PAINT SPRAY BOOTH AND SUPPLY PLENUM ARRANGEMENT

摘要

An air supply plenum for a paint spray booth (20) includes a housing with separating walls (40, 42) positioned between the ceiling (28) and a filter support panel (30) of the plenum housing. The air flow supplied to the paint spray booth area (56) is divided by the walls into three distinct flows: (1) a central flow air, through which the article (36) to be painted travels in the paint spray booth; (2) two outer greater flow areas where the operators and/or equipment (37) for applying paint to the article to be painted are located. Filters (38) are positioned in the supply plenum arrangement adjacent and above the filter support panel separating the plenum and paint spray booth. The filters run longitudinally along the length of the plenum and between the separating walls. The positioning of these filters in this manner minimizes the amount of turbulence of the flow provided to the spray paint booth.
