\n

Heat pump-assisted drying systems are highly energy-efficient alternatives<\/strong> to conventional thermal dryers. They are therefore increasingly attractive for industrial applications. Several companies are already demonstrating its effective use. See the case studies <\/a>compiled by the Annex 59 project team for the food, feed, ceramics and biomass sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

By recovering and reusing latent and sensible heat from the drying exhaust air, such systems can significantly reduce energy consumption and CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong> and, under favorable financial and regulatory framework conditions, also lower operating costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

However, integrating a heat pump dryer <\/strong>into an existing industrial drying process<\/strong> is a complex task<\/strong>. It requires a structured assessment of technical and non-technical factors such as e.g., temperature requirements, air and moisture balances, available waste heat streams, space and interfaces, control strategy, operating profile, or electricity tariffs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

To support the decision-making process, the Annex 59 team has developed a brief procedural guideline. It is designed specifically for industrial end-users<\/strong> and provides step-by-step orientation<\/strong> from the initial use case definition to implementation planning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
