An apparatus for drying a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- an overhead frame, wherein the overhead frame comprises:
- at least two beams parallel to a longitudinal direction;
- a distal rod perpendicularly attached to the at least two beams;
- a proximal rod perpendicularly attached to the at least two beams, wherein the proximal rod is in the longitudinal direction of the distal rod;
- and
- at least a central rod attached to the at least two beams between the distal rod and the proximal rod;
- a first set of blowers mechanically attached to the at least two beams, wherein each blower of the first set of blowers comprises a nozzle attached to an outlet of each blower, configured to project air along a lateral side of a vehicle moving in the longitudinal direction;
- a second set of blowers mechanically attached to the proximal rod, wherein each blower of the second set of blowers is configured to project air downward;
- a third set of blowers mechanically attached to the distal rod, wherein each blower of the third set of blowers is configured to project air downward;
- and
- a fourth set of blowers mechanically attached to the at least a central rod, wherein each blower of the fourth set of blowers is configured to project air downward and in a first lateral direction.
