Abstract: A hot air drying system for drying automobile bodies, comprising a drying chamber including a transport device for transporting the automobile bodies having closed bottoms, and a hot air supplying device for supplying hot air into the drying chamber to heat and dry paint applied to the automobile bodies transported by the transport device. The hot air supplying device includes hot air delivery nozzles for directing the hot air toward inside surfaces of the automobile bodies through openings of the automobile bodies.

Abstract: A device for preventing resinous condensate dropping for use in a paint drying oven. The device includes a trough extending along an upper edge of a wall opening for passage of articles under drying treatment, to receive condensates of residual tar and guide them to laterally outwardly of the articles. The trough has a slate or other water-retentive member applied to an undersurface thereof to prevent formation of condensates on the undersurface. A glass wool member is interposed between the trough and slate to act as heat insulator.

Abstract: A spraying booth comprising a spraying area defined by a ceiling and side walls. The ceiling includes top feed openings connected with a feed duct extending from a conditioner for controlling a fresh air temperature. The side walls include side feed openings connected with a blast duct for supplying air from which paint mist has been removed at mist removing devices. Fresh air supplied through the top feed openings and the mistless air supplied through the side feed openings combine to produce an advantageous atmospheric condition for a paint spraying operation.

Abstract: A cooling method and a system therefor to remove sensible heat of a whole room to be cooled installed with a cooler of an absorption refrigerator utilizing a heating medium, and to dehumidify air of the room by utilizing thermal energy of the heating medium for regenerating the dehumidifying function of the dehumidifier. The cooling system includes an absorption refrigerator utilizing a heating medium heated by solar heat, a cooler having a relatively large panel area exposed to a room, a dehumidifier for dehumidifying indoor air by utilizing the thermal energy of the heating medium heated by solar heat, and an outlet element for blowing dehumidified air coming from the dehumidifier to the cooler.

Abstract: In a method for coating an article by electrodeposition which comprises: immersing the article to be coated in a bath comprising a powder containing electrodeposition coating composition comprising a water thinnable cationic synthetic resin which is a nitrogen-containing basic resin partially neutralized with an acidic compound and a synthetic resin in the form of fine powder which is solid at a room temperature but can melt when heated;employing as a cathode, said article to be coated;and applying a voltage between the cathode and plural anodes placed in the bath,the improvement which comprises positioning the above-mentioned anodes to face the respective surface of said article to be coated and controlling the amount of coating on the respective surfaces of said article by regulating the quantity of electricity allowed flowing to each anode.

Abstract: A method for supplying powder into a coating tank for electrophoretic powder coating comprises a first step for taking out a specified amount of plating bath of which the powder contained therein is reduced as a result of coating work, a second step in which the powder of much the same amount as the reduced amount of the powder is supplied to the plating bath taken out while the plating bath is being agitated to disperse the powder in the plating bath (the first dispersion) to form supplementary plating bath, a third step including the step for second dispersion of the powder in which the powder contained in the supplementary plating bath is further uniformly dispersed and a step for aging the supplementary plating bath with the dispersed powder, and a fourth step for supplying to the coating tank sufficiently aged supplementary plating bath which is obtained from the third step and has a high density of powder which is substantially uniformly dispersed in the supplementary plating bath, and an apparatus is o

Abstract: A method for supplying binder into a coating tank for electrophoretic power coating comprises: a step for transferring into a solid/liquid separation tank a proper amount of plating bath liquid contained in the coating tank of which the binder component is reduced as a result of the work for coating a given number of articles; a step in which the plating bath liquid is left as it is so as to form supernatant liquid and residual liquid; a step for agitating the supernatant liquid in a supernatant tank; a step for returning the residual liquid to the coating tank; a step for supplying mother binder liquid corresponding in amount to the reduced binder component to a mixing tank; a step for transferring a given amount of the liquid in the supernatant liquid tank into the mixing tank; a step in which a proper amount of plating bath liquid in the coating tank is supplied into the mixing tank while being agitated to form replenisher or supplementary bath liquid; and a step for supplying the replenisher bath liquid i
