Abstract
A drying apparatus includes a body, an air inlet, a flow generator to receive inlet air from the air inlet and generate an airflow, an air outlet at the body for exhausting the airflow from the flow generator, the air outlet extending along a vertical height of the body, and an outlet airflow steering mechanism operable to control a lateral extent of the airflow from the air outlet. A controller is configured to operate the outlet airflow steering mechanism to control the lateral extents of the airflow from the air outlet.
