The present invention provides methods and systems for a portable modular drying device that includes a distributing manifold for receiving a blower device that distributes air through the device, and at least one drying manifold having a first end, a second end, and at least one opening between the first end and the second end for distributing the drying air selectively secured to the distributing manifold. The device further includes at least one drying hose or glove tube selectively secured to the at least one opening of the at least one drying manifold.

A production process for production of water absorbing polymer particles, including drying an aqueous polymer gel in a belt drier with a conveyor belt having a drier setup in the interior, in which drying air in the interior of the drier setup is conducted in countercurrent counter to the conveying direction and the interior of the drier setup is kept substantially at a reduced pressure relative to the ambient pressure outside the drier setup, and the interior has and/or forms a pressure zone, and is especially divided into a number of pressure zones.

A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one compartment defined between the upstanding sidewalls. A drying compartment includes an upper and lower horizontal panels, at least one of the upper and lower panels being hollow and extending at least partially between the sidewalls of the locker. A pair of compartment sidewalls are connected to the panels, at least one of the compartment sidewalls being in fluid communication with the at least one hollow upper and lower panels. A perforated rear panel is connected to the compartment sidewalls and the upper and lower panels and is in fluid communication with an interior of the drying compartment. At least one fan is disposed in one of the compartment sidewalls, wherein the fan draws air from the at least one hollow upper and lower panels, directs it into the interior of the drying compartment, and the air is exhausted from the compartment though the perforated rear panel.

An air outlet device is disclosed herein. The air outlet device includes a plenum body portion, the plenum body portion defining an air chamber therein, the plenum body portion including an air inlet configured to be coupled to a supply air source for supplying air to the air chamber; an air nozzle portion fluidly coupled to the plenum body portion and including a nozzle inlet and an exit orifice, the air nozzle portion configured to discharge the air from the air chamber at a substantially uniform velocity through the exit orifice; and an air nozzle extension fluidly coupling the air chamber of the plenum body portion to the nozzle inlet of the air nozzle portion, the air nozzle extension being configured to increase an efficiency of the air outlet device by decreasing the pressure drop that occurs when the pressure energy of the air is converted to kinetic energy.

A cassette drying apparatus includes first to fourth blowing nozzles configured to respectively inject hot air along first to fourth side face portions of a substrate cassette, and an exhaust duct disposed in a central portion of a bottom face of the substrate cassette. The first to fourth blowing nozzles are each disposed in a direction to inject the hot air in a clockwise direction around the exhaust duct.

A low profile design air tunnel system and method for providing uniform air flow in a refractance window dryer are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a conditioned air supply manifold that provides air into a drying chamber. The system has a drying belt directed through the drying chamber. A feed application tray at a first end of the drying belt applies a liquid to the drying belt. The system has an exhaust manifold located at the first end of the drying belt.

A continuous-flow dryer for drying a material by hot air is provided with a first and a second section, through which the material flows successively in a transport direction. It includes a fresh air supply device, an exhaust air recirculation device for removing exhaust air and for recirculating exhaust air as supply air, and a heat exchanger, through which fresh air and exhaust air are led, for transferring waste heat of the exhaust air into the fresh air. With the exhaust air recirculation device a first part of the exhaust air is removed from the first section and recirculated directly into the first section. Furthermore, a second part of the exhaust air is removed from the first section, led through the heat exchanger, and recirculated as supply air into the first section. The fresh air supply device supplies fresh air as supply air into the second section.

A continuous-flow dryer for drying a material by means of hot air is provided with a fresh air supply device for supplying fresh air as supply air, an exhaust air recirculation device for removing exhaust air and for recirculating exhaust air as supply air, and a heat exchanger, through which fresh air on the one hand and exhaust air on the other hand are led, for transferring waste heat of the exhaust air into the fresh air. According to the invention, the removed exhaust air is supplied at the bottom into the heat exchanger.

A display module terminal cleansing device includes a wiper assembly and a gas blower assembly. The gas blower assembly is first operated to blow away particle foreign substances located on a terminal area to be cleansed And, then, the wiper assembly is operated to wipe off foreign substances remaining on the terminal area. The display module terminal cleansing device may achieve an effect of cleansing where water droplet angle on the surface of the cleansed terminal area is less than 15 and also prevents a potential issue of scratching and damaging the display module during the process of cleansing. Also disclosed is a display module terminal cleansing method.
