Abstract

A thermo-economic model of the heat-pumping drying installation with closed cycle and the bypassing of part the drying agent around heat-pump evaporator were developed. The model allows to take into account both thermodynamic, and economic parameters simultaneously by optimization of facility design and choice of economic modes of the operations. The solution of the equations system describing of exergy flows through borders of model and economic costs was obtained. The solution can be used for any steam-compression heat-pumping drying installation, which works according to the suggested scheme.
