ilmakuivattuihin
Ilmakuivattuihin, literally meaning “air dryers” in Finnish, refer to devices used for drying textiles and other materials by means of warm air convection or forced airflow. These appliances are common in industrial laundry facilities, commercial kitchens, and household washing machines equipped with a tumble dryer function. The basic operating principle involves heating air to a temperature typically between 45 and 60 °C and circulating it through a drum or chamber containing damp fabrics. The moisture evaporates into the air, which is then exhausted or recirculated, allowing the items to dry within a comparatively short period.
Historically, mechanical air drying emerged in the early 20th century with the advent of electric heating elements
Key advantages of air dryers include faster drying times compared to passive air drying, reduced water usage,
