Implementations of UVdry's Technology
Instead of using inefficient, traditional heating elements to dry clothes, our dryer technology uses ultraviolet energy sources strategically positioned inside the dryer to dry clothes. Our more optimal designs are targeted to dry laundry faster or using less energy than standard clothes dryers commercially available on the market. We have already developed a working, rudimentary prototype, which has exhibited a reduction in energy consumption, based on testing by a national laboratory, of close to 20%. We were able to dry a load of clothes in a little over a half an hour, and are confident that eventual commercial designs can achieve 50% - 80% energy reduction. The prototype, shown in the video immediately below, uses an array of ultraviolet energy sources that directs UV energy through a transparent drum:
As for other designs, in the videos below, produced for us by Switchworks Digital Media, we feature renderings of three more variations. Please view each of these videos, "like" them, and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
This first video depicts implementation "A" of our UV dryer technology. Here, an array of ultraviolet energy sources surround a transparent drum. UV light is directed through the transparent drum and to the clothes or other fabric articles that are held within the drum, which facilitates drying of the clothes. The dryer does not rely on traditional heated coils to generate heat to dry the clothes.
This next video depicts implementation "B" of our ultraviolet dryer technology. Here, an array of ultraviolet energy sources are disposed within the drum. The UV light radiates within the drum to facilitate drying of the clothes and other articles of fabric. The inside of the drum can also be reflective (made of reflective material, or coated). This implementation also does not rely on traditional heated coils to generate heat to dry the clothes.
Implementation "C" of our UV clothes dryer technology shows arrays of ultraviolet energy sources disposed outside a transparent drum, and also disposed within the transparent drum. UV energy is directed toward clothing and other fabrics so as to dry the clothes. This implementation also does not rely on traditional heated coils to generate heat to dry the clothes.
