Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drying systems, in particular to a multi-energy complementary combined drying system, and also to a control method for the multi-energy complementary combined drying system. Background Art
[0002] The fruit and vegetable industry is an integral part of the agricultural landscape. However, due to the seasonality and perishability of fruit and vegetable products, improper post-processing or distribution often leads to spoilage, resulting in a loss of value. Therefore, methods are needed to improve the quality of fruit and vegetable products and extend their shelf life. Drying is a widely used food preservation method in the food industry, removing moisture from fruits and vegetables and preventing the growth of microorganisms, thereby extending their shelf life. Currently, the main drying technologies include hot air drying, vacuum drying, and microwave drying. Hot air drying offers a short processing time and high throughput, but suffers from low thermal efficiency and high energy consumption. Microwave drying can shorten processing time and improve efficiency, but it can easily cause charring in the center of the material, requiring precise control. Vacuum drying offers great versatility, but the initial investment is relatively high. Each drying technology has its own unique advantages and disadvantages when used individually, making it less universally applicable.
[0003] In 2020, the International Drying Association stated that the future development trend of drying technology is towards efficient energy utilization, improved product quality, reduced environmental pollution, safe operation, and easy control. With the country's advocacy of energy reuse, energy conservation, and emission reduction, the use of multiple heat sources for complementary drying has gained momentum.
[0004] Heat pump drying technology can save significant energy, achieve precise control of temperature and humidity, and ensure the quality of dried fruits and vegetables. Solar drying technology is clean, pollution-free, and has a wide range of applications. Combining solar drying with heat pumps can complement each other's strengths and achieve better economic and environmental benefits. However, in winter or in extremely cold regions, heat pumps can frost, reducing their performance. For solar-heat pump drying systems, relying solely on solar energy is insufficient for defrosting.
