New Heat Pump System Being Developed To Dry, Dehydrate Food Products
Scientists at the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, led by Dr. Rosana Moreira, are working on a $3 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop an environmentally and economically friendly heat pump system for drying food and feed products. Traditional drying methods are energy-intensive and rely on fossil fuels, contributing to carbon pollution. This innovative heat pump system aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce industrial carbon emissions, and enhance product quality, representing a significant step towards sustainable food processing technologies.
