RECORDING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343048 titled 'RECORDING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a drying unit that includes multiple spaces, nozzles, air blowing units, a heater, and air sucking and exhausting units. The unit is designed to efficiently dry materials by blowing heated air through multiple spaces.
- First space with a first nozzle for air supply
- First air blowing unit supplying air to the first nozzle
- Second space adjacent to the first space with a second nozzle
- Heater heating air in the second space
- Second air blowing unit supplying heated air to the second nozzle
- Third space adjacent to the second space
- Third air blowing unit sucking and exhausting air outside the unit
- Air blown out from the first nozzle has a component directed towards the second space
Potential Applications: - Industrial drying processes - Food processing - Textile manufacturing
Problems Solved: - Efficient and uniform drying of materials - Energy-saving drying process
Benefits: - Faster drying times - Energy efficiency - Improved product quality
Commercial Applications: - Industrial drying equipment for various industries - Manufacturing processes requiring precise drying
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the direction of the air blown out from the first nozzle contribute to the efficiency of the drying process? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this drying unit in industrial applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
a drying unit has: a first space; a first nozzle provided in the first space; a first air blowing unit that supplies air inside of the first space to the first nozzle; a second space provided adjacent to the first space on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the first space and communicates with the first space; a second nozzle provided in the second space; a heater that heats air inside of the second space; a second air blowing unit that supplies the heated air to the second nozzle; a third space provided adjacent to the second space; and a third air blowing unit that sucks air inside of the third space and exhausts the air to outside of the drying unit. a direction in which air is blown out from the first nozzle has a component directed toward the second space in the conveyance direction.
