DRYING APPARATUS

摘要

The invention provides drying apparatus (10) comprising an outer case (12), a portion of the outer case (12) defining a cavity (16), an outlet (26) disposed at a lower end (22) of the cavity (16) and a liquid dispersion unit (28), the liquid dispersion unit (28) comprising a collector (100) downstream of the outlet (26), a liquid evaporation unit (102) in communication with the collector (100) and an airflow generator (104) for exhausting evaporated liquid from the collector (100) to the exterior of the outer case (12), wherein the liquid evaporation unit (102) comprises a high frequency agitator, such as a piezo-electric device. The piezo-electric device, when in use, agitates the surface of the water and the water can be evaporated at a low energy cost.
