Research work related to drying and heat pumps:
The Institute for Energy Systems (IES) of the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences conducts research and development on thermal and electrical energy systems with a focus on heat pumps, refrigeration technology, power electronics and decentralized energy supply.
Heat pumps and refrigeration technology are the main research areas of the IES. The research and development services comprise idea and concept studies, development of prototypes, laboratory, and field measurements of heat pump systems, low-temperature systems, as well as other special vapor compression processes.
In the past years, IES has conducted several industrial projects respectively case studies in the fields of heat pump assisted drying including textile drying, spray drying, vacuum belt drying, or low-cost fruit drying.
