In paint booths, ventilation plays a critical role both in maintaining painting quality and ensuring occupational safety.
Air Conditioning Process
The supply air is filtered with high efficiency according to the sensitivity of the process; then, when necessary, it is subjected to heating, cooling, and humidification.
Energy and Equipment Options
- Heating: Depending on the existing energy sources of the facility, it can be carried out with hot water, duct-type natural gas burners, or electric heaters.
- Cooling: Generally provided with chilled water supplied from a chiller unit.
- Dehumidification: Achieved by the overcooling method.
- Humidification: Carried out either with the adiabatic method using high-pressure atomizers, or with steam supplied from steam generators.
Air Distribution and Control
Directing the conditioned air accurately and in a controlled manner to the painting zone is as important as the process itself. In this way, both energy efficiency is ensured and air-related contamination is minimized.
Recovery and Energy Saving
Especially in applications where robotic systems are used, a large part of the conditioned air can be filtered and reused. This approach provides significant energy savings.
