Abstract
The drying process in the textile industry is an expensive and laborious
process that requires a lot of energy. The main purpose of the drying
process is to provide maximum energy saving and energy efficiency at minimum
time and cost without compromising the quality and structural properties of
the material used. Since heat pumps are devices that can produce more heat
compared to the work they consume, energy consumption substantially reduce
is important. In drying processes, which are widely used in agriculture and
textile industry in our country. It is important to use a heat pump in terms
of energy saving. In this study, wool drying process in a heat-pump-assisted
dryer was investigated with fuzzy logic metods. The test material used was
wet wool, which is a fibrous material. The air velocities at the inlet of
the dryer were varied from 0.8 m/s to 1.5 m/s, while the material loading
ratio (material/dryer volume) ranged from 0.5 to 2.5. The temperature at the
inlet of the dryer were varied from 40?C to 90?C. In this study, a fuzzy
model was created to determine the effect of time, temperature, loading
ratio and air velocity on the drying rate by using the fuzzy logic method,
which is one of the artificial intelligence methods.
