Removing moistening liquid using heating-liquid barrier
First Claim
1. A method for removing a moistening liquid from a moistened medium, the moistening liquid having a moistening-liquid boiling point, comprising:
- providing a liquid-blocking barrier having a first surface and a second surface that is impermeable to a heating liquid;
bringing a surface of the moistened medium into contact with the first surface of the liquid-blocking barrierbringing the heating liquid into contact with the second surface of the liquid-blocking barrier, the heating liquid being at a temperature greater than the moistening-liquid boiling point, such that heat is transferred through the liquid-blocking barrier from the heating liquid to the moistening liquid, thereby vaporizing the moistening liquid and removing it from the moistened medium.

Abstract
A method for removing a moistening liquid from a moistened medium includes providing a liquid-blocking barrier having a first surface and a second surface that is impermeable to a heating liquid. A surface of the moistened medium is brought into contact with the first surface of the liquid-blocking barrier. The heating liquid is brought into contact with the second surface of the liquid-blocking barrier, the heating liquid being at a temperature greater than a moistening-liquid boiling point. Heat is thus transferred through the liquid-blocking barrier from the heating liquid to the moistening liquid, vaporizing the moistening liquid and removing it from the moistened medium.
