The expansion process of free gas can be regarded as an adiabatic process. When the gas expands, it expands outwards to do work.

Coal Temperature Variation Mechanism during Gas Desorption Process

It is very difficult to achieve isothermal compression and expansion using conventional compressors and expansion devices as conventional compressors and expanders work at high speed with the nearly adiabatic process. Special types of compressors and expanders are required to achieve isothermal OCAES in reality.

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.
