Heat Pump-Assisted Dryers: Optimum Sizing, Design, and Operation Rules identifies the optimum sizing, operation, and control strategies for hot air convective batch driers coupled with air-to-air mechanical vapor compression heat pumps. It evaluates the energy requirements, most efficient operation and control methods, drying performances, and environmental issues and considerations.

Covering the physical drying process of porous solid materials (fruits, vegetables, and wood), the book discusses heat conduction and moisture migration. It investigates the optimum coupling of thermodynamic systems, examining unproved drying techniques and combining solar energy and heat pump-assisted dryers. The book explores future R&D needs, including advanced drying technologies, low GWP refrigerants, and process integration.

This book is an essential resource for professionals working with heat pumps, industrial process engineers, manufacturers, and academic researchers studying advances in drying technologies and processes.

Vasile Minea is a Ph.D. graduate of Bucharest Technical Construction University,
Romania. He worked as university professor for over 15 years, teaching courses in
hydraulic/fluid and HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning) systems for
civil, agricultural, and industrial processes and buildings, as well as thermodynamics,
heat transfer, and refrigeration. From 1987, Dr. Minea worked for more than
30 years as a scientist researcher at the Hydro-Quebec Research Institute, Laboratory
of Energy Technologies in Quebec, Canada. His research activity mainly focused on
industrial refrigeration and heat pumps, heat recovery technologies in large-scale
commercial/institutional HVAC systems, and various industrial processes (such as
heat pump-assisted drying), low- and medium-temperature geothermal heat pumps,
and medium-enthalpy power generation cycles. During this period, Dr. Minea collaborated
with the Canadian and American heat pump industry and R&D drying
community in developing laboratory- and industrial-scale experimental heat pumpassisted
drying systems.
