Abstract: In order to reduce the energy consumption during tea processing, the technology principle of heat pipe transferring heat and the characteristics of heat pipe heat exchangers were briefly introduced in this paper. The heat pipe technology was applied to the electron hot air ball-breaking dryer for waste heat recovery, and the results indicated that the exhausted temperature of electron hot air dryer was decreased from 103℃ to 50℃, the thermal efficiency was increased from 40.71% to 78.57% and the electricity was saved 25βkW·h in 1βh. The effect of energy conservation is remarkable.

Key words: heat-pipe, tea processing, energy conservation, waste heat recovery
