An air drying system includes a regeneration special dryer and at least one air dryer unit. The air dryer unit contains a pair of first and second air dryer dehumidification tanks in which a dehumidification process and a regeneration process are alternately performed; a main compressor to supply compressed wet air to an inlet line; a first direction switching valve unit configured to transfer the compressed wet air from the inlet line to first dehumidification tank performing dehumidification; a second direction switching valve unit configured to transfer the compressed dry air from the first dehumidification tank or transfer regeneration special dry air from a regeneration special dryer to second dehumidification tank performing the regeneration; a heating unit configured to heat the regeneration special dry air supplied from the regeneration special dryer; and a cooler configured to detach moisture from dehumidifying agent filled in the second dehumidification tank.

Systems and processes for curing a wet coating of a coated substrate are disclosed. The system includes a ventilation system and a curing room configured to receive the coated substrate being displaced along a displacement axis and includes at least an upstream curing section and a downstream curing section. The upstream curing section includes an upstream catalytic infrared heating system for producing an upstream infrared radiation at an upstream radiation intensity to heat and partially cure the wet coating while the coated substrate is being displaced through the upstream curing section. On the other hand, the downstream curing section includes a downstream catalytic infrared heating system for producing a downstream infrared radiation at a downstream radiation intensity, being lower than the upstream radiation intensity, to further cure the wet coating while the coated substrate is being displaced through the downstream curing section for producing a cured coating.

A system for drying an electrode includes: an oven which applies hot air and radiant heat to an electrode sheet; and a controller which receives information on drying standby time, and controls an amount of heat supplied into the oven. Herein, the controller controls to supply a reduced amount of heat to the oven during an initial drying time right after the supply of the electrode sheet after the drying standby time.

A hand dryer apparatus includes a fan, a duct, at least one air knife driven by the fan and configured to direct air to dry one or more hands and push water from the one or more hands into the duct, and at least one cyclone device to provide at least a partially circular path for the air and water from the hand.

A paint baking oven comprises an oven body and a hot air supplier that supplies hot air into the oven body. The paint baking oven bakes a wet coating applied to a vehicle body while conveying the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a body exterior part and a narrow portion. The oven body is configured to include a spot baking region in which the hot air is blown primarily toward the narrow portion to locally bake a coating film applied to the narrow portion.

Assemblies and methods for drying apparel, for example, footwear or gloves, are provided. The assemblies include a panel; projections or pegs pivotally mounted to the panel, the projections each having an inlet, an outlet, an internal passage communicating the inlet to the outlet, and the projections can be oriented in a position adapted to receive the apparel; and a source of air having an outlet in fluid communication with the inlets of the projections. The air, for example, from a fan, passes into the inlets of the projections, through the internal passages, and out of the outlets to contact and dry the apparel mounted on the projections. The methods may include heating the air to enhance the drying. Projection modules that can be pivotally mounted to extend and retract into the panel are also disclosed. The retracted projection may be flush with the panel when not in use.

An improved drying stand is provided for drying clothing articles over a source of hot air. The drying stand includes a housing, which has a base with a plurality of holes in connection with the source of hot air, and sidewalls, defining a chamber. Conduits are connected to the openings in the base. The conduits may include a cap connected to the end, such that hot air flows through the openings in the base, through the conduits, and then is directed outwardly by the caps. The caps may serve both to direct hot air outwardly and to prevent any debris, such as dirty water, mud, dirt, etc. from falling out of the chamber through the conduits. In this manner, the drying stand provides a place for the clothing articles to dry and keeps the surrounding surfaces clean.

The invention disclosed is an ammunition cartridge case dryer for use in the cleaning, drying and reloading of ammunition cartridge cases. It comprises an upper housing, a base, means for forcing air into a hollow space defined by the upper housing and base, an array of cups or nozzles that are located on the upper surface of the dryer and are adapted to receive a wet cartridge case. The nozzles have apertures in communication with the hollow space such that air can be expelled through said nozzles into said cases for quick drying.

A fluid discharging nozzle cleaning apparatus includes: a cup in which an inner space, an upper opening which is open to allow a fluid discharging nozzle to enter the inner space, and a lower opening through which a cleaning liquid is discharged from the inner space to an outside are formed; a cleaning liquid discharger configured to discharge the cleaning liquid to the fluid discharging nozzle in a state in which the fluid discharging nozzle is positioned in the inner space of the cup; and a drying gas discharger configured to discharge a drying gas for drying the fluid discharging nozzle after the discharge of the cleaning liquid ends.

A dryer section for drying a web of fibrous material is provided, which has at least one drying unit for reducing the moisture content of the web by means of convection drying. The drying unit has at least one nozzle for applying a drying fluid to the web, at least one discharge device for the moist air produced during convection drying, and transport means for moving the web relative to the drying unit. The drying unit has at least one ultrasonic generator, which is arranged, for excitating vibrations in the drying fluid, in the region of the nozzle in such a manner that the reduction of the moisture content by ultrasound can be supported over the entire width of the web.
