Abstract
A drying device for drying of vehicles in vehicle washing systems, in particular portal vehicle washing systems, comprising a nozzle housing, which is elevationally movable in dependency of the contour of the vehicle, extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and is pivotal about a horizontal axis of rotation extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle by means of a servomotor, is being described. The nozzle housing has at least one slot-shaped outlet nozzle extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and is connected to a blower. A control acts onto the servomotor in order to adapt the outlet direction of the outlet nozzle to the contour of the vehicle. The nozzle housing can be rotated through at least 360°.
