ABSTRACT:
An air distribution system of a car wash air blower system is provided for directing air to a vehicle travelling along a predefined path using an air producer mounted on each side of the path for producing flowing air. An air distribution system associated with each air producer directs air along a plurality of predefined routes from the air producer to a plurality of locations along the path. The predefined routes are substantially symmetrical about a vertical plane containing the vehicle path. Nozzle assemblies are attached to the distribution system at the ends of the predefined routes for directing air toward a vehicle travelling along the vehicle path. The air producer completely encloses a fan and drive motor. A pivoting hinge hinges a first section of a duct relative to a second section of a duct. The first hinge section is pivotally secured to the second hinge section in a manner allowing rotation of the second hinge section about a defined axis of air travel. The two hinge sections are secured by a frame mounted in the air flow path to the hinge sections. A nozzle directs a stream of air toward the surface of a vehicle positioned adjacent to the nozzle. The nozzle includes a curved plenum portion formed of a flexible webbing and having a generally triangular shape. Nozzle openings are formed of two offset rows protected by ridges formed in a rub pad extending along the rows of openings.
