A fluidized bed dryer is used in various fields since it has high drying rate. For the drying of heat sensitive materials, the drying should be performed at low temperature. The fluidized bed drying under reduced pressure is one of the methods to dry the heat sensitive materials at low temperature with high drying rate. In this paper, fundamental of the fluidized bed drying under reduced pressure is explained. The drying in the fluidized bed of medium particles is also treated in this paper.
