The Science Behind JIMU’s Heat Pump Drying Technology
The JIMU dehydrator operates on the reverse Carnot principle, absorbing ambient heat and transferring it to the drying chamber via a refrigerant cycle. This process maintains a precise temperature range of 40–80°C, ideal for preserving cinnamon’s essential oils and bioactive compounds . Unlike conventional dryers, which often overheat or underdry, JIMU’s intelligent system ensures uniform airflow and humidity control, preventing surface hardening or nutrient loss. By recycling residual heat, it reduces energy consumption by up to 70% compared to coal or electric dryers.
Enhanced Quality Preservation
A 2024 study in Heliyon confirmed that low-temperature drying at 45°C maximizes cinnamon’s color, aroma, and concentration of key markers like cinnamaldehyde and coumarin. JIMU’s programmable settings replicate these conditions, ensuring vibrant, fragrant cinnamon that meets international standards.
The dehydrator’s closed-loop air circulation prevents contamination from dust or pollutants, a common issue in sun-drying .
Unbeatable Efficiency and Speed
JIMU reduces drying time by 50–80% compared to traditional methods. For instance, while natural air drying takes weeks, JIMU completes the process in hours without sacrificing quality .
Its auto-adjusting vents and humidity sensors expel moisture efficiently, achieving optimal moisture content (below 10%) in a single cycle .
Significant Energy and Cost Savings
With an average power consumption of 3–4 kWh , JIMU cuts operational costs by 60% versus fuel-based systems . Farmers can reuse energy from residual heat, slashing electricity bills.
The dehydrator’s insulated drying chamber minimizes heat loss, further enhancing sustainability .
Smart Automation: Set parameters for temperature, humidity, and duration; the system operates unattended. Integrated alerts notify users upon completion.
Scalability: From small-scale producers to industrial facilities, JIMU offers modular models handling 400–800 kg per batch.
Durability: Built with corrosion-resistant compressors and copper heat exchangers, it withstands harsh environments for over 15 years
