Abstract
Apparatus for moving moisture in moisture bearing material by disposing the material in an electrostatic field comprising a plurality of non-uniform electrostatic fields with each field having the higher intensity portion thereof substantially oppositely located relative to the higher intensity portion of an adjacent non-uniform field and at least partially extending across the material to act on at least part of the moisture thereof to move at least part of the moisture relative to the material.
Claims27
Apparatus comprising passage defining means having inlet means and outlet means with an unobstructed passage therebetween so that relatively wide and continuous trip-like material can be passed through said passage from said inlet means to said outlet means in substantially an unobstructed manner, said apparatus further comprising electrostatic means providing a plurality of non-uniform electrostatic fields each at least partially extending across said passage of said passage defining means intermediate said inlet means and said outlet means and each having its higher intensity portion substantially oppositely located relative to the higher intensity portion of an adjacent non-uniform electrostatic field whereby said non-uniform fields can act on said material as said material is passed through said passage.
Apparatus as set forth in claim wherein said passage defining means has exit means intermediate said inlet and outlet means thereof, the higher intensity portions of said fields being respectively disposed adjacent said exit means.
