Heat pumps in drying processes

accounting for a significant proportion (10–25%) of industrial energy consumption. The basic principle of drying has remained unchanged for thousands of years: it is usually carried out convectively using heated air, which absorbs moisture and is discharged as energy-rich exhaust air. Conventional drying systems mainly use fossil fuels and release most of the heat they contain into the environment [...] reheated – with significantly higher energy efficiency and sustainability. Project goals This project investigates the potential of heat pumps for energy savings in various

potential of VBAs (Traffic Control Systems) raised in terms of energy self-sufficient and economic use. As a result, a simulation tool was developed that will be used for future planning. VBAs are usually connected to the public power grid. This type of energy supply is sometimes associated with enormous costs for the production and operation, and ultimately life-cycle costs (LCC). The [...] and carbon dioxide as a result of emission-free, self-sufficient energy provision.
