Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9003888A1] In a compact drying element for use in the drying section of a printer, hot blown air is produced in that a heating tube (48) is heated from the outside by an infrared radiator (66) extending parallel to said heating tube. The hot blown air reaches a blower duct (50, 60) extending parallel to the heating tube (48) over a 180 DEG bend (52). A reflector (34, 36) surrounding the heating tube/blower duct unit reflects infrared rays onto the heating tube (48) and delivers the radiation energy it has absorbed to a secondary air current (82, 84), which is mixed into the main hot air current near the outlet of the blower duct (50, 60).
