THROUGH AIR DRYING SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH HOT AIR INJECTION
20190339009 · 2019-11-07 · ·

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.

AIR DRYER AND METHOD OF USE
20240133627 · 2024-04-25 ·

An electric dryer designed for drying a bladder or food storage bag, featuring an electric fan enclosed within a housing, and an insert with a nozzle for directing air into the internal volume of the bag. The insert is dimensioned to be inserted into the bag's opening, separating the front and back panels and preventing the bag from folding along its longitudinal axis. The fan is capable of moving between five and fifteen cubic feet of air per minute. The insert may include a projection to prevent the bag from being blown off and is shaped to project at least an inch into the bag. The dryer may also include a base with at least one projection extending at an angle to the axis of the insert. The power line can be configured to couple to a wall outlet or a battery. The dryer may also come as part of a kit, including a tubular member and a flexible elongated tether for connecting the tubular member to the electric dryer.

Disposable For A Spray Drying System

The present invention includes a spray drying disposable device for use in a spray drying system. The disposable has a spray drying head and a plasma drying chamber. The head has a spray dry nozzle assembly in fluid communication with the plasma source and the pressurized aerosol gas source. The pressurized gas flows in a vortex pattern that atomizes plasma droplets in the chamber. The head also includes a plenum has uniform air pressure of the drying gas. A baffle plate forms the floor of the plenum having drying gas jets that supply drying gas to the chamber. The atomized plasma droplets evaporate in the presence of the drying gas emitted from the jets to obtain dried plasma particles and humid air. A capture filter captures the dried plasma particles and allows the humid air to pass. The humid air passes through the gas outlet and the exhaust port.

A portable glove drying apparatus having a housing defining an inner chamber containing a fan and power source, as well as a sized outlet for receiving a golf glove. A flexible but resilient loop is disposed across the sized outlet and can be inserted in a golf glove to support and expand the golf glove from its inside. The fan can generate air flow that is directed into a base opening of the glove and out of ventilation holes of the golf glove. The air flow acts to improve evaporation of moisture contained on or in the golf glove and thereby promotes rapid drying of the golf glove.

Endoscope cabinet having pivoting endoscope support arm and integrated air supply
10463441 · 2019-11-05 · ·

An endoscope storage cabinet includes a plurality of spaced endoscope hangers, each having a longitudinal support arm pivotably mounted at a wall of the cabinet and articulate downward toward the front of the cabinet. A valve block is supported at the upper end of each support arm and includes at least one air flow channel communicating with an air channel of the support arm. An endoscope valve interface on the valve block connects to at least one air orifice on the valve block and at least one valve of an endoscope control body and is configured to suspend the endoscope in spaced relation to other supported endoscopes and permit filtered air to flow through at least one internal channel of the endoscope to facilitate drying.
