Abstract
The disclosure relates to a paint system for coating components with a coating medium, in particular a painting system for painting motor vehicle bodywork components with a paint, comprising at least one pneumatic pump for circulating paint in the system. The pneumatic pump includes a feed air connection for feeding in a feed air stream for mechanically powering the pump and an exhaust air connection for conducting away a depressurised, cold exhaust air stream. The cold exhaust stream passing through a first heat exchanger where the heat exchanger cools a medium in a cooling circuit and the medium cools a heat-sensitive component. The heat sensitive component can be the paint circulation lines or a protective housing for the robot.
Claims10
A paint system for painting components with a paint, comprising:
- a plurality of pneumatic pumps, the pneumatic pumps configured to supply a plurality of paints having different colours, the pneumatic pumps all having a feed air connection to provide a feed air stream for mechanically powering each pump, and each pump having an exhaust air connection for conducting away a depressurised, exhaust air;
- a first heat exchanger that receives the depressurized exhaust air;
- the heat exchanger cooling a medium in a cooling circuit;
- a heat-sensitive component that is cooled by the cooling circuit wherein the heat-sensitive component communicates with a paint robot for coating components with paint.
