Paint Drying System

A system comprising:

• means for moving a volume of air from an inlet to an outlet;
• means for controlling said moving means to move the air;
• means for cooling bearings of said moving means during operation of said moving means;
• means for passing heated air from a plenum space atop of a paint spray booth enclosure to said inlet;
• means for filtering the heated air from the plenum space;
• means for delivering the heated air from said outlet to a plurality of locations within the paint spray booth enclosure;
• means for regulating flows of the heated air at the locations;
• means being joined to said regulating means for releasing a laminar flow of the heated air into the paint spray booth;
• and
• means being joined to said releasing means for disrupting the laminar flow to produce a turbulent flow in which an object within the paint spray booth enclosure is surrounded by the turbulent flow of heated air.

A system comprising:

• a blower comprising an inlet and an outlet, said blower being operable for moving a volume of air from said inlet to said outlet;
• a motor being operable for controlling said blower to move the air;
• a cooling unit being operable for cooling bearings of said blower during operation of said blower;
• an intake conduit being joined to said inlet, said intake conduit being configured for passing heated air from a plenum space atop of a paint spray booth enclosure;
• a filter being joined to said intake conduit for filtering the heated air from the plenum space;
• delivery conduit being joined to said outlet, said delivery conduit being configured for delivering the heated air to a plurality of locations within the paint spray booth enclosure;
• a plurality of control valves being joined to said delivery conduit at the plurality of locations for regulating flows of the heated air;
• a plurality of air knifes each being joined to a one of said plurality of control valves, each of said plurality of air knifes being operable for delivering a laminar flow of the heated air into the paint spray booth;
• and
• a plurality of comb devices, each being joined to a one of said plurality of air knifes, each of said plurality of comb devices comprising a plurality of structures operative for forming alternate rectangular openings and blockings of the laminar flow, said plurality of structures being configured to disrupt the laminar flow to produce a turbulent flow in which an object within the paint spray booth enclosure is surrounded by the turbulent flow of heated air.
