GENERAL INFORMATION ® Although the technology behind the Tempest dryer was significant HOT AIR enough to be awarded the GATF Intertech Award, it is by no means VS INFRARED new. In fact, thermistors have been in use for many years. They WHAT MAKES were originally used in motors and other devices as a heat ® TEMPEST WORK controller and later used in refrigeration to turn compressors on and off. It is only in the last 10 years or so that thermistors have been used as a heater. Heat is generated by

GENERAL INFORMATION IR dryers use very high temperatures and a fixed amount of electricity. One of the drawbacks of using a very hot heat source is that heat wants to travel from a very high temperature to a very low temperature. In other words, the heat generated from an IR dryer will travel to the press wall and attempt to increase its temperature because it is cooler than the heat produced by the IR dryer. Because the thermistors used in the ® Tempest dryer use lower temperatures, the heate
