Heat pump centric dryer
An innovative process with a huge range of applications brings together several proven energy reducing techniques. Cold hybrid solar panels, a heat pump with a double function, heat exchangers and energy and power optimisation combine in an easy to apply and easy to maintain process, which is safer and more gentle; lower temperatures and less cooling is required, and the process additionally harvests water that can be put to use helping new seeds grow.
The need
Standard drying processes consume significant power and energy, and are fossil fuel driven. To date, solar power has proved an inefficient substitute. A vastly better process is required that has a wider range of applications.

The value proposition
- Reduced drying time.
- Reduced energy consumption by up to 90% when solar power at its maximum output.
- Low fire risk, low fungus risk.
- Cyclical heating and cooling that optionally reduces drying time.
- The potential to eliminate CO2 emissions.
