Abstract

The refrigeration system is not only used for domestic and commercial air conditioning, but it can also be used to dry agricultural products. This article discusses drying using a dehumidification system that utilizes a vapor compression system, which is better known as a refrigeration system. With this system, the compressor, which is the heart of the refrigeration system, shows that it is safe to use for drying machines. The drying machine was tested on gemitir flowers, which have multiple functions that will decrease if dried at temperatures above 60 degrees Celsius. The machine was set at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and a humidity level of 40 percent. Test results show that the average weight loss of gemitir flowers is 85 percent, the product moisture content is 8 percent, and the energy consumed is 4.18 kWh/kg of gemitir flowers.
