  2. Clothes dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothes_dryer

    An American style clothes dryer with a rear control panel A European style clothes dryer with a front control panel. A clothes dryer (tumble dryer, drying machine, or simply dryer) is a powered household appliance that is used to remove moisture from a load of clothing, bedding and other textiles, usually after they are washed in the washing machine.

  3. Steam separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_separator

    The simplest type of steam separator is the steam dome on a steam locomotive. Stationary boilers and nuclear reactors may have more complex devices which impart a "spin" to the steam so that water droplets are thrown outwards by centrifugal force and collected. All separators require steam traps to collect the water droplets that they remove.

  4. Clothes steamer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothes_steamer

    A reviewer noted that the Samsung AirDresser did not remove heavy wrinkles from suit jackets. These cabinets may have WiFi smart home connectivity. Improvised solutions Improvised low-temperature home steaming—actually using water vapour rather than true steam—can be carried out in a shower cabinet. [11]

  5. Drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying

    Drying is a mass transfer process consisting of the removal of water or another solvent [1] by evaporation from a solid, semi-solid or liquid. This process is often used as a final production step before selling or packaging products.

  6. Flash evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_evaporation

    The water is heated and then routed into a reduced-pressure flash evaporation "stage" where some of the water flashes into steam. This steam is subsequently condensed into salt-free water. The residual salty liquid from that first stage is introduced into a second flash evaporation stage at a pressure lower than the first stage pressure.

  7. Water damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_damage

    Class of water damage is determined by the probable rate of evaporation based on the type of materials affected, or wet, in the room or space that was flooded. Determining the class of water damage is an important first step, and will determine the amount and type of equipment utilized to dry-down the structure. [7] Class 1 - Slow Rate of ...

  8. Compressed air dryer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_dryer

    Desiccant dryers, sometimes referred to as absorption dryers, operate by absorbing water vapor into a porous media with a high affinity for water. [12] [13] These types of dryers are also referred to as absorption systems or getters. Because these dryers get and hold the water, they are minimally effective as a first stage dryer.

  9. Superheated steam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam

    Superheated steam was widely used in main line steam locomotives. Saturated steam has three main disadvantages in a steam engine: it contains small droplets of water which have to be periodically drained from the cylinders; being precisely at the boiling point of water for the boiler pressure in use, it inevitably condenses to some extent in the steam pipes and cylinders outside the boiler ...
