A method and an appliance are disclosed for the non-thermal drying of articles, in particular motor vehicle bodies, freshly painted with a water-based paint. The articles to be dried are subjected to dry air by forced convection in a drying tunnel and the moisture-laden air is dried in an air drying device by condensation to a specific target value of absolute residual moisture. So that fluctuations in the incidence of moisture can be leveled out with a low degree of inertia, with the high condensation performance remaining unchanged, only a fraction of the circulated air which is adapted in size, as required, is dried in the air drying device to a residual moisture markedly below the circulating-air target moisture, and the remaining untreated part of the circulated air is led back into the drier housing after being intermixed with the dried part-air stream.
Method for the non-thermal drying of motor vehicle bodies, freshly painted with a water-based paint, in which the articles to be dried are introduced into a drier housing, the surfaces of the articles are subjected to dry air in the drier housing by forced convection and, after the paintwork has dried, the articles are discharged from the drier housing, after the air has passed through the drier housing the moisture-laden air being sucked away from the drier housing, the moisture contained being extracted from said air in an air drying device by condensation and the air thus being dried to a predetermined circulating-air target moisture and being blown into the drier housing again,
Appliance for the non-thermal drying of a water-based paint freshly applied to motor vehicle bodies, comprising:
A method of non-thermal drying of freshly painted vehicle bodies comprising:
Apparatus for non-thermal drying of freshly painted vehicle bodies, comprising:
