NCIt related terms : Drying, Fluid Bed; Direct Heating, Fluidized Solids Bed;
NCIt definition : A process that removes water or volatile solvents using large volumes of hot air to
suspend a bed of solids.;
Alternative definition : FDA: Removal of volatile components using large volumes of hot air to suspend a bed
of solids.; PQCMC: Heat transfer is accomplished by direct contact between the wet solids and
hot gases. The vaporized liquid is carried away by the drying gases. The solids are
in an expanded condition, with the particles supported by drag forces caused by the
gas phase. The solids and gases intermix and behave like a boiling liquid. This process
commonly is referred to as fluid bed drying.;
