  • Patent number: 9545645
    Abstract: A paint booth or paint booth system is presented having an upper and lower portion containing a flood plane panel located at the lower portion of the paint spray booth. An annular region is formed within the flood plane panel for receipt of a metal mesh filter removably fixed within the annular region and at least partially above the flood plane panel, for filtering of paint spray booth contents. The paint spray booth may also contain a perforated plate fixed over the filter for regulating the flow of air and bulk fluid through the filter.

  • Patent number: 5284102
    Abstract: A single unit, shell and tube fume incinerator utilizes a baffle (34) structure proximate a combustion zone (24) to control the flow of combustion exhaust gas. The baffle (34) is located proximate the hot ends of a plurality of heat exchange tubes (20) to deflect the hot exhaust gases from the combustion zone (24) away from the ends of the tubes (20), and back to the outside of the tubes (20), thereby controlling the "time at temperature" for contaminants in the impure gas feed. Baffle (34) provides a slip fit around tubes (20) to permit thermal expansion thereof.
