  • Engine exhaust heated welding rod drying oven
    Patent number: 6528764
    Abstract: An oven for drying welding rods that are used on electric welding equipment includes an inner oven space and an outer annular hot gas flow space around the inner oven space, the inner space being sufficiently large to accept a conventional cylindrical metal can of welding rods, adapted for feeding the hot engine exhaust gas to the annular hot gas flow space and for opening and closing the inner oven space for inserting and removing the can of welding rods therefrom and a for controlling the flow of the hot engine exhaust gas to the annular hot gas flow space so that the heat flow to the conventional can of welding rods inserted into the inner oven space is modulated and is sufficient to dry the rods by heat from the engine hot exhaust gas.
