A dryer unit for a vehicle wash system including an upper head portion with an air inlet. An impeller having a plurality of vanes rotatably disposed adjacent the air inlet. The impeller configured to rotate in a predetermined direction about an axis of rotation to draw air into the upper head portion through the air inlet. A flow channel formed in the upper head portion around a periphery of the impeller. A cut-off portion located adjacent a discharge area of the flow channel. A body portion disposed generally beneath the upper head portion with respect to a direction of fluid flow through the dryer unit. A plurality of outlet nozzle portions integrally formed with the body portion and in fluid communication with the air inlet. The plurality of nozzle portions configured to direct high velocity air flow toward a vehicle treatment area. At least one of the plurality of nozzles being located above the cut-off portion.

Disclosed is a method of drying an interior of a receptacle formed from a fibre suspension, the method comprising directing an airflow into an opening of the receptacle at a position offset from a centre of the opening. Also disclosed is a nozzle module for use in drying an interior of a receptacle formed from a fibre suspension, a fibre-based receptacle drying system for use in drying an interior of a receptacle formed from a fibre suspension, and a receptacle obtainable or obtained from a fabrication method comprising the disclosed method.

A gas impingement unit includes a gas source and an array of nozzles connected to the gas source and directed onto a support and transport surface arranged for supporting sheet-or web-like media and moving them in a transport direction past the array of nozzles. The nozzles are evenly distributed over an area of the support and transport surface. The array is an array of interleaved nozzles and vent openings. The vent openings are arranged for allowing gas that has been blown out from the nozzles to escape in a direction normal to the support and transport surface.

An apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is for automatically managing a helmet. Because the inside of a helmet may be sterilized and dried in a short time, a comfortable safety helmet may be ensured even during a short break time. Also, because charging may be performed without removing attachments such as an IoT device, an electronic device, and an illumination light from the helmet, the inconvenience of time and effort spent on attaching and detaching the attachments may be eliminated. Also, because the attachments such as the IoT device, the electronic device, and the illumination light may be charged at every break in the middle of work, a required capacity of a rechargeable battery may be reduced, a weight of the attachments may be reduced, and thus, the burden on the user to use the helmet may be reduced.

A filter-drying device having a compressed-air connector and at least one filter connector, wherein the filter-drying device is adapted to fluidically connect the compressed-air connector to the at least one filter connector in a first functional state and to fluidically separate it from the at least one filter connector in a second functional state, wherein the at least one filter connection is adapted to receive a filter, in particular a multi-usable ventilating filter, and to form an airtight connection between the filter-drying device and the filter.

A system for drying a container includes an air manifold having a plurality of outlets to deliver pressurized air toward passing containers. A surface, such as a conveyer belt, supports one or more such containers. A frame including a track or rollers is arranged at a predetermined distance from the surface, the frame being configured to brace the one or more containers against forces acting on the one or more containers from the pressurized air.

A battery powered blow dryer having a novel heating element technology that can be powered by an attached battery pack. The heating element includes an infrared light bulb that emits high heat with relatively low power consumption compared to current methods. The present invention patent also describes a unique configuration of battery cells to optimally perform the task of blow drying hair.

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.

An apparatus and process for removing volatiles from a solid at a low temperature, preferably below the boiling point of the volatile at standard temperature and pressure based upon the principle of not re-using the exhaust gas. The devolatilization can occur using a belt, a cyclone, a perforated plate or rotating chamber. This permits the preservation of products that would be harmed at temperatures above the boiling point.

A drying apparatus includes an upper drying part including a first drying nozzle which is formed above an object to be dried and which extends along a width direction of the object, the upper drying part including a second drying nozzle formed on a same surface as the first drying nozzle. Furthermore, the drying apparatus includes a lower drying part including a lower drying nozzle which is formed below the object and which extends along the width direction of the object. The first and second drying nozzles are configured to dry the object with different heat sources. There is an effect that the drying deviation of the object may be minimized and the precision of the drying may be increased by effectively preventing the overdrying or non-drying of the object during the drying of the object.
