“…The results showed that increasing the cylinder volume of the compressor by 50% decreases the drying time by 14% without using more electricity. Erdem and Heperkan [5] and Mancini et al [6] investigated effects of using CO 2 as a refrigerant in a heat pump dryer. Tests performed on a prototype showed negligible decrease in the electric power consumption and a 9% increase in the cycle time, compared with the reference R134a heat pump dryer [6].…”

“…Experiments in this study were designed to measure and model drying kinetics in the drum and did not provide relevant data for analysis of energy performance. However, the developed relations should enable improved modeling of the complete tumble dryer cycle, including the heat pump process, which has a decisive influence on the energy efficiency of the complete system [19,20].…”

“…Benefits of including a heat pump to the dryer have been first calculated by Braun et al [18]. A more recent paper by pump tumble dryers were recently also investigated by Erdem and Heperkan [20], who modelled effects of using CO 2 as a refrigerant, and Ganjehsarabi et al [21], who conducted an exergoeconomic analysis of the dryer.…”

“…The results indicated that R152a might be a potential option for heat pump dryers considering environmental safety (low GWP), performance, and personal safety (low flammability). Erdem and Heperkan (2014) numerically investigated the CO 2 HPD for clothes drying and showed that the optimum condition of operating parameters is exceptionally effective in decreasing the energy consumed and drying time. Bellomare and Minetto (2015) reported an experimental analysis of R290 and R441A as drop‐in replacements for R407C in a heat pump tumble dryer.…”
