A dryer includes a hollow casing, a fan disposed inside the casing so as to cause air to be introduced into the casing and to be discharged therefrom, a heater disposed inside the casing to heat the air introduced into the casing by the fan, and a discharge tube including an inlet into which the air is introduced, and an outlet from which the air is discharged. The fan includes a first fan and a second fan, which rotate in opposite directions about an imaginary axis shared by the first and second fans. A discharge amount or a discharge rate can be controlled in a stepwise manner. The discharge tube is disposed inside the casing so as to be rotated in at least one direction, thereby diffusely discharging drying air to a region desired to be dried.

A hand dryer includes a hand insertion section, a blower, and a UV irradiator. The hand insertion section defines a hand insertion space. The hand insertion section has an air hole that opens to the hand insertion space. The blower is in fluid communication with the air hole. The blower is configured to blow air from the air hole into the hand insertion space or to suck air from the hand insertion space into the air hole. The UV irradiator irradiates the hand insertion space with ultraviolet light generated by a light source.

Provided in this disclosure is a hand dryer including a mounting structure having a planar surface for adjoining to a planar surface of a mounting wall upon which the hand dryer is mounted. A motor is provided for rotating a fan that generates an air flow. The motor is mounted transversely upon the mounting structure such that a plane of motor rotation is parallel to the planar surface of the mounting wall, and an axis of motor rotation is perpendicular to the mounting wall. The nozzle receives the air flow from the motor, and directs the air flow toward hands of a user. The hand dryer includes air intakes, mounted along opposite sides the motor, for receiving transverse flows of air. The air intake also includes a recessed portion, configured between the air intakes, for receiving the motor, and fluidly connecting the motor to the air intakes.
