From humidity to heat recovery: smart control solutions for energy-efficient paint booths

Blog
Following on from my previous article , where I explored the importance of integrated control systems in managing fan speed, temperature and humidity to optimise paint booth performance, we now turn our attention to three advanced technologies that further enhance environmental control and energy efficiency. In this second part, I take a closer look at adiabatic humidification,...

Optimising paint booth performance through integrated climate and fan control

Blog
To obtain the maximum advantage from the use of high-efficiency components, the paint booth must be equipped with an automatic control system for integrated management of all the variables. The use of advanced logic to optimise the operation of high-efficiency components, such as modulating fans, direct expansion systems, heat pumps, adiabatic humidifiers, evaporative coolers, heat...

Optimizing air management in paint booths: balancing humidity, temperature, and safety

Blog
Efficient paint booth operations depend on meticulously controlling air conditions to safely remove contaminants and regulate humidity. Two primary humidification methods come into play: isothermal , which introduces water vapor at high temperatures to maintain a stable air temperature while enhancing moisture content, and adiabatic , where water evaporates at room temperature, naturally...

Highly-efficient solutions for painting: how to avoid painting defects

Blog
In the surface coating business, achieving flawless results is paramount, however it requires more than just the right paint and equipment. Proper management of airflow and humidity is essential to prevent defects that can compromise the quality of the finish and the safety of the workplace. Let’s then dive into how you can optimise every painting process and ensure better outcomes. The...

How heat recovery is managed in paint booths

Blog
Maintaining the optimal temperature set point for paint application is highly energy consuming. The use of heat recovery systems in painting processes can drastically reduce the costs of air heating and cooling , reducing the environmental impact of the processes and guaranteeing a fast payback, even lower than 1 year! The choice of the right heat recovery unit depends on the air...

Highly-efficient solutions for painting: coating phases and environmental requirements during the process

Blog
Depending on the material and the intended use of the product being painted, coating technologies and the products used can vary considerably. Wood, plastic, metals, and composite materials can be painted with liquid or powder coatings, and the products can be applied by hand or by robot, depending on the volumes and the speed of the process. Similarly, there may be several intermediate phases...

Evolution of temperature and humidity control in painting processes

Blog
Many of us will have the bad luck of finding, or worse still making, a scratch on their car door or bumper. It’s certainly not a pleasant experience, and none of us actually looks forward to going to the body shop to have it repaired. What will the experts there do? Depending on how bad the damage is, they’ll decide whether to cut and polish the surface to make any scratches less visible, or...

Can heat recovery reduce painting costs?

Blog
In the previous article we suggested how energy consumption and CO 2 emissions relating to painting processes can be drastically reduced. But why does painting require so much energy?  The cost of operating a painting booth is mostly related to ventilation, i.e. moving large masses of fresh air to remove solvents and paint particles (overspray) and ensure both worker safety and...

Why does air relative humidity affect the quality of coatings?

Blog
The application of coatings on a surface is a process that is affected by the relative humidity of the surrounding environment. The speed and intensity of the reactions that generate the protective film are dependent on air conditions. This is even more the case when using water-based paints or powder paints , which are increasingly widespread in industrial processes due to their low VOC...
