abstract: Experiments on drying potato protein concentrates at a different height of static bed in the drying chamber H0 = 0.07 m, 0.1 m, 0.12 m, 0.15 m at a constant velocity (v = 0.8 m s-1) and the air temperature inlet (t = 70oC) of the drying medium were carried out on a laboratory scale. The influence of the height of the bed of potato protein on the drying rate and the value of the average moisture flux from the unit volume of the drying chamber were determined.
