Development of smart, low energy input heat pump drying for increased sustainability in organic food chain

The quality of a product and sustainability of production depend on the cumulative
impacts of each processing step in the food chain and their interplay. The future
generation of organic food products will depend on both. The Norwegian part of
the Era-Net Cofounded project SusOrgPlus has focused on the design, construction
and testing of a heat pump dryer running on natural refrigerants and the
development of smart drying concept for high quality organic products. This report
is summing up the main results from this project.
