Conduction or Direct Contact Drying
This method of drying is advantageous where the material can be
flowed on to the drying surface and the dried material scraped off, or
4) C where the material to be dried can be handled in a sheet, and where
E there is no danger of subjecting the product to the full temperature of the

heating medium. The source of heat for this method may be steam, electricity, hot oil or hot water.
Convection
The circulation of heated air or other gases about the material to be

dried is generally termed convection drying. The convection may be
either natural or forced.. With forced circulation, the temperature of the

drier is more uniform and the rate of drying is much higher than with natural circulation. Where humidity is used, the control is much easier, and more accurate.
The source of heat for a convection drier may be steam, electricity, hot water, oil-fired heater, gas-fired heater, or coal furnace. Where either oil, gas or coal is used, the type of heater may be direct or indirect; i.e., '4 the products of combustion may be used (direct), or the circulated air may be heated through an interchanger (indirect).
Where the direct type is used, there is naturally a higher thermal efficiency, but it can only be used where the odor, soot, or the chemical elements of the products of combustion do not affect the material being dried. When heat economy is an important consideration this method (Fig. 1) may be used, permitting a small amount of air to be circulated, if a sacrifice of accurate control of temperature and humidity can be justified.
DRIERS
The term adiabatic drier is applied to a drier in which all the heat is supplied by air externally heated. The temperature of'the air in the
