FLOW PATH SWITCHING UNIT FOR DRYER AND DRYER INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133112 titled 'FLOW PATH SWITCHING UNIT FOR DRYER AND DRYER INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The flow path switching unit of a dryer is designed to dry a drying material by selectively guiding air through different flow paths within the unit.
- The flow path switching unit includes a body portion and a flow path guide that divides the internal space of the body portion into a first flow path for drying the material and a second flow path for dehumidifying outside air.
- At one position, the unit guides air from the dryer drum towards the heat exchanger for drying, while at another position, it guides outside air into the dryer for dehumidification.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in industrial dryers, agricultural drying systems, and food processing equipment.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient drying process by controlling the flow of air within the dryer. 2. Improved dehumidification of outside air to prevent moisture buildup during the drying process.
Benefits
1. Enhanced drying performance leading to higher productivity. 2. Energy savings by optimizing the airflow within the dryer. 3. Reduced risk of mold or mildew growth on the drying material.
Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology

Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a flow path switching unit of a dryer configured to dry a drying material. the flow path switching unit includes a body portion, and a flow path guide dividing an internal space of the body portion to selectively form one of a first flow path of air for drying the drying material and a second flow path of air for dehumidifying outside air, according to an arrangement position of the body portion, and at a first position, the path switching unit provides the first flow path to guide air from a drum of the dryer toward a heat exchanger of the dryer, and at a second position, the path switching unit provides the second flow path to guide the outside air introduced from an outside of the dryer.
