An adjustable drying device comprises four brackets that attach and mount to a vent register and hang vertically from the vent register, allowing a support tube to be inserted at the bottom of the brackets and at varying positions from the vent register and horizontal to the vent register. The support tube allows clothes hangers to hang from it, allowing for clothing and other articles to be naturally air-dried from the air emitted from the vent register and/or natural air flow from surrounding ambient air. In addition, clothing and other articles can be hung or dried over the support tube without the use of clothes hangers, and other items can hang from or be attached to the support tube freely.

A recovery system for recovering plastic recycling material includes at least one rinsing chamber designed for heating and rinsing the plastic recycling material and having a rinsing air feed for feeding heated rinsing air into the at least one rinsing chamber; and at least one cooling chamber designed for cooling the plastic recycling material and having a cooling air feed for feeding cooling air into the at least one cooling chamber. The at least one cooling chamber is connected downstream of the at least one rinsing chamber and is fluid-connected to the rinsing air feed via an exhaust air line in such a manner that the exhaust air heated in the at least one cooling chamber by the plastic recycling material can be fed into the rinsing air feed of the at least one rinsing chamber. Use of such recovery system and method for recovering plastic recycling material.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an energy recovery system for a freeze-drying system. In some embodiments, the freeze-drying system includes a freeze dryer chamber having one or more shelves disposed therein; a refrigeration system comprising a refrigerant condenser; a heat exchanger; a first fluid line to thermally couple the refrigerant condenser to the heat exchanger; and a second fluid line to thermally couple the one or more shelves to the heat exchanger.

This invention discloses systems and methods for conversion of high moisture waste materials to dry or low moisture products for recycle or reuse. The equipment systems comprise a gas turbine generator unit (preferred heat source), a dryer vessel and a processing unit, wherein the connection between the gas turbine and the dryer vessel directs substantially all the gas turbine exhaust into the dryer vessel and substantially precludes the introduction of air into the dryer vessel and wherein the processing unit forms the dried material from the dryer vessel into granules, pellets or other desired form for the final product. Optionally, the systems and methods further provide for processing ventilation air from manufacturing facilities to reduce emissions therefrom.

This invention discloses systems and methods for conversion of manure to novel fertilizer and/or soil builder products useful as input for organic farming operations. The equipment systems comprise a gas turbine generator unit (preferred heat source), a dryer vessel and a processing unit, wherein the connection between the gas turbine and the dryer vessel directs substantially all the gas turbine exhaust into the dryer vessel and substantially precludes the introduction of air into the dryer vessel. The dryer vessel receives the manure for contact with the turbine exhaust gases to convert the manure to a dry material, which is passed to the processing unit where it is formed into granules, pellets or other desired form for the final dry fertilizer product. The method comprises drying, heating and converting the manure to form novel self binding fertilizer and soil builder type products for organic farming and other uses.

A controlling method for a dryer is applied to a dryer, in which at least one of a heat pump system and a heater is selected as a heat source for heating air supplied in to a drum and a heat supply capacity of the heat pump system is more than that of the heater. The controlling method includes, when both the heat pump system and the heater are selected as the heat sources, turning the heat pump system on, turning the heater on after the heat pump system is normally turned on, turning the heater off to cool the drum and terminate drying after the drying is performed, and turning the heat pump system off after the heater is turned off.

A single-pass lumber kiln includes a main drying chamber, a heat source to provide heat to the main drying chamber, a pre-heating chamber connected to a receiving side of the main drying chamber, the pre-heating chamber having a moisture collector and a kiln entrance, a supplemental heat source to provide heat to the pre-heating chamber, a conditioning chamber connected to an exit of the main drying chamber, the conditioning chamber having a moisture delivery system and a kiln exit, wherein the pre-heating chamber, the main drying chamber and the conditioning chamber are positioned such that lumber entering the kiln travels in only one direction, partitions between the main drying chamber and the conditioning chamber, and between the main drying chamber and the pre-heating chamber, the partitions having controllable dampers, fans arranged adjacent the pre-heating chamber, the conditioning chamber, and the main drying chamber, wherein some of the fans are arranged between the pre-heating and main drying chamber to transfer heat from the main drying chamber to the pre-heating chamber through the dampers, wherein the supplemental heat source provides heat to the pre-heating chamber in addition to the heat from the main drying chamber, exhaust fans arranged adjacent the kiln entrance and the kiln exit, and a fluid path connecting the moisture collector of the pre-heating chamber to the moisture delivery system of the conditioning chamber.

In order to provide a treatment installation for treating workpieces that is of simple construction and enables optimised workpiece treatment, it is proposed that the treatment installation should include a treatment chamber and a conveying device, by means of which the workpieces are suppliable to the treatment chamber, are removable from the treatment chamber, and/or are conveyable through the treatment chamber in a conveying direction.
