Samsung Electronics selected for U.S. Energy Department project on next-generation drying technology
Samsung Electronics is developing high-efficiency dehumidification drying technology under a U.S. Department of Energy-supported assignment. The two-year research will be carried out with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of South Carolina’s chemical engineering department on a $2.4 million budget, split equally between DOE funding and Samsung’s contribution. The project aims to cut electricity use to 35 percent of vented dryers while matching drying performance and enabling 120V use without external ducting work.
