A vapor vent for use with an industrial washing machine that increases heat performance of the industrial washing machine by removing vapors from outside two sets of curtain structures rather than in between the curtain structures. The design of the vapor vent is such that vapors and or steam are extracted from the outer surface of the outer curtain structures proximate the openings of a conveyor type washer without extracting heat from the internal cavity of the housing unit. The vapor vent achieves this by being mounted externally from the vent cowl so as to suction vapors and or steam that have escaped the outermost curtain, outer curtain structure. This is an improvement upon the old design that withdrew vapors as well as heat from within the machine because the vent is mounted into the vent cowl and has a detrimental effect on the heat performance of the machine. The present invention saves approximately 5 to 10 degrees of heat that was essentially wasted with the old design, and therefore, the present invention increases the heat performance of the industrial washing machine. Una ventilacion de vapor para su uso con una maquina lavadora industrial que aumenta la actuacion del calor de la maquina lavadora industrial removiendo vapores de la parte externa de dos conjuntos de estructuras de cortina en vez de entre las estructuras de cortina. El diseno de la ventilacion de vapor es tal que los vapores y/o gases se extraen desde la superficie externa de las estructuras de cortina externa proximas a las aberturas de la lavadora tipo transportador sin extraer calor de la cavidad interna de la unidad de alojamiento. La ventilacion de vapor logra esto siendo montada externamente de la capucha de ventilacion de manera que succiona vapores y/o gases que han escapado de la cortina mas externa de la estructura de cortina externa.
