  • Patent number: 10982901
    Abstract: A drying system includes a nozzle attached to an air supply duct of a drying chamber that blows out heated air inside the duct toward an object to be dried inside the chamber. The nozzle includes a horn-shaped inner-side surface made of pairs of first and second inner-side surfaces that respectively face each other in first and second directions, an opening width of the second surfaces in the second direction gradually increasing forward in a direction in which the air is blown and being 2 to 25 times inclusive larger than an opening width in the first direction. The drying system includes: the duct with the nozzles; a feeding device feeding air to the duct; and a heating device heats the fed air. The feeding device feeds air to the duct such that the air blown out from the nozzle spreads more in the first direction than in the second.
