A drying furnace comprises a plurality of drying areas that are continuously provided along a longitudinal direction of the furnace and include a first hot air supply port, a second hot air supply port, and an exhaust port. The first hot air supply port is arranged at a position below a vehicle body in the furnace shell to discharge hot air diagonally upward. The second hot air supply port is arranged at a position higher than the first hot air supply port in the furnace shell to discharge hot air diagonally downward. The exhaust port is arranged at a position lower than the first hot air supply port and the second hot air supply port in the furnace shell to discharge the hot air outside the furnace shell. The drying furnace uniformly raises the temperature of the external and internal parts of the vehicle body while shortening the furnace length.

The inventive concept provides a substrate treating apparatus. The substrate treating apparatus includes a chamber having an inner space therein; a fluid supply unit having a supply line configured to supply a treating fluid to the inner space and a fluid supply source configured to supply the treating fluid to the supply line; a first exhaust unit configured to exhaust the inner space; a second exhaust unit configured to exhaust the supply line; and a controller configured to control the fluid supply unit, the first exhaust unit, and the second exhaust unit, and wherein the controller controls the fluid supply unit and the second exhaust unit so a pressure of the supply line is maintained at a critical pressure of the treating fluid or above during at least a part of a standby step for keeping a substrate outside the inner space before introducing thereof into the inner space.

Methods and apparatuses that provide for laundry to be washed and rinsed in a washing device in a state in which it lies spread out on an upper strand of a belt conveyor and, directly thereafter, to be dried in a likewise spread-out state on an upper strand of a belt conveyor. During the washing, rinsing and also the drying operations, the laundry rests on the belt conveyors, which also transport the laundry through the washing device and the dryer. The items of laundry here are washed, and also rinsed, by being sprayed with jets of liquid. The procedure described provides for a compact washing and drying system and is gentler on the items of laundry.

An air conditioner for a vehicle is provided and includes a dryer which is connected to an indoor air conditioner that adjusts the temperature and humidity within a vehicle. The air conditioner simultaneously dries a dry subject such as clothes, shoes or the like.

There is provided a transport device which transports a web-shaped substrate from a first atmosphere of a first atmosphere temperature to a second atmosphere of a second atmosphere temperature different from the first atmosphere temperature along a transport path, the transport device including a plurality of pass rollers that are disposed in the transport path and that each support the substrate, and a plurality of heaters that heat the plurality of pass rollers respectively. The plurality of heaters perform heating such that the closer a pass roller is to an upstream side of the transport path, the closer a temperature to which the pass roller is heated is to the first atmosphere temperature and the closer a pass roller is to a downstream side of the transport path, the closer a temperature to which the pass roller is heated is to the second atmosphere temperature.
