Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006027569A1] A dryer particularly suitable for mounting above the ceiling of a bathroom comprises a casing (2) which encloses a fan (5) and heater elements (6, 7). The casing is mounted above the ceiling so that the fan (S) draws air through an inlet (10) and blows it through heating element (6, 7) into a duct (15) for return to the room. Preferably, the dryer is powered from the same electricity supply as that provided for in an electric shower. This typically has a high power rating (up to 9kW) and accordingly the heating elements (6, 7) can be high output heaters. Preferably, control means are provided for inhibiting operation of the dryer if the electric shower with which it shares the supply is in use.
