Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 5 and a device for performing the method according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • the sterilization of clothing is also a problem because sterilization cannot be achieved either with washing in known washing machines or with a tumble dryer is.
  • DE-PS 33 43 236 a method for drying and sterilizing, in particular sensitive tissues, is known, wherein both the drying and the sterilization of the tissues are carried out in the same treatment room in a hanging, essentially unmoving state and the sterilization immediately afterwards drying is carried out, the tissue first being dried in a known manner using a warm air stream and then the sterilization being carried out in a hot air stream.
  • the device for performing the method according to DE-PS 33 43 236 comprises a drying cabinet with devices for hanging tissue parts and with means for generating, distributing and in particular circulating hot air and hot air, which have a blower and a heating unit, the blower being a Known device for adjusting the amount of the conveying air flow with a speed changeover device in at least two stages and the drying cabinet has an overheating switch which controls the heating register and can be switched off.
  • the heated air flow is passed through a second intermediate space, which is formed by the inward-facing wall of the first intermediate space and the wall of the interior, and that the heated air flow is passed through a plurality of openings in the inward-facing wall of the second intermediate space delimiting the inner space is guided into the inner space.
  • the air stream emerging from the interior is guided over a condenser and then sucked in by the blower.
  • the condenser acts in a manner known per se as a cold trap, ie the moist air is cooled on the condenser walls until the dew point is undershot, the separated water being collected in a drip tray.
  • the air flow sucked in by the blower is pressed into the interior through the second intermediate space in such a way that the air flow is moved in a closed circuit.
  • the drying process can be monitored in a manner known per se by a moisture sensor.
  • the air flow is moved continuously by periodically switching the fan on and off or by periodically changing the speed.
  • the first intermediate space has at least one air inlet opening formed in the upper region of the drying cabinet, that the heating device, the blower and in some cases additionally the condenser in the region are arranged below the interior and that the openings are provided in two opposite walls of the interior, there is a largely dust-free air not drawn in near the floor and good stability of the device due to a low center of gravity.
  • the air flow which is favorable for the method is ensured with air flows flowing towards one another from two sides.
  • the condenser can be cooled by an air flow which can be generated by a second fan.
  • an air flow is required in a particularly elegant manner, which flows through the condenser as a coolant before it is heated.
  • the drying cabinet can have a device for spraying in a bactericidal liquid and, in some cases, an additional ozone generation chamber.
  • a generally box-shaped drying cabinet 10 has an interior 11, which is formed by a first intermediate space 13 and a second intermediate space 17 is laterally delimited. In the upper area of the drying cabinet 10, two air inlet openings 12 are arranged.
  • an air outlet opening 14 is visible as well as a blower 15 which can be driven in a controllable manner by a motor arranged underneath.
  • a heating device 16 is arranged, through which the air flow is forced.
  • the example shown is an open run, which e.g. is suitable for detoxification and sterilization.
  • the exhaust air is expediently led outside through a hose connection.
  • FIG. 2 shows a drying cabinet 10 'with an interior 11, a first space 13 and a second Gap 17.
  • the blower 15 is connected to a heating device 16 so that the air flow drawn in by the blower 15 is pressed through the heating device 16.
  • FIG. 2 also shows a condenser 18 through which a second air flow (not shown) flows as a coolant, this second air flow being moved by a second fan 19. Air inlet and outlet openings for the second air stream are located in the lower region of the drying cabinet 10 'and are not specially marked.
  • the air flow is moved in a closed circuit according to the arrows A to E, the air inlet and outlet openings for this air flow being closed for the time the process is carried out.
  • the circuit shown is particularly suitable for drying tissue parts, but also for detoxification, with some of the pollutants also being condensed and thus being able to be removed from the air.
  • FIG. 3 shows the same drying cabinet 10 'as shown in FIG. 2; the process example in this case is an open flow of air without actuation of the heating device, the example being particularly suitable for vigorous ventilation of the fabric parts arranged in the interior 11.
  • the air flow is moved according to arrows A to G '.
  • the air flow enters the condenser 18, flowing through it as in the example according to FIG. 2, is drawn in by the fan 15 according to B and pressed into the second interior 17 according to C by the heating device 16 which is not switched on.
  • the air flow flows through a plurality of openings, only a few of which are indicated at D, into the interior 11, from where it enters the condenser 18 according to E and exits according to F and is sucked in by the second fan 19 and after G ' is pressed outside.
  • the fans 15 and 19 act like a tandem on the same air flow and thereby increase the movement.
  • the air flow flows through the condenser 18 first on the side provided for the coolant and later on the other side.
