Maintaining constant enthalpy increases even more its performance, resulting in benefits such as: (1) desired product moisture content is reached in a faster way, because larger space and time increments may be used, with no interference in the quality of the final results; (2) no distortions should occur in the heat and mass balances between the product and drying air, once drying is conducted as the well accepted adiabatic process.
