  • Patent number: 11235737
    Abstract: A temperature control apparatus for controlling the temperature, in particular for the drying, of objects, in particular vehicle bodies, having a housing, in which a cooling zone having a cooling chamber that defines a longitudinal direction is accommodated. The cooling chamber is assigned at least one cooling-air temperature control device, by means of which temperature-controlled cooling air can be produced, which can be fed to the cooling chamber. In the longitudinal direction, the cooling zone comprises a supply chamber on one longitudinal side of the cooling chamber, in which supply chamber the cooling-air temperature control device is arranged.
    Type: Grant

  • 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.
