Fluidized Bed Dryer (FBD) Principle: The fluidized bed dryer works on the principle of fluidization, where a bed of solid particles is suspended and agitated by an upward flow of hot air or gas, creating a fluid-like state. This maximizes the surface area for heat and mass transfer, leading to efficient drying. Working of Fluidized … Read more

Definition A fluidized bed dryer is a type of industrial dryer that uses a fluidized bed to suspend and dry particles. In a fluidized bed, a gas (usually air) is passed through a solid particulate material, causing the particles to behave like a fluid. This dynamic state enhances heat and mass transfer, making it an … Read more
