Abstract
Apparatus for drying fabric and yarn includes a plurality of dry cans for transferring heat to the material and elongate tangential blowers parallel and adjacent to the dry cans to circulate air at the surfaces of the dry cans. Each tangential blower has an outlet having a length substantially equal to the length of the dry cans and in substantial alignment with the dry cans, as well as a width extending over a substantial arc of the tangential blower. The tangential blowers also include tangential blower wheels with axial vanes extending substantially the length of the tangential blowers and the dry cans, and inlets extending over substantially the same length as that of the dry cans. The tangential blowers are pivotally mounted so that the orientation of the outlets can be adjusted. In an alternate embodiment, a heating coil is positioned at the inlet of the tangential blowers to heat the air entering the tangential blowers.
