Especially in the food processing industry it is important to increase the energy efficiency of drying processes in terms of organic products and sustainability. The potential of using a heat pump with R744 (CO2) as a working media to provide the thermal energy was investigated for typical food drying temperature of 50 °C at a relative humidity of 20 %. A dynamic heat pump- assisted dryer model has been developed and validated. The model was created with respect to heat transfer, pressure loss and flow requirements. The simulated results showed that a closed-loop heat pump assisted drying process has the potential to reduce the energy demand by around 80 % compared to conventional open-loop drying processes with fossil resources as energy source. Furthermore, the implementation of a bypass in the air cycle was examined to further enhance the energy efficiency of the system. Keywords: Heat pump, Modelica, simulation, convective drying, CO2, food drying 1 INTRODUCTION The process of drying is widely-used in all kind of industries and is a very energy consuming process. It is estimated that about 12 % of the total energy used in industries is used by drying processes (Strumillo et al. 2014), whereas the major amounts are demanded by the food and paper industries.
