Abstract

A process and an apparatus for rinsing and/or drying articles that have been subjected to a washing process. The articles are rinsed in an enclosure from which air and dust have been removed, by filling the tank (1) with a rinsing liquid and expelling the air from the tank (1). The rinsing liquid is then slowly drained while a flow of hot vapor is admitted into the tank (1) and condensates over the surfaces of the articles progressively emerging from the descending liquid. A vacuum is then created within the tank (1) causing the boiling of the liquid film covering the articles until they are completely dry. <IMAGE>
