Varieties and selection of drying ovens

The drying cabinet is a steel structure (galvanized or stainless) with compartments for various wardrobe items. In such a cabinet there is a heating element, electrical equipment - it is they that make the equipment functional.

Comfort in everyday life is the dream of many owners. A drying cabinet is an excellent option for a comfortable home arrangement and interior decoration. At the same time, this is furniture and equipment for drying things.

Features of the drying cabinet:

• heating equipment in it is completely safe for the user;
• the ventilation system can be natural or forced;
• the chamber usually uses LED lighting, as well as an air ionizer and (optionally) a fragrance;
• the chamber is equipped with a drying timer and a digital thermostat;
• if power surges occur, the warning system will respond;
• you can set a delayed start of drying, time indication;
• the wardrobe is suitable for drying clothes, linen, and shoes;
• warm air is evenly distributed inside the space;
• the humidity level in the chamber can be programmed.

Obviously, this technique is gaining popularity: if the space in an apartment or house allows you to include a high-tech model in the interior, then buying a cabinet becomes objectively useful. In the air heated to high temperature indicators, things are dried, and ventilation in the chamber removes the remaining moisture without problems.

Inside there is a storage system with the most user-friendly structure... These are shelves, hooks, and racks. Depends on the system device from the manufacturer.

The base unit contains a device for controlling the machine modes and temperature parameters. The heating element and the fan heater are also fixed there. The drying compartment is represented by a chamber with direct communication with the base unit and control. The heating element, as already noted, is safe for the user: double insulation is inherent in it, which protects the parts from moisture penetration.

First of all, the choice is based on where the drying unit will be located. – in an apartment (household option) or in a non-residential building. Manufacturers even offer baby drying cabinets, which may be of interest to young parents. But more often they are the target request of the preschool educational institution.

Such models are used both for industrial and domestic purposes.... They have average parameters, dry both wet and frankly wet objects. This cabinet can be used to dry pillows and blankets. If it is an industrial cabinet, purchased for use outside the home, in production, it can be a valuable functional technique for drying work clothes, sportswear, and so on.

Universal models quite compact, but roomy... This technique is found in hotel complexes, healthcare facilities, tourist sites, gyms and many other facilities. In a word, wherever you may need a function of storing clothes with drying them.

They are used in enterprises where there is a need for quick drying of workwear. These are very spacious wardrobes. Such devices usually have 2 compartments: separately for clothes and separately for shoes. Inside the closet are removable shelves for hats, gloves, sports equipment and more.

The standard construction of this type is calculated for 8 complete sets of shoes / clothes. Of course, such a cabinet is simply irreplaceable at a construction site, in virtually any production, in the laundry of the barracks.

Since 2013, the preschool educational institution has been allowed to operate drying cabinets. They must fully comply with sanitary and hygienic requirements, as well as fire safety requirements. Furniture purchased for a preschool educational institution must have protection in the form of enclosing elements that are made of approved materials. It is noteworthy that the control panel near the cabinets is placed so that the child cannot reach it.

According to the type of ventilation system, drying cabinets differ as follows:

• the first type provides for a natural outflow of air;
• the second is a forced type of ventilation within the boundaries of the chamber.

And also the technique it happens either with a time mode or with parameters of residual moisture. Moisture is removed through a ventilation system with a branch pipe or through a condensation device with a reservoir. Of course, when purchasing a cabinet, you need to be aware that this is an electric machine. The devices are somewhat reminiscent of laboratory models (vacuum, infrared), so functionality prevails in them over design.

The drying cabinet is a metal box with a heating element and ventilation system. Modern models are equipped with a digital display and a program for controlling the temperature and humidity conditions inside the chamber itself.

Various materials are used in the production of these cabinets.

• Steel (galvanized or stainless steel). The material is known for its resistance to mechanical stress and moisture.
• The frame is made of metal pipes with stiffening ribs. It is used for industrial multi-section designs.
• The elements for filling the chamber are, as a rule, perforated shelves, as well as telescopic rods, various devices for clothes dryers, baskets and rails with a metal base.
• The developer protects the metal from air humidity. So, all surfaces of the cabinet are treated with a powder polymer material. If this cabinet is purchased for domestic use, only the inside of the chamber can be made of stainless steel.
• Between the side walls, the bottom part and the cabinet body, there is an interlayer made of polyethylene film, thermal film and a heat reflector-insulation.

The most popular model of the drying cabinet is the rectangular design, allowing the wardrobe to remain ergonomic and thoughtful in terms of organizing the usable space of the room. Of course, the size of the equipment affects the drying efficiency. The higher the structure, the better the warm air will circulate in it, the faster the moisture will be removed through the ventilation system.

However, it's hardly worth overpaying for an individual order if the standard sizes may well fit.

Dimensions of typical models:

• chamber 1840x600x640 mm;
• cabinet 1800x600x495 mm;
• universal compact model with 2 compartments - 1810x800x510 mm;
• large wardrobe 1900x1120x600 mm.

Standard model cabinet for household needs for a family of 6 should not be heavier than 60 kg, this is no longer very convenient in terms of installation and transportation. The number of camera compartments is at least 2, each of 50 cm and more.

You need to choose a cabinet taking into account the complete safety of the equipment. But you have to look at many other aspects as well. What is taken into account when choosing a drying cabinet:

• is the quality material used in the equipment case;
• Does the device have all the necessary mounting parts?
• whether there is a quality certificate for the product (without it, it makes no sense to buy such expensive equipment);
• whether all warranty documentation is in place, is there an instruction manual;
• what is the power of the model (consumed);
• how spacious is the drying chamber itself;
• how high-quality the insulating layer of the model is;
• whether the device has various options;
• whether the user can select drying modes.

When buying a cabinet, it is also taken into account how often the buyer plans to use the cabinet, whether the purchase is really advisable.

Before installing the cabinet, it is recommended to resolve the issue with ventilation. Humid air from the chamber can be discharged into the space - this option is not very good, therefore, air is provided to be removed to the general ventilation system. For this purpose, corrugated hoses and flanges are provided in the cabinet assembly.

Consider the rules for placing the drying cabinet.

1. If it is a condensing unit, it can be installed anywhere in the room. This model is not equipped with a fan, so there are no restrictions in this sense.
2. If the model is with forced ventilation, then it is located next to the general exhaust system, since moisture must be removed through the nozzle.
3. Some models of drying cabinets may have a fan located on the rear panel. In this case, part of the air is released into the room. Such a structure is not placed near a wall covered with wallpaper.
4. Household cabinets with natural ventilation have a duct that leads humid air not to the room, but directly to the street. Then the installation of the cabinet is possible against a wall with a ventilation hole. But this option is rarely applicable.

If humid air goes into the room, it should be well ventilated. And airing should be systematic. The drying cabinet can also be placed in the hallway, bathroom. Installing a wardrobe in a dressing room is also a common decision if the size of the room is conducive to it.

And that's where you should not put a drying cabinet, so it is in the bedroom, living room and nursery. The equipment does not work silently, and the structure itself rarely fits into the design of the room. If we are talking about a private house, then options for a hall, a corridor are considered; when decorating a space, for example, in a loft style, a drying cabinet may well fit into such an interior.

Like any other technique, an oven can fail. A typical problem, for example, is breakage of the rotating table for uniform air flow. Not so rarely break fans... The cause of breakdowns is usually associated with the deposition of dust, as well as wear on bearings and seals. If this situation is relevant, you need to contact the service as soon as possible: if the machine does not work correctly, the energy consumption of the machine increases.

If the equipment is under warranty, a call to service is sufficient. - the craftsmen are obliged to repair (or replace) the cabinet free of charge. If the warranty period has expired, you will have to call specialists to diagnose the problem and solve it. Often the cause of a malfunction is improper use of the cabinet, overloading it or inappropriate installation location.

From outerwear to linen, from special uniforms to leather shoes - the drying cabinet solves the problem of fast and high-quality drying, regardless of the weather and air temperature on the balcony.
