A dehumidification forward passage is provided for guiding air withdrawn from a treating chamber as dehumidification-subject air A″ to an adsorption area of an adsorption/desorption type dehumidifying device. A dehumidification return passage is provided for guiding air A″ past through the adsorption area to the treating chamber. A desorption heat pump is provided for heating desorbing air HA to be flown through a desorption area of adsorption/desorption type dehumidifying device, with utilizing, as a heat sink, dehumidified air A″ which has flown through the adsorption area and sent to the dehumidification return passage. There is provided a sensible-heat heat exchanger configured to cool the dehumidification-subject air A″ present in the dehumidification forward passage through a heat exchange reaction with dehumidified air A″ present in the dehumidification return passage which has been cooled via absorption of its heat by the desorption heat pump.

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 sawn wood drying system, which allows to take advantage of the heat contained in the dry wood that leaves the system to preheat the wet and cold wood that enters the system, the system comprising: a heating chamber, a drying chamber and a cooling chamber, sequentially arranged, and a transport path that allows the transfer of sawn wood through these three chambers; a first air circulation system, which provides a first high temperature air flow inside the drying chamber; and a second air circulation system that provides a second air flow, independent of the first air flow, which allows the heating chamber to be in fluid communication with the cooling chamber by means of external chambers or ducts connecting both chambers.

A container washing system may include a wash system, a drying system, and a conveying system. The conveying system may include a series of rollers to provide a path for a container to pass through the wash system and the drying system. The wash system and drying system may be housed in a containment structure, which may be mounted to a trailer thereby allowing the container washing system to be portable. The wash system may include one or more water jets for spraying water at a container carried by the conveying system, and the drying system may include one or more air nozzles for directing moving air at the container carried by the conveying system. The conveying system may be motorized to automatically convey the container through the wash system and the drying system. The water may be reclaimed, filtered, and recirculated through the wash system.

The present invention provides a conveyor belt tracking system for a dryer having a web of a mesh material having a protrusion extending along the length proximal one lateral edge and above a flat surface and a first generally cylindrical roller having a three-tiered slot for receiving the protrusion and two flanking shallow tracks for receiving base flanges.
