Publication number: 20040213917Abstract: The improved air booth evacuates paint spray and other particulates from the booth by altering the permeability of filter media in various zones. Adjacent to the centerline of the booth is a first zone. This first zone has the highest permeability, and thus the highest air velocity through it. A second zone is between the first zone and the side walls of the booth. The second zone can have some increased resistance to air flow, reducing the velocity of air passing through the second zone. A third zone between the side walls and the second zone can provide an intermediate level of permeability.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2003Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventor: Douglas L.
