Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9845653A1] Procedure for removing moisture and/or mould from a structure in a building, e.g. from a floor, wall or equivalent, in which procedure air is circulated in the vicinity of the structure to be dried and/or the structure is heated by applying periodic phases of heating and cooling to it. The structure is heated through its essential thickness using an infrared radiator (2) to a raised temperature sufficient to remove moisture and possible mould, and the surface of the structure is cooled via continuous air flushing so that the surface temperature of the structure becomes lower than its inside temperature raised by heating, with the result that the moisture in the warm structure tends to drift towards the cooler surface and is removed from the surface by the air flushing.
