights for further application of heat pump drying technology in various industrial settings.
