Abstract: A dehumidification system is provided that includes a coil split subcooler having a plurality of splits that each include at least one circuit for removing moisture from an air flow. In addition, a system and method for modulating the capacity of a subcooler are provided whereby the rate in which moisture is removed from an air flow can be optimized.

Abstract: A method is provided for washing, drying, applying a curable coating, and effecting the cure of such coating on a variety of substrates, such as metal, for example steel, plastic and wood. A particularly effective drying procedure based on the generation of a dehumidified and filtered air stream directed substantially parallel to the wet substrate allows for a significant decrease in drying time while maintaining coating effectiveness.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for rapidly drying and curing a waterborne coating as applied by a spray gun, or other means, to a product traveling on a moving continuous conveyor track. The conveyor track passes through a drying section which uses recycled filtered air to dry the coating and then into a curing section which uses an irradiator and airflow to rapidly cure the coating. The irradiator is cooled using an air flow and a damper assembly system.

Abstract: A continuous emissions monitoring system for continuously monitoring and evaluating air flow samples from a plurality of emission sites. The monitoring system includes a microprocessor controlled Fourier transform infrared scanning laser system for identifying and quantifying compounds in the air flow samples based on known spectral absorption bands. The monitoring system also includes an auxiliary gas chromatograph for separating and analyzing compounds belonging to a common family which exhibit interference patterns or overlapping spectral bands. The auxiliary gas chromatograph is employed in cases where the infrared scanning laser system detects high levels of compounds, above a predetermined threshold level, exhibiting such interference patterns, or when an unknown compound is detected by the infrared scanning laser system.

Abstract: An automated air filtration and drying system including an energy and environmental management system for controlling, monitoring and supervising the operation and performance of the air filtration and drying system, a capture apparatus for capturing and controlling overspray, and a drying control module for rapidly drying a coated article using a continuously filtered and dehumidified flow of recycled air.

Abstract: An automated air filtration and drying system diffusor is disclosed which includes at least one pair of parallel overlapping panels to balance a flow of air in a filtration and drying system. Aperatures are located in each of the panels. The aperatures of a second panel block the aperatures of the first panel. In a preferred embodiment, air flow generated by a rotary blower includes aperatures positioned in a rotary center of the panels with openings having a greater surface area than aperatures positioned on an exterior of the panels. A greater velocity is generated by air passing through aperatures having a smaller relative opening, thus balancing or equalizing the air flow.

Abstract: An automated air filtration and drying method for uncured waterborne paint and industrial coatings are disclosed that provides for the drying of a product using recycled filtered air. In particular, a drying system is used along with a series of multistage dry-type filters to continuously exhaust contaminated air from a spray booth, filter it, remove moisture therefrom, and deliver it back to the spray booth.
