Traditional drying methods mainly rely on electric heating or single-path hot air circulation systems, which have the following problems: hot air after a single heating cycle is directly discharged, failing to fully utilize residual heat, resulting in energy waste and high operating costs; the single hot air circulation path in traditional drying ovens easily leads to uneven temperature distribution within the oven, affecting product quality; if the gas heater's combustion structure is not optimized, it may result in incomplete combustion, producing harmful gases or carbon deposits, affecting equipment lifespan and environmental friendliness. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heater to work in conjunction with tunnel drying ovens to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
