Abstract
A combined pressure washer and pressure dryer or blower unit, whereby the functionality of both is combined into a single unit. This combined unit has many commercial and domestic benefits, from a domestic viewpoint, the unit could be used to wash motorcycles or cars, and immediately afterwards be utilised to dry the machine/vehicle and force pooling water from recesses, thereby improving the efficiency, both time-wise and technically, of cleaning a domestic vehicle, and preventing minor injury when compared to using a chamois leather (eg. reaching into narrow/sharp recesses). The pressure blower facility could be provided either by utilising the flowing water to enhance energy conservation/efficiency or being directly powered via electricity.
Description
PRESSURE WASHER / DRYER (BLOWER) The background to this application is
that I am a motorcyclist and each and every week I have the task of washing my motorcycle (or car for that matter).
In order to do this I use a domestic pressure washer unit, numerous makes of which are already available to buy (eg. Karscher).
However, the problem arises when it comes to actually drying the machine or car.
Historically, people including myself have utilised a chamois leather. The problem with a chamois leather is difficulty getting into all of the nooks and crannies' to get at the pooled water in recesses, sometimes actually causing minor injury in doing so.
I hit upon this idea after using a garden vac (set on blow) to blow the excess water from my motorcycle -not very efficient but better than a chamois leather.
My idea (invention) -a pressure washer which incorporates a pressure dryer (blower).
This is a large development of the pressure washer concept which takes it beyond the scope of any standard pressure washer patent, and as far as I am aware no such single unit exists at present time.
The unit could be used for a large number of commercial and domestic purposes, providing the facility of drying the seni i,mcdiatcly at'terwuds, at lea5t &spcrsing any pooled or excessive water (or other fluid).
In mind, I have the basic idea of as the unit is being used initially as a pressure washer then the water flowing through the unit could drive a compressor, thereby initially charging' the compression chamber. When the unit is then used as a pressure dryer, compressed air is available from the outset, backed up by electrical power to the compressor. Either function could be selected via a simple switch.
This is just a theoretical concept of how the unit may work, but my application is not based on the specific operational detail, but more on the concept of a combined high pressure washer incorporating a high pressure drying (blowing) facility.
