Abstract
Methods and systems for the thermo-vacuum drying and processing of objects such as clothes. A vacuum ejector driven by high-pressure steam is employed to evacuate evaporated moisture mixed with air from a dryer vessel producing an intensification of the drying process such as can significantly reduce the energy and time requirements for the drying process and increase water utilization.
Claims16
A method for thermo-vacuum drying an object, the method comprising:
- inserting the object into a thermo-vacuum dryer vessel;
- applying heat to the object in the thermo-vacuum dryer vessel to evaporate moisture from the object within the dryer vessel;
- and
- evacuating evaporated moisture mixed with air from the dryer vessel via a vacuum ejector driven by high-pressure steam.
A method for thermo-vacuum drying an item of clothing, the method comprising:
- inserting the item of clothing into a thermo-vacuum dryer vessel;
- applying heat to the item of clothing in the thermo-vacuum dryer vessel to evaporate moisture from the item within the dryer vessel;
- generating a high-pressure steam;
- and
- introducing at least a portion of the high-pressure steam into a vacuum ejector to create a vacuum evacuating evaporated moisture mixed with air from the dryer vessel.
A system for thermo-vacuum drying an object, the system comprising:
- a thermo-vacuum dryer vessel to apply heat to an object therein contained to evaporate moisture from the object;
- and
- a vacuum ejector in communication with the thermo-vacuum dryer vessel, the vacuum ejector, upon actuation, to affect evacuation of at least a portion of the evaporated moisture from the thermo-vacuum dryer vessel.
