A solar-powered heat pump dryer is a system that uses a heat pump, often in conjunction with solar energy, to dry fish, seaweeds, and other agricultural products to enhance efficiency and sustainability.

 

These dryers can handle significant amounts of product, such as an input capacity of 200 kg/batch, using multiple drying racks.

 

Studies focus on improving the drying process and maintaining product quality through the use of renewable energy sources.

 

This kind of dryer has the advantages of easy operation, low cost , clean and sanitary with limited space requirements.
