Mais, dans de nombreux cas, l'humidité et la température de l'air ambiant ne permettent pas un séchage rapide, le linge reste ainsi étendu sur les systèmes d'étendage plusieurs heures voir même plusieurs jours avant qu'il ne soit totalement sec et peut dans certains cas, sentir l'humidité après de nombreuses heures passées à sécher. Cette odeur d'humidité est relativement désagréable pour du linge propre.To extend wet laundry, there are a plurality of lay-up configurations. The various known configurations of these systems are "umbrella" or "tower-type" type dryers or floor-standing dryers or wall dryers, etc. The laundry still wet, is spread on the grids of these spreading systems and left to the ambient air. But in many cases, the humidity and the ambient air temperature do not allow a fast drying, the linen thus remains extended on the drying systems several hours or even several days before it is completely dry and may in some cases feel wet after many hours of drying. This smell of moisture is relatively unpleasant for clean laundry.
Pour remédier aux inconvénients précédemment cités, et de cette façon accélérer et améliorer le séchage du linge étendu, il existe également une pluralité de dispositifs d'amélioration de séchage du linge étendu. Il est, notamment, connu des systèmes avec un séchage par flux d'air amené ou non par un conduit ramifié ou non jusqu'au linge à sécher.To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, and thereby accelerate and improve the drying of the extended laundry, there is also a plurality of devices for improving drying of the extended laundry. It is, in particular, known systems with drying by air flow brought or not by a duct branched or not until the laundry to dry.
