20.500.12556/RUL-126450 Modeling of heat pump tumble dryer energy consumption and drying time The use of heat pump tumble dryers is nowadays more common because they offer huge energy savings compared to conventional tumble dryers. Earlier studies made on conventional tumble dryers have shown that parameters such as heater power, fan speed, drum speed, weight and initial moisture content of textiles and air leakage have a huge impact on the energy efficiency and drying time. In the present study, a modified commercial heat pump tumble dryer was evaluated for energy consumption and drying time by changing operating parameters including fan speed, drum speed, and mass load. The total energy consumption and drying time were measured and corrected for the initial and final moisture content in the textiles. The experimental results based on 27 drying tests were evaluated to develop linear regression models for energy consumption and drying time, which show a good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that a large mass load, a high drum speed, and a low fan speed give the highest energy efficiency, i.e. the lowest energy consumption per kg of drying load. Larger loads extend the length of the drying cycle while higher fan and drum speeds result in shorter drying time. heat pump tumble dryers energy consumption drying time regression analysis sušilni stroji toplotne črpalke poraba energije čas sušenja regresijska analiza true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-04-22 14:54:37 2021-04-22 14:54:38 2025-03-14 13:58:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 Str. 1396-1404 no. 11 Vol. 37 2019 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2018-10-08 2020-01-01 621.577:648.336(045) 0737-3937 10.1080/07373937.2018.1502778 16268571 RAZ_Gataric_Pero_2019.pdf RAZ_Gataric_Pero_2019.pdf 1 7ABA185E65ECEB7A167F0D999F2C2FBA e464d00015ef4f7254b5303b5ea4bf10ae57a4627697f2c34e8715d4e40a129e 592759a1-a36f-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=142426 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07373937.2018.1502778?scroll=top&needAccess=true 1 e67dc1eb-a369-11eb-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=142423 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
