Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for drying objects are provided. The apparatus can comprise a housing configured to provide an airflow channel having an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet, an airflow generating element configured to effect an airflow through the airflow channel, and one or more radiation energy sources configured to generate infrared radiation and direct the infrared radiation toward an exterior of the housing. At least a portion of at least one of the one or more radiation energy sources does not contact the airflow channel or the airflow, thereby maintaining an operating temperature of the radiation energy source within a predetermined range.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for drying an object are provided. An apparatus for drying an object may include a first airflow channel that has an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. The apparatus may also include one or more radiation energy sources configured to provide thermal radiation toward the object. The apparatus may also include an airflow generating element configured to provide an airflow by effecting the airflow into the first airflow channel through the airflow inlet and direct a first portion of the airflow in the first airflow channel toward the airflow outlet. The apparatus may further include an airflow guide assembly configured to provide a second airflow channel through which a second portion of the airflow in the first airflow channel is guided to a target region. The target region abuts at least one of the one or more radiation energy sources.
