Abstract
In a temperature control method of a photosensitive material drying device relating to the present invention, a photosensitive material is heated and dried by drying air heated by a heating device. A temperature of a member heated by the drying air is detected, and operation of the heating device is controlled so that the temperature of the member is maintained within a predetermined range. Further, a photosensitive material drying device relating to the present invention includes a heating device supplying heated drying air to an interior of a drying chamber and heating and drying a photosensitive material for which processing by processing solutions has been completed; an exhaust grill through which exhaust air, which is discharged from a vicinity of a conveying path of the photosensitive material to an exterior of the drying chamber, passes; a temperature sensor, disposed at the exhaust grill in a state in which the temperature sensor is shielded from the drying air and detecting a temperature of the exhaust grill heated by the exhaust air; and a temperature control device which controls the heating device in accordance with a temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
