[0002] A heat pump dryer is a new type of high-efficiency, energy-saving dryer, operating on the principle of a reverse Carnot cycle. A small amount of electricity drives a compressor, causing the working fluid to evaporate into a gaseous state in the evaporator, absorbing a large amount of heat energy from the air. Subsequently, the gaseous working fluid is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas by the compressor, entering the condenser to release heat and thus heating the drying medium. This process is continuously repeated, ultimately achieving the drying of the material.
