A system for supporting and drying personal protective equipment includes a ducting frame assembly, ventilated equipment racks connected to the frame assembly, and valves between the equipment racks and the ducting frame assembly. The system is supported by a base assembly, bracing, or a combination of a base and braces. A blower forces air through the frame assembly and may heat the air and add disinfecting or deodorizing substances to the air flow. Valves may be opened to direct the forced air into equipment racks and through ventilation apertures or openings in the racks. Personal protective equipment may be disposed upon the equipment racks, so that air is ventilated out of the racks and onto and around protective equipment on the racks.

The invention provides a balanced drying system, comprising an air supply and exhaust main pipeline, and at least two groups of drying units; the drying units each comprises a unit air supply fan and a drying oven, the drying units each is provided with a unit air inlet and a unit air outlet, the drying oven is provided with a drying oven air inlet and a drying oven air outlet, and all of the groups of the drying units are disposed in pairs at intervals on the air supply and exhaust main pipeline via the unit air inlet and the unit air outlet, the unit air inlet is connected with the drying oven air inlet, and the unit air outlet is connected with the drying oven air outlet. The invention has the advantages of concise and stable system, simple adjustment, low exhaust air volume, low energy consumption and the like.

A nozzle includes a slit-shaped discharge port at tip ends of a pair of nozzle walls arranged to face each other at a predetermined interval and a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the facing nozzle walls at tip end sides of the nozzle walls.

A shoulder pad dryer and hanger is shown and described. The shoulder pad dryer and hanger includes a central support. The central support has a pair of cross supports connected opposite each other. The central support and the pair of cross supports are hollow such that air flows through the interior of the device. The central support and the pair of cross supports have apertures therein to allow air to pass therethrough. There is a hook located at the top of the central support. At the bottom of the central support there is a fan to force air through the device. There is a shoulder pad support system attached to each of the cross supports that will keep shoulder pads suspended from the device allowing air to flow beneath the pads.

Systems for and methods of drying a wet skin of a wet skinned ceramic ware are disclosed. The wet skinned ceramic ware includes a dry interior web with an outer surface. The wet skin is disposed on the outer surface of the dry interior web. The method includes generating an airstream and then directing the airstream through a first end of the wet-skinned ceramic ware only through an annular portion of the interior web that is adjacent the outer surface of the interior web. The flow of the airstream through the annular portion of the interior web causes moisture in the wet skin to migrate inwardly toward the interior web. The moisture is removed from the annular portion of the interior web when the airstream exits a second end of the ceramic ware, thereby drying the skin from the inside out of the wet-skinned ceramic ware.

There is provided a grain dryer in which the whole of a dryer main body can be made effective use of whether the grain dryer is used in either a circulation drying mode or in a continuous flow drying mode, the grain dryer including a dryer main body into which grains are loaded, a hot air chamber provided at one side of the dryer main body to supply hot air into an interior of the dryer main body, and an exhaust air chamber provided at the other side of the dryer main body to discharge hot air from the interior of the dryer main body, wherein the hot air chamber and the exhaust air chamber each have a plurality of upper and lower independent spaces, the corresponding spaces of the hot air chamber and the exhaust air chamber being disposed to be positioned substantially at a same height, and wherein the individual spaces of the hot air chamber communicate with corresponding hot air generators to execute separate supplies of hot air generated by the hot air generators into the individual spaces, and a height range in the interior of the dryer main body into which hot air is supplied from the spaces of the hot air chamber is defined as a drying section to dry grains loaded into the interior of the dryer main body.

A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one shelf extending between the sidewalls, the shelf and sidewalls defining a compartment. A rack is disposed in the compartment and extends upwardly from the shelf. The rack is dimensioned and configured to support at least a pair of shoulder pads and preferably both pads and a helmet. The rack optionally includes a ventilation system, and the ventilation system, may be incorporated into a multi-locker ventilation system.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method to perform drying and testing of organometallic and organosilane precursor source ampoules that have been cleaned for re-use. The drying and quality control testing is performed in a single location with a single apparatus requiring only one manual connection/disconnection step of the ampoule to the apparatus. The testing includes analyses for residual moisture, entrained particulate matter, differential pressure, and helium leak checking.

A shoe dryer including a main body, a shoe receiver provided inside the main body and configured to receive a shoe, a blower configured to blow air toward the shoe received in the shoe receiving portion, a camera configured to obtain an image of the shoe by photographing the shoe received in the shoe receiver, and a control device configured to recognize information about the shoe from the image of the shoe obtained by the camera, and control a direction of air blown by the blower based on the information about the shoe.
