Description

Heat pump type drying machine and cold-storage room

The present invention relates to a heat pump type dryer and a refrigerated warehouse, and more particularly, in storing and drying agricultural, water, and livestock products, a separate drying chamber and a refrigerating chamber can be quickly dried and refrigerated at the same time. The present invention relates to a heat pump type dryer and a cold storage that can contribute to drying efficiency and energy saving by installing a main heat exchanger in a drying chamber of a pump dryer and an auxiliary heat exchanger outside of the drying chamber to prevent an overload of a compressor.

In general, in order to dry agricultural, water, and livestock products, it is preferable to dry naturally, that is, to dry the agricultural, water, and livestock products for a long time under moderate sunshine and temperature and humidity for drying.

However, the natural drying has a problem that not only the drying condition is greatly influenced by the weather, that is, the weather conditions, but also a lot of manpower is required and the drying time takes a lot according to the above.

In order to solve the above problems, various drying methods have been developed for the ease of storage or transport of agricultural, water and livestock products, and the refrigeration (freezing) storage method is a method for maintaining the freshness of agricultural, water and livestock products. It is becoming common.

In addition, since the agricultural, water, and livestock products are often stored refrigerated after drying, a drying and refrigeration apparatus has been developed to selectively dry or refrigerate a single warehouse in order to reduce the processing and logistics costs. It is installed by uniting the main components of the drying refrigerator unit on one side of the drying refrigerator, and the unit connects the air-cooled condenser and the water condenser in parallel between the compressor and the evaporator to provide the high-temperature / high-pressure refrigerant gas in the water-cooled condenser. After cooling and dehumidifying the indoor air with an evaporator, the air cooled in the air-cooled condenser is reheated and refluxed in a dry refrigerator by a blower to perform drying of the dried product.After drying, the water-cooled condenser and the evaporator are dried. By lowering the temperature in the dry refrigerator to operate the refrigeration.

However, the drying and refrigerating unit is installed separately from the water-cooled condenser to cool the indoor air, and the refrigerant gas cooled in the water-cooled condenser again cooled in the evaporator and then heated in the air-cooled condenser to select the drying or refrigeration function in one case Not only because the structure is complicated, but also because the drying and refrigeration can not be performed at the same time, only a single function can be performed continuously, which increases the processing time and cost.

In addition, as the drying progresses, a problem occurs such that the overload detector is operated by the overload of the compressor due to the lack of heat exchange due to the temperature rise in the dry chamber.

The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to quickly dry and store agricultural, water and livestock products at the same time, and also lack of heat exchange due to the increase in drying room temperature according to the continuous drying process. It is possible to prevent the overheating of the heat exchanger caused by the heat supply to the drying chamber by continuous operation of the compressor to provide a bottom pump dryer and cold storage that can bring drying efficiency and energy saving.
