Abstract: An apparatus and method for the temperature control of objects, in particular for drying coated vehicle bodies, with a temperature control chamber with at least one lock region, a fresh air device for producing fresh air which can be supplied to the temperature control chamber, a circulating air device which extracts exhaust air from the temperature control chamber and produces circulating air which can be supplied to the temperature control chamber, an air intake device for supplying air to the temperature control chamber, and a control device. A fresh air volume flow and a circulating air volume flow can be supplied to the air intake device, and the control device is configured to control the fresh air volume flow and the circulating air volume flow in such a manner that the overall volume flow which is supplied to the temperature control chamber does not fall below a lower limit.

Abstract: A device for controlling the temperature of objects, in particular for drying coated vehicle bodies, and method for controlling the device, the device having a temperature control chamber and a cooling region connected to the temperature control chamber, a temperature control device for generating temperature control air, a control apparatus, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has an outside air inlet, a hot air inlet connected to the cooling region and/or the temperature control device, and a cooling air outlet connected to the cooling region, and the control apparatus is designed to control the temperature of the outside air supplied via the outside air inlet using hot air supplied via the hot air inlet.
