ABSTRACT:
A textile drying system is presented which draws in a quantity of air from an external space substantially equal to a quantity of air exhausted to the external space. The textile drying system includes one or more textile drying appliances (i.e., dryers) and a single air handling unit. Each dryer has an air input port and an air output port. During use, the single air handling unit provides a first quantity of air from a space outside a room in which the one or more dryers are located to the air input port of each dryer. A second quantity of air is exhausted through the air output port of each dryer to the space outside the room, wherein the second quantity of air is substantially equal to the first quantity of air. As a result, the textile drying system does not draw air from, or provide air to, the room in which the textile drying system is located. When the room is adjacent to a clean room, the textile drying system does not create a vacuum which may disturb a vertical laminar flow of air within the clean room. The textile drying system is thus suitable for installation in a laundry room located within or adjacent to the clean room.
