Abstract
This study reports the results of drying tests with a dryer operated b oth with and without internal air reheating (isothermal operation and nonisothermal operation, respectively), which provide an overview of d ryer performance in removing moisture from coffee beans. The results s how that ''isothermal operation'' has an advantage regarding drying sp eed, whereas the nonisothermal process shows more advantages when the analysis is carried out for energy consumption.
