Air source heat pump drying market

In recent years, with the promotion of clean heating, the drying industry has gradually shifted from traditional drying methods to clean energy drying methods. In 2020, under the dual influence of policy and market development, air source heat pump drying emerged, leaving a significant mark in the drying industry. The highlights of the air source heat pump drying market in 2020.

On April 14, 2020, the Office of the Leading Group for Pollution Prevention and Control in Henan Province issued the "Three Year Action Plan for Replacing Coal with Electricity in Tobacco Baking Houses in the Province". The Plan specifies that starting from 2020, within three years, 27903 tobacco leaf continuous coal-fired grills in the province will be transformed into electric coal. Among them, 40% of the transformation task will be completed in 2020, and 1000 new electric energy grills will be built. 40% of the transformation task will be completed in 2021, and 20% of the transformation task will be completed in 2022.

Promoting Heat Pump Drying Technology to Promote Food Security: On April 16, 2020, the People's Political Consultative Conference published an article titled "National Committee Member Tang Junjie: Promoting Heat Pump Drying Technology to Promote Food Security." Tang Junjie, National Committee Member and General Manager of Beijing Ershang Dongfang Food Group Co., Ltd., stated that in recent years, coal has been replaced by clean energy, and the use of coal-fired hot air stoves as heat sources has been explicitly prohibited in various regions. Considering the current energy situation in China, where coal is abundant, oil is scarce, and gas is scarce, solar energy, biomass, diesel, natural gas, and electric heating, as alternative energy sources, all have obvious shortcomings. Using heat pump drying technology to replace traditional coal-fired hot air stoves, which mainly rely on high energy consumption and high pollution, has obvious advantages in energy conservation, environmental protection, and efficiency.

On June 4, 2020, the Pollution Prevention and Control Office of Pingdingshan City issued the "Three Year Action Plan for Electric Coal Substitution in Tobacco Baking Houses in Pingdingshan City". By 2020, the plan was to complete the renovation of 298 electric coal substitution grills and the construction of 200 new electric energy grills; Plan to complete the renovation task of 2304 buildings in 2021; The plan is to complete the renovation task of the remaining 1614 buildings in 2022. Subsequently, on July 2, 2020, Henan Province issued a bidding announcement for the 2020 electric energy baking room procurement project of Henan Tobacco Company Pingdingshan City Company, with a budget of 30 million yuan, including the construction and renovation of 498 air source heat pump baking rooms.

On June 13, 2020,? State Grid Fujian Electric Power has released the "Big Data Analysis Report on the Development Trend of Tobacco Energy Consumption" based on power big data, and has also completed the development of the "Tobacco Energy Consumption Communication" data product.? According to the data product "Tobacco Energy Consumption Communication", the annual electricity consumption trend of tobacco users is calculated based on their information and monthly electricity consumption. By analyzing the energy consumption costs per ton of various types of tobacco, such as electric tobacco, coal tobacco, and biomass tobacco, the development trend, proportion of user types, and distribution of tobacco users can be determined. This confirms that electric tobacco has considerable advantages in reducing costs and preventing pollution.

On August 8-10, 2020, the first "Air Source Heat Pump Sludge Drying Engineering Design and Project Operation" training course was successfully held in Guangzhou, sponsored by the Heat Pump Professional Committee of the China Energy Conservation Association and the China Heat Pump Industry Alliance, hosted by the "Heat Pump" magazine, and co organized by the China Environmental Protection Industry Research Institute. Over 100 students from more than ten provinces including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Hubei, Fujian, Hunan, and Henan participated in a three-day centralized training. This training course focuses on learning the working principle of dehumidification heat pumps and the basic theory of sludge drying, basic knowledge of sewage treatment, municipal sludge and industrial sludge, urban and industrial sludge treatment and disposal technology and industry status and development trends, new technologies and processes of heat pump sludge drying, investment and financing models and efficient operation points of heat pump sludge drying projects, and evaluation methods of heat pump sludge drying effects. The goal is to cultivate the knowledge and ability of enterprises and distributors to independently design and operate heat pump sludge drying projects, so as to more effectively carry out project services. The training course aims to standardize the manufacturing, engineering design, and project operation of air source heat pump sludge drying equipment, improve the overall disposal level of sludge scientific utilization, ensure high-quality operation of projects, and expand the market share of heat pump sludge drying.

On September 15, 2020, the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves issued a notice on innovating measures to increase efforts and further improve grain conservation and loss reduction work. The notice mentions: actively carry out research and development of grain saving and loss reduction technologies and equipment in fields such as grain storage, logistics, and processing, strengthen the promotion and application of relevant technological achievements, achieve efficient loss reduction through technological innovation, and build intangible good fields. Deeply study the migration laws of temperature, humidity, and heat in grain piles, carry out the application of multi field coupling technology in grain piles, promote the integration and innovation of low-temperature complete technology, research and develop new grain storage agents, and promote the use of biological agents for grain storage. Strengthen the development and promotion of grain storage technology for farmers of various scales, develop new types of grain harvesting machinery, and encourage the development of mobile green and environmentally friendly drying equipment. Promote various new drying heat sources such as heat pumps and biomass according to local conditions to better meet the needs of grain drying.

On October 28, 2020, the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology issued a document titled "Notice of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology on Submitting the 2021 Coal (Oil, Diesel, Gas) Boiler Kiln and" Electric Tobacco "Electricity Substitution Project in Chengdu". The notice stated that the "Electric Tobacco" Coal to Electricity Project will also receive funding support within the provincial budget.

On December 15, 2020, China National Tobacco Corporation Henan Provincial Company approved the release of the enterprise standard "Technical Regulations for Air Source Heat Pump Dense Baking Room Baking". The standard specifies the mature harvesting standards, cigarette packaging, cigarette packaging, baking process, moisture regain method, and tobacco stacking for using air source heat pump dense baking rooms to bake tobacco leaves. It is suitable for dense baking of tobacco leaves using tobacco rods, cigarette clips, and other cigarette packaging methods in dense baking rooms.
