Abstract
An installation for the thermal drying of strips, sheets, etc., which are conveyed along a path over guide elements past dryer unit in a drying device. The installation has a cooling unit whose coolant is fed through suitable coolant lines to the guide elements in the drying zone and to the dryer units, from where the coolant is fed to a heat exchanger. The installation also has an air extractor to extract the air from the drying zone. In order to provide a space saving installation, the heat exchanger in the cooling unit is located in the vicinity of the air-extraction aperture of the air extractor, adjacent to the drying zone.
