This research aims to know the heat transfer process on the fluidized bed dryer for corn material. In this study conducted observations on the temperature and heat produced during the drying process, with three different pipe heat exchanger: spiral, parallel, and combination; The air of the air was 2 m/s, 4 m/s, and 6 m/s and the mass of corn material was1.5 kg with an initial moisture content of 24%. Test results showed that the highest-produced temperature in the combination heat exchanger pipe with a drying room temperature averaged 54°C. The value of the highest convection coefficient of heat transfer in the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air velocity of 6 m/s by 29.4 W/m 2 K. The heat energy that enters at the treatment of combination heat exchanger pipe with the air speed of 6 m/s by 1774 Watts. Heat energy is lost through the highest wall drying chamber at the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air velocity of 6 m/s by 409 Watts. The heat energy used is 335 Watts to dry the highest material in the combination heat exchanger pipe flow treatment with the air speed of 6 m/s.
