Abstract
A dryer includes a pressure plate and a plurality of heating bulbs configured to emit short wave infrared radiation. A hood of the dryer is coupled to an exhaust vent and a fan. One or more sensors of the dryer measure a drying parameter corresponding to at least a portion of an article to be dried. One or more sensors in the exhaust vent monitor the air being drawn from under the hood and through the exhaust vent. A controller receives data from at least one of the sensors, and uses the data to regulate operation of each heating bulb independently of other heating bulbs of the dryer.
