  • Patent number: 10533797
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the temperature of objects, in particular for drying coated vehicle bodies or body parts, the device having a housing and a temperature controlling tunnel accommodated into the housing. A temperature controlling device for controlling the temperature of the objects using a temperature-controlled gaseous fluid comprises fluid nozzles, through each of which a jet of fluid can be dispensed onto the objects. A tunnel atmosphere can be suctioned through at least one suction opening using a suction system, whereby a base current is generated in the direction of the at least one suction opening in the temperature controlling tunnel. A convection device is provided, by means of which a convection current can be generated in addition to the base current, said convection current supporting the base current.

  • Patent number: 9958204
    Abstract: A system for treating objects includes a device for tempering objects in which a tempering tunnel having at least one air outlet and at least one air inlet is arranged in a housing. At least one heating unit, in which a hot primary gas flow can be generated, is assigned to the tempering tunnel, wherein the hot primary gas can be guided into a circulating air heat exchanger, in which air from the tempering tunnel can be heated by hot primary gas as circulating air, which can be fed back to the tempering tunnel in a circuit via the at least one air inlet. The heating unit is coupled in the manner of a combined heating and power plant to an electric generator in such a way that electrical energy is produced during operation of the heating unit.

  • Patent number: 9950335
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating overspray from the booth air of coating booths, in particular painting systems, charged with overspray. The device includes a separation unit through which booth air charged with overspray can be guided and in which overspray is separated. The separating unit is designed as an exchangeable structural unit having a filter housing, an inlet opening and a filter unit. The air flow charged with overspray can be guided via the air guiding device to the separation unit. The separating unit includes an inlet collar which defines the inlet at least in sections and the air guiding device includes a connecting sleeve, which immerses in such a manner into the inlet opening when the separating device is in operation in such a manner that said connecting sleeve is surrounded by the inlet collar of the separation unit.
