.~.~ Timing of application of gas or vapor to treated material based on drying variables
DEFINITION
Classification: 34/486
Timing of application of gas or vapor to treated material based on drying variables:
(under subclass 443) Process wherein the amount of time that the treating gas or vapor is applied to the treated material is regulated as a result of (a) measurements of drying parameters; (b) comparison of drying parameters; (c) calculations based on drying parameters.
(1) Note. Drying parameters are basically defined as those physical characteristics associated with the drying process whose variability directly or indirectly affect the rate of drying of a treated material.
