Abstract
Recent research has shown that heat
pump drying is an efficient method of drying for
drying industries. Applications of heat pump dryers
provide high energy efficiency with controllable air
flow, air humidity, temperature, and have
significant energy-saving potential. They deliver
more heat energy during the drying process than
the work input to the compressor. There are many
traditional methods of drying agricultural produce
such as direct or indirect sunlight, wood burning,
electrical heating, fossil fuel burning, and diesel
engine heating. The heat pump drying method is
more advanced than the traditional Nigeria’s
industrial and agricultural drying methods. As a
result of high increases in fossil fuel prices, failed
electricity projects, in Nigeria resulting from the
political problems associated with crude oil
production, as well as the problem of
environmental pollution due to emissions,
green energy, energy saving and energy efficiency
are imperative.
