A heat pump dehydrator acts as an efficient “heat mover” moving heat from the outside air into the drying chamber to dry food in an energy-saving way. The entire process is electric-driven, yet it saves 50-70% more electricity than traditional electric heating and offers automatic temperature and humidity control for simple operation.

Heat Absorption (Evaporation): The evaporator acts like a “heat sponge,” pulling warmth from the air, which makes the refrigerant evaporate into a low-temperature, low-pressure gas.

Compression & Heating: The compressor then “squeezes” this gas, making it high-temperature and high-pressure.

Heat Release (Condensation): The condenser releases this heat, warming the drying chamber’s air. This hot air then circulates over your chilies, efficiently removing moisture.

Expansion & Cooling: The refrigerant goes through an expansion valve, dropping in pressure and cooling back into a liquid, ready to start the cycle again.

Humidity Control: A specialized dehumidification system removes moisture, keeping the drying chamber perfectly dry.
