Abstract

The method involves subjecting the moist wash to hot air, measuring at least the temperature of the washing and finally cooling the washing if appropriate. Several temperatures of the washing are measured at least during a defined period of the drying process and a time point at which to terminate the drying process is derived from the temperature measurement values.
