A comparative quality study and energy saving on intermittent heat pump drying of Malaysian edible bird's nest

This paper aims to study the influence of temperature and relative humidity (RH) during intermittent heat pump drying at 28.6–40.6°C, 16.2–26.7% RH, α = 0.2–1.0, and the comparison was made against fan drying (27°C, 39.7% RH, α = 1.00). It was observed that the effects of temperature and RH on dryin...
