Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for heating and/or cooling a plurality of particles (1) including a generally circular bed for holding the particles (1), the bed having a substantially centered annular inner bed wall (14), an outer bed wall (8), and an irregular bottom. The apparatus also includes a drive mechanism (28, 30, 32) rotatably affixed to said bed, where rotation of the drive mechanism at a predetermined rate produces a displacement of the bed horizontally and vertically resulting in a particle flow in the x, y and z directions. The particle flow in the x and y planes for a majority of said particles is in a dominant direction. The apparatus also includes an airplant which provides a heated and/or cooled airflow tangentially into the bed in a direction opposite to the dominant direction.
