A low-temperature drying apparatus includes a furnace body, an object holder, an infrared light transmitting plate, a supply device, a discharge device, and infrared heaters. The object holder holds an object to be dried so that the object to be dried is placed in the furnace body. The infrared light transmitting plate is arranged on a surface of the furnace body that faces the object holder. The cooling flow generating device generates a cooling flow in a space between the object to be dried that is held by the object holder and the infrared light transmitting plate. The infrared heater is disposed to face the infrared light transmitting plate in an open space outside the furnace body.

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 through air bonder (TAB). Some of the air output by the TAD/TAB may be recirculated to be passed back through material. As the air is recirculated, it is heated and mixed to a desired uniform temperature distribution. As heated air of the desired uniform temperature distribution is passed through ducting for transport to the material, the desired uniform temperature distribution deteriorates due to heat loss experienced at the walls of the ducting. Heating tape is implemented with respect to particular locations of ducting and selectively operated to maintain air traveling through the ducting at the desired uniform temperature distribution. Heat generated by the heating tape is used to counteract heat loss experienced by air traveling through the ducting.

Provided in one example is a method. The method includes generating, using a processor, data of a negative of an image to be printed on a print medium. The method includes determining, using the processor, a moisture profile of a print job, which print job includes the image and the negative, using data of the image and the data of the negative. The method includes generating, using the processor, printing instructions of the print job using at least the determined moisture profile. The method includes printing the print job on the print medium using at least the printing instructions.

A system and method for drying cavities containing spent nuclear fuel is devised. The invention utilizes a non-intrusive procedure that is based on monitoring the dew point temperature of a non-reactive gas that is circulated through the cavity. In one aspect, the invention is a system for drying a cavity loaded with spent nuclear fuel comprising: a canister forming the cavity, the cavity having an inlet and an outlet; a source of non-reactive gas; means for flowing the non-reactive gas from the source of non-reactive gas through the cavity; and means for repetitively measuring the dew point temperature of the non-reactive gas exiting the cavity.

A dual-airflow cyclone flash drying device includes a feeding device, a fluidizing cyclone generator and a drying cylinder. The fluidizing cyclone generator is connected with the drying cylinder through a central connecting pipe. The tail end of the feeding device is provided with a porous plate doser that is connected with the central connecting pipe. The fluidizing cyclone generator adopts lateral air supply, air forms a cyclone along the circular outer wall to enter the central connecting pipe. A drying cyclone generator is arranged at the lower portion of the drying cylinder. The drying cyclone generator adopts lateral air supply, and after forming a cyclone, air spirally rises to make contact with fluidized granular sludge to evaporate sludge moisture into water vapor. A particle size selector is arranged at the upper portion of the drying cylinder, and an outlet flue is arranged above the particle size selector.

A seed flow chamber for handling seed and grain commodity, especially for use with a seed treatment applicator. Seed flow is received through an upper inlet opening configured to receive a flow of seed and discharged through a lower discharge opening. A diverging guide member splits the seed flow. A converging guide member disposed below the diverging guide member reunites the seed flow prior to discharge. The converging member has a downward sloping surface and an air vent, such as a plurality of airflow apertures connected to a plenum. The air vent is configured to communicate with an air supply. A vacuum ventdisposed below the diverging guide memberis configured to communicate with a vacuum source. A fan system recirculates air between the air vent and the vacuum vent. Dehumidifier may condition the air supply to assist with drying.
