A washing device includes a main body, a water system, and a drying system. The main body includes a first washing zone, a second washing zone, and a drying zone. A transporting device transports an object to make it pass through the first washing zone, the second washing zone, and the drying zone. The first washing zone has a first water outlet, and the second washing zone has a second water outlet. The water system includes a heater for heating water and a tank. A first pipe connects the heater and the first water outlet, and a second pipe connects the heater and the tank. An outlet pipe connects the tank and the second water outlet. A collecting structure collects waste water and injects into the tank. The drying system is adapted to supply air flow to the drying zone for drying the object.

A system and method for an intelligent hair drying/styling apparatus with user information transmission and storage capabilities is herein provided. The hair drying/styling apparatus houses a control circuit board and an infrared or temperature sensor (or camera) in order detect an individual's hair condition moisture level to determine a user specific, customizable dryer setting. The information detected by the sensor is stored locally, on a proximal Internet-enabled device, or on a remote or cloud-based server and accessed by the hair drying/styling apparatus through a wireless local area network connectivity function. Accordingly, a user's hair temperature-drying profile may be stored and later recalled to provide optimal hair styling setting customized for that user. This innovation will enable any number of hair professionals and or end consumers to improve styling and dry time. Such a profile may contain a proprietary V-Factor calculation that will, among other applications, correspond to the use of a coordinated and optimized hair spray solution. According to the present invention, energy usage is reduced to enable a more efficient design.

Disclosed is a blower including a blower main body configured to move air from a main body suction port formed in a lower end thereof to a main body discharge port formed in an upper end thereof using an air-conditioning module provided therein, and a variable nozzle connected to the upper end of the blower main body so as to suction the air moved from the blower main body through a nozzle suction port thereof and discharge the air through a nozzle discharge port thereof, the variable nozzle including a pair of nozzle guides provided therein to adjust a partial pressure of the air to be discharged through the nozzle discharge port.

Kiln design that uses a series of at least two subsections with airflow in constant but alternating directions instead of using bi-directional fans that periodically reverse directions. The uninterrupted alternating air flow may be used in continuous drying kilns (CDK) with two sets of carriages carrying spaced stacks of lumber travel in opposite directions through a sequence of chambers. The uninterrupted alternating air flow may be used with a set of at least one pathway for carriages carrying lumber to be dried where all carriages move from a first end of the kiln to a second end of the kiln.

A vehicle-mounted in-situ magnetic field decontamination device for heavy metal contaminated soil with a retractable baffle is provided and includes a mounting frame, a plurality of magnetic rods circumferentially move along the mounting frame, the mounting frame and a lifting regulator are hinged with an agricultural machinery frame body, and an upper end of the mounting frame is supported by the lifting regulator. A magnetic particle recovery assembly is arranged below the upper end of the mounting frame. A retractable baffle assembly includes baffle springs and non-magnetic baffles, which each sleeve a corresponding magnetic rod. A turn-over channel for the retractable baffle assembly to move is provided at a middle part of mounting frame. Compression flaps are provided at both sides of turn-over channel, and an ejection flare for the ejection of the non-magnetic baffles is formed between free ends of the compression flaps at both sides.

Methods for drying a substrate. The methods include the following steps: (a) emitting infrared radiation towards a substrate moving through a process space using an emitter unit comprising at least one inflated emitter, (b) generating at least two process gas streams of a process gas directed towards the substrate, (c) drying the substrate by the action of infrared radiation and process gas on the substrate, and (d) extracting moisture-laden process gas from the process space via an extraction duct, forming an exhaust air stream leading away from the substrate. To specify a drying method which is reproducible and effective and leads to an improved result, in particular in terms of homogeneity and speed of drying of the substrate, the at least two process gas streams are guided to the infrared emitter before they act on the substrate, and an exhaust air stream is spatially assigned to each process gas stream.

Systems and methods for drying or bonding materials are described. A material to be dried or bonded may be passed through a through air dryer (TAD) (or other dryer). Some of the air output by a TAD may be recirculated to be passed back through material. As the air is recirculated, it is heated and mixed to a desired temperature for drying or bonding. A separate hot air injection system may heat ambient air and/or air exhausted by the TAD and inject the heated air into the recirculated air.

A web drying apparatus, comprises: a blow-drying part which has two blower units arranged on both sides of web which is transferred in a transfer direction, and injects gas onto the web passing through a dry path between the two blower units; a housing which has a sidewall provided with an opening facing the dry path from the transfer direction, through which the web passes in the transfer direction through the opening, and houses the blow-drying part; an exhaust part which is disposed between the sidewall and the blow-drying part in the housing and exhausts gas from the inside of the housing to the outside of the housing; and a rectifying member which is disposed between the blow-drying part and the exhaust part in the housing and faces the web being transferred in the transfer direction.

Disclosed is an apparatus for drying a material, the apparatus including: an air-delivery enclosure with an air inlet and an air outlet through which forced air is directed toward the material; and an ultrasonic transducer connected to the air outlet of the air-delivery enclosure, the ultrasonic transducer including: a first inner surface; a second inner surface, the second inner surface facing the first inner surface, the first inner surface and the second inner surface defining an airflow path through the ultrasonic transducer; a first groove defined in a first inner surface, the first groove including a first flat portion; and a second groove defined in a second inner surface, the second groove including a second flat portion.

In order to provide a treatment installation for treating workpieces that is of simple construction and enables optimised workpiece treatment, it is proposed that the treatment installation should include a treatment chamber and a conveying device, by means of which the workpieces are suppliable to the treatment chamber, are removable from the treatment chamber, and/or are conveyable through the treatment chamber in a conveying direction.
