A cathodic protection system for use with a wood veneer dryer is provided. The system includes a DC power supply and an anode mounted inside the dryer in a position to be electrolytically coupled to metallic structures or surfaces inside the dryer when an electrolytic medium is present inside the dryer. The electrolytic medium comprises a high-humidity atmosphere. A method for reducing the corrosion of metallic structures or surfaces inside the dryer is further provided. The method comprises mounting an anode inside the dryer in a position to be electrolytically coupled to the metallic structures or surfaces inside the dryer when an electrolytic medium is present. Wood veneer is conveyed through the dryer and heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a high-humidity atmosphere inside the dryer. A controlled amount of current is supplied by the DC power supply to electrolytically couple the anode to the metallic structures or surfaces.

A cleaning apparatus, method, and dry chamber are provided for cleaning a wafer carrier that holds wafers as part of a semiconductor fabrication process. The cleaning apparatus includes a wet chamber that receives the wafer carrier to be washed and a reservoir in fluid communication with the wet chamber. The reservoir stores a cleaning liquid that is introduced to the wafer carrier within the wet chamber during a washing operation, and a dry chamber is spaced apart from the wet chamber. The dry chamber receives the wafer carrier after the wafer carrier is washed in the wet chamber and holds the wafer carrier during a drying operation. A transport system transports the wafer carrier between the wet chamber and the dry chamber during a cleaning process.

A conveyor having a conveyance structure, mixing components, belt, and gas manifold. The gas manifold disposed within or on an exterior portion of the structure. The gas manifold having one or more manifold outlet ports to dry, condition, or treat a metered stream of seed within the conveyor. The manifold may be operably connected to a recirculating air system providing the vacuum source and pressurized air source of atmospheric or conditioned air. A filter and vacuum port may extract debris or humidity from the metered stream of seed within the conveyor. A plurality of mixing baffles may be longitudinally spaced apart through the conveyor in a laterally alternating manner to mix the metered stream of seed. The conveyor may be used to transfer, mix, dry, condition and treat the metered stream of seed between multiple stages of treatment.

A bale dryer including a support frame, at least one air intake manifold movably coupled to the support frame for supplying heated air, a bale retainer coupled to the support frame and configured for retaining at least one bale in a fixed position vertically spaced from the at least one air intake manifold, and an actuator coupled to the at least one air intake manifold and configured to move the at least one air intake manifold between a retracted position and an extended position.

An air-guiding structure of a separable hand dryer, the separable hand dryer comprises an air outlet faucet and a working machine connected by the air-guiding structure. The air outlet faucet comprises at least one electrical wire and a ground wire. The air-guiding structure comprises an air pipe and an adapter pipe, and the shape of the air pipe is adjusted by an adjustment manner so that one end of the air pipe is fitted a position of the working machine and the air outlet faucet. The adapter pipe comprises a trunk, a manifold communicating with the trunk and allowing the electrical and ground wires to pass therethrough, and a seal provided in the manifold allows the electrical and ground wires to pass through but to restrict the passage of air. The trunk is connected to the air pipe, and the adapter pipe is adjusted by the adjustment manner.

A system and method for drying individual biomass units. Turbine exhaust heats ambient air to produce heated air, which passes through a conveyor system that carries a quantity of biomass product to an endpoint collection area. Heated air with fine product particles is ducted to a series of cyclonic particle separators and collected.

A drying apparatus can include, in some aspects, an ultrasonic transducer and an infrared heater positioned proximate to the ultrasonic transducer and configured to emit infrared light. The drying apparatus can include a plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The drying apparatus can include a delivery enclosure defining a bottom wall, the bottom wall defining a plurality of air outlets; the ultrasonic transducer mounted to the delivery enclosure; and the drying apparatus can include an air mover mounted to the delivery enclosure.

The invention discloses a wheel cleaning and blowing method. A flange plate on a sliding table I ascends from a low position to a high position, a flange plate on a sliding table II descends from a preset high position to the low position. A upper servo motor is started to drive the sliding table I and the sliding table II to move synchronously to the center, the wheel entering a cleaning system is cleaned in all directions. A lower servo motor is started to drive a rotating disk to rotate 180 degrees, the wheel enters a blowing system from the cleaning system. The upper servo motor stops working, the idle sliding table II moves to the initial position of the left station, the sliding table I moves to the initial position of the right station.

The present disclosure consists of a drying tunnel for fruits or vegetables which comprises an impulsion and heating chamber and a plenum, configured for receiving an outgoing hot air generated in the impulsion and heating chamber by the generator, so that the plenum comprises openings arranged in a staggered pattern, located on the lower surface thereof, with an opening density between 150 to 300 openings per square meter, wherein said openings are configured for expelling a distributed hot air from inside the plenum in a perpendicular way towards a conveyor system, configured for moving fruits and vegetables to be dried.
