Vehicle treatment apparatus that emits air and water

A vehicle wash system in a vehicle wash facility having a vehicle treatment area extending between an entrance end and an exit end in a direction of travel, said vehicle wash system comprising:

• a vehicle wash component including:
• a frame portion;
• a blower portion disposed on the frame portion, the blower portion having a housing, an inlet opening formed in the housing for receiving air therethrough and a plurality of air outlet openings formed in the housing for emitting air onto a vehicle exterior;
• a first manifold portion disposed on the frame portion, the first manifold portion having an inlet configured to receive a supply of a first liquid and at least one first liquid outlet opening configured to emit the first liquid onto the vehicle exterior;
• a second manifold portion disposed on the frame portion adjacent to the first manifold portion, the second manifold portion having an inlet configured to receive a supply of a second liquid and at least one second liquid outlet opening configured to emit the second liquid onto the vehicle exterior;
• wherein the blower portion, the first manifold portion and the second manifold portion are disposed on the frame portion in spaced relationship with one another in the direction of vehicle travel and are configured to be connected to a control system to emit air and the first and second liquids onto the vehicle exterior simultaneously.

A vehicle wash system in a vehicle wash facility having a vehicle treatment area extending between an entrance end and an exit end in a direction of travel, said vehicle wash system comprising:

• a frame portion disposed adjacent a vehicle treatment area;
• a first side treatment portion coupled to the frame portion, the first side treatment portion including a first blower portion, a first side first manifold portion, and a first side second manifold portion;
• the first side blower portion including an air inlet, a plurality of first side air outlet nozzles, and an actuator configured to draw air into the first side blower portion through the air inlet and emit air out the plurality of first side air outlet nozzles;
• the first side first manifold portion including a fluid inlet and a plurality of first fluid outlet nozzles configured to emit a first fluid under pressure;
• the first side second manifold portion including a fluid inlet and a plurality of second fluid outlet nozzles configured to emit a second fluid under pressure;
• wherein the first side first manifold portion, the first side second manifold portion and the first side air outlet nozzles are spaced from one another in the direction of travel;
• and
• wherein the first side blower portion and the first side first manifold portion are configured to communicate with a controller in order to simultaneously emit air and fluid onto a side vehicle exterior surface.
