Legume cowpea is an annual climbing plant, 2 to 4 meters long. The pod is droopy, how much it expands when it is tender, and the tender pod is used as a vegetable. The variety can be roughly white (light green), green, red and striped in color according to the pod. The seeds are reniform, 8-12 mm long; Flower and fruit in summer.
Beans originated in West Africa, and China is the secondary origin center. There are records of cowpea (i.e., cowpea) in the Tujing Materia Medica of the Northern Song Dynasty, and poems about cowpea by Su Shi. In the Ming Dynasty, cowpea was recorded in various books such as Benmin Tuzuan and Compendia of Materia Medica, showing that cowpea was widely cultivated in the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, cowpea is cultivated in tropical and temperate areas of Africa and Asia. Beans are heat-resistant vegetables, resistant to high temperature, not resistant to frost, seeds in 25~35℃, germination faster, need good sunshine during flowering and pod, otherwise it will cause falling flowers and pods; The adaptability of bean roots to soil is wide, but it is better to have fertile, well-drained and breathable soil.
Beans are rich in protein and a small amount of carotene, vitamin B and vitamin C, is a vegetable with high nutritional value, so beans are also known as “meat in vegetables”, [9] the carbohydrates contained in beans can play a similar role to food, often eaten as the main course; Beans have the function of strengthening the spleen, stomach and kidney, the fiber in beans is conducive to reducing cholesterol in the human body, but also to strengthen gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation.
Cowpea provides easy digestion, absorption of high-quality protein, appropriate amount of carbohydrates and a variety of vitamins, trace elements and so on. Cowpea contains B vitamins to maintain normal digestive gland secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis function, inhibit cholinase activity, can help digestion, increase appetite. The vitamin C contained in cowpea can promote the synthesis of antibodies and improve the antiviral ability of the body.

Introduction to heat pump drying technology
There are many forms of Industrial Heat pump dryer machine, according to the circulation of the drying medium (air) can be divided into open circuit, partial exhaust gas circulation and closed circuit three, most of the closed circuit heat pump drying system as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Closed circuit heat pump drying system
The closed circuit heat pump drying system has two internal and external working cycles, that is, the refrigerant circulation in the heat pump system and the drying medium drying cycle. The refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs the heat from the exhaust gas discharged by the drying system, so that the liquid evaporates into vapor; After compression by compressor, sent to the condenser; Under high pressure, the working medium of the heat pump condenses and liquefies, and the released high temperature condensing heat heats the low temperature dry air from the evaporator. After heating the low temperature dry air to the required temperature, it is discharged into the drying chamber for recycling as the drying medium. After liquefaction, the heat pump working medium is returned to the evaporator through the expansion valve, and so the cycle is repeated. At the same time, most of the water vapor in the exhaust gas is condensed in the evaporator and discharged directly.
The heat pump part of the system takes the form of an auxiliary condenser. The advantage of this structure is that it is flexible and convenient to control the drying temperature, and the auxiliary condenser has a high heat transfer coefficient, and no special technical heat exchanger is required. In addition, if the auxiliary condenser is used to heat the outside air to pre-dry the material, the condensation heat with a relatively high temperature can be recovered, saving energy and improving the efficiency of the system. The purpose of setting the bypass in the evaporator is to make the hot and humid air through the evaporator better match the cooling capacity in the evaporator, and give full play to the dehumidification ability of the evaporator. At the same time, the heat load of the condenser and evaporator can be adjusted to make it better matched to reduce loss and strengthen the heat transfer of the condenser, taking into account the respective requirements of the heat pump and the drying unit.
Characteristics of heat pump drying technology
(1) Saving energy
Saving energy is the starting point for the initial application of heat pumps and is also the main advantage. Heat pump low temperature (15 ~ 45℃) when drying wood can save 40% ~ 70% of energy consumption. The optimum temperature for drying rice is 35 ~ 50℃. The temperature is low, but it requires a lot of heat. The efficiency of the traditional dryer is only 3% to 5%, and the drying efficiency of the heat pump will be significantly improved. The cloth has strict requirements on the drying temperature, and the heat pump dryer can not only meet this requirement, but also save about 50% energy than the traditional dryer. Heat pump drying technology can save up to 90% of energy in vegetable dehydration. In recent years, more and more researchers have also confirmed the energy-saving characteristics of heat pump drying units.
(2) Good quality of dry products
Heat pump drying is a mild drying method that is close to natural drying. The evaporation rate of the surface water is close to the migration rate of the internal water to the surface, so that the dried goods have good quality, good color and high product grade. The vitamins with low retention of aromatic volatile substances, poor heat resistance and great color change were obtained by ordinary drying method. For example, the gingerol retention rate of ginger obtained by a drum dryer is only 20%, while the gingerol retention rate obtained by a heat pump is as high as 96%. Van Blarcom and Mason’s tests show that even at 50 ° C, the heat pump drying of macadamia nuts will not appear the above Browning phenomenon, and can better maintain the original color, flavor and nutrient composition of the nuts.
(3) Drying parameters are easy to control and can be adjusted in a wide range
During the heat pump drying process, the temperature, humidity and circulation flow of the circulating air can be accurately and effectively controlled, and the temperature adjustment range is -20 ~ 100℃ (with an auxiliary heating device), and the relative humidity adjustment range is 15% ~ 80%, which is suitable for the drying of heat-sensitive materials.
(4) Environmentally friendly
Material drying not only requires improving product quality and saving energy consumption, but also must be environmentally friendly. Based on the same evaluation criteria, the global warming impact of heat pumps is small compared to the CO2 released by electricity. Environmental friendliness is the advantage of heat pump drying. At present, the application of heat pump to reduce CO2 emissions is advocated abroad, and it will be further applied.

Application examples of heat pump drying technology
(1) Tobacco drying
Aiming at the problems such as the quality of tobacco curing in China and the defects of current domestic energy-saving baking facilities, the research team of Hangzhou Zhenheat-resistant Equipment Co., Ltd. has developed a high temperature heat pump tobacco automatic drying system for nearly ten years, which has been promoted and applied in tobacco, edible fungi, crop baking and other fields. The equipment has obtained the national invention patent, and the thermal efficiency ratio of the testing equipment reaches 1∶3 ~ 5). The tobacco curing monitor developed by the company has obtained the national utility model patent, adopts the digital temperature sensor, the accuracy is up to 0.1℃, and has a variety of built-in baking “expert system”, and has the online adjustment function, which can realize the automatic control of temperature and humidity of tobacco curing under different ecological conditions.
Since 1998, this project has studied the main physiological and biochemical changes affecting the curing process of tobacco leaves and their relationship with the curing environmental conditions, revealing the essence of the formation of curing quality of tobacco leaves. The research and development of heat pump flue-cured tobacco drying system suitable for China’s national conditions, condensing and dehumidification of dense curing room and its automatic control equipment, the highest thermal efficiency ratio of about 5, stable baking performance, can effectively and accurately achieve the baking process requirements of the indicators, to ensure the internal and appearance quality of tobacco, drying 1kg of dry tobacco consumption is only 1kW/h, the process pollution reaches zero emissions. With China’s power supply gradually reaching a rich degree, this technology has broad application prospects.
(2) Drying of wood
Wood drying is one of the most successful applications of heat pump drying technology. Although drying wood with heat pump technology takes more time than conventional air drying, the significant energy saving effect and high drying quality make heat pump drying technology one of the main means of wood drying processing, especially suitable for those with high commercial value and difficult to dry “precious wood”. In recent years, Beijing Forestry University has been committed to the theoretical research of wood heat pump drying (1992, Zhang Biguang; 1996, Zhang Biguang), has accumulated a lot of experimental data and practical experience, and in actual operation, the energy saving effect and drying effect are ideal.
(3) Drying of grains
Grain drying is one of the main research and application fields of heat pump drying technology. The United States experimented with air/air heat pumps for grain drying in 1950. The actual field test shows that the water removal rate of the electrothermal drying grain is about 1.1 kg/kW·h, and the water removal rate of the heat pump drying grain is about 1.8 kg/kW·h, and the latter is about 40% less than the former energy consumption. At present, heat pump drying technology in developed countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany has been widely used in grain drying practice.
(4) Drying of tea
Using heat pump to dry tea, energy consumption per ton of tea is about 1250kW·h(equivalent to 0.45t standard fuel); Flue gas or hot air drying tea consumes about 1833 kW·h per ton of tea (equivalent to 0.66 t standard fuel), which is about 32% energy savings. At the same time, it can control the best temperature state, improve product quality, and prevent excessive drying of tea. Using heat pump drying technology, the loss of soluble tannic acid can be reduced by 1%-13%.
(5) Seed drying
The low temperature drying characteristics of heat pump drying technology are more suitable for seed drying. The relevant researchers used heat pump drying machines to dry corn, soybean, rice and Chinese cabbage seeds respectively.
Professor Ma Yitai of Tianjin University confirmed that heat pump drying is a good seed drying method through the experiment of heat pump drying seeds, which can ensure the drying quality of seeds, improve the drying temperature, reduce the relative humidity of dry air, reduce the initial moisture content, and shorten the drying time. When the dry air flow rate is low, the dry air flow rate has little effect on the drying rate. The germination rate and healthy germination rate of Chinese cabbage seeds are most affected by drying temperature. It is recommended that the drying temperature of Chinese cabbage seeds should not exceed 40℃. When conditions permit, the hot drying can be performed by intermittent drying with double drying chambers and lower temperatures, thereby improving the drying quality of the seeds.
(6) Drying of food
More and more attention has been paid to the application of heat pump drying technology to the drying of food materials. On the one hand, in the past, the drying of heat-sensitive materials such as food was generally freeze-dried, but the drying cost was too high; On the other hand, the drying conditions of heat pump drying are mild, the drying parameters are easy to control, and the products with similar freeze-drying quality can be obtained. When the heat pump dries food materials, the drying temperature can be adjusted within the norm of -20 ~ 60℃, and the appropriate control method is used. The heat pump drying system can achieve freeze-drying under normal pressure. Chua et a1. (2000) They applied the two-stage evaporation heat pump drying system designed by themselves, and set different drying medium temperatures according to different agricultural products, resulting in good product quality, and the loss of color and vitamin C in the whole drying process decreased by 87% and 20% respectively. In recent years, the application of heat pump drying food materials at home and abroad is shown in Table 2-1.

Drying principle of high temperature heat pump
Heat pump drying equipment is composed of heat pump system and hot air drying circulation system. The heat pump system provides high temperature heat source for the hot air drying system and reduces the humidity of the hot air. To supplement the lost heat of the system, the hot air drying system, through the circulation of hot air and direct contact with the material, to provide evaporating water heat, take away the water in the material. The so-called “heat pump” is an energy-saving device that consumes a certain amount of mechanical work, absorbs low-grade heat energy in the environment or waste, and improves it to become available heat energy. Just like the “pump”, a certain amount of mechanical work is used to raise the water from a low level to the required level.
A heat pump system consists of a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator, as shown in Figure 5-1. The working medium running in the system absorbs the heat in the drying chamber to discharge the hot and humid air in the evaporator, evaporates from the low-pressure liquid working medium into low-pressure steam, and becomes the steam of high temperature and high pressure by the compressor; In the condenser, the high-temperature and high-pressure working medium steam releases heat to heat the air entering the drying chamber, and the working medium itself condenses from the gas into a high-pressure liquid; Through the throttling device, the liquid working medium produces a blocking effect, reduces the pressure and temperature, becomes a low-pressure low-temperature liquid, and re-enters the evaporator to absorb the heat of the hot and humid gas, so that the low temperature heat is transmitted to the high temperature medium through repeated cycles, forming a heat pump cycle.
Figure 5-2 shows the hot air flow of the hot air drying circulation system. The gas discharged from the drying chamber is a hot and humid gas with a high moisture content. Its state is at point A in the h-d figure shown in Figure 5-3, and its relative humidity is about 70 ~ 80%. When passing through the evaporator of the heat pump, the surface temperature of the evaporator is lower than the dew point temperature of the air, which not only reduces the temperature of the air but also condenses the water vapor on the surface of the evaporator. It is discharged from the system as liquid water. The gas leaves the evaporator and becomes low temperature and wet. At point b in Figure 5-3, the relative humidity is generally in ψ=95-97%. The dehumidified gas is heated isohumid in the heat pump condenser, which increases the gas temperature and reduces the relative humidity at the same time. Point C in Figure 5-3 becomes a dry hot gas and enters the drying chamber. In the drying chamber, the dry hot gas is in direct contact with the material to be dried, providing the heat of the material drying, and also taking away the water. The air in the drying chamber is in the process of isoenthalpy humidification and cooling, and returns to point a in Figure 5-3 when it leaves the drying chamber. As can be seen from Figure 5-3, water △d = da-dc can be removed per kilogram of gas through one cycle.
From the above heat pump drying principle, the difference with the general drying process is that there is no wet and hot gas emissions, through the two closed circulation system, the water in the material is eventually eliminated as liquid water. There are two advantages to adopting this principle:
(1) Energy saving: in heat pump drying. The sensible heat and latent heat are recovered without discharge of moist and hot gas, and the lost heat is supplemented by solar energy, which only consumes a certain mechanical work.
(2) No pollution to the environment: Because the heat pump drying is carried out in a closed environment, no toxic and harmful gases are produced in the drying process, and the pollution to the surrounding environment can be reduced to the lowest level.
Comparison of principle of ordinary drying unit and dehumidification drying unit
The main principle of heat pump used in the drying process is to use the heat pump evaporator to absorb the heat in the outside air, or to recover the waste heat of the exhaust gas during the drying process, through the compressor to do work, the energy is transported (transferred) to the drying box, the hot air in the drying box after repeated cycle heating, absorbing the moisture in the material, cooling and humidifying itself. After hot air dehumidification or condensation dehumidification, the water in the material is discharged and taken away, and finally the continuous drying of the material is achieved.

- (1) Low energy consumption – the heat pump drying device can recover the sensible heat and latent heat of hot and humid air in operation, and the energy is fully and rationally utilized, which is a recognized high-efficiency and energy-saving equipment.
- (2) Does not pollute the environment – because the whole process of heat pump drying is carried out in a closed system, there is no need to discharge humidity to the surrounding environment, and at the same time, it will not discharge toxic and harmful gases. If the inlet and outlet system is completely enclosed in the pipeline, the entire operation will maintain a clean environment. This is a unique advantage over other drying methods.
- Good drying quality – the drying medium in the heat pump drying device is circulated in a closed space; It is not affected by external climate conditions, and runs smoothly under the same conditions all year round, so it can ensure the consistency of dry quality.
