  • the inlet area cooling air discharge chambers open 178 'at the rear in the conveying direction lying end of the inlet area 132 in a vertical Inlet area cooling air discharge shaft 230.
  • the two Inlet area cooling air discharge shafts 230 in turn lead into an inlet area cooling air - discharge duct 180, which like the inlet area cooling air discharge duct of the first embodiment with a first condensate separator 186 and a second condensate separator 188 is provided.
  • the outlet area 210 of the second embodiment also Cooling zone 100 differs from that of the first embodiment only in that the cooling air through in outlet outlet openings arranged at the lower vertical side wall regions 144 ' 232 is suctioned off.
  • Which resulting changes in the structure of the outlet area 210 of the second embodiment correspond exactly to those Changes in the construction of the lead-in area described above 132, so that a detailed description of this Changes are not necessary.
  • a cooling zone 100 also in the inlet area 132 in the second embodiment the top wall 118 '' and the upper sloping side wall areas 150 made of electrically heatable wall elements 154 and 168 formed so that even in the second embodiment Condensation on the inner walls in the upper area of the Cooling zone cabin 106 is reliably prevented.
  • the cooling air in the lower area the cooling zone cabin 106 is sucked off becomes a special favorable, indicated in FIG.
  • a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 a cooling zone 100 differs from that above described first embodiment in that instead of a electric heating of the ceiling wall and the upper sloping Side wall areas of the cooling zone cabin 106 in the inlet area 132 heating of these areas by means of them Hot gas passed through wall regions is provided.
  • FIG. 18 is the clean gas of a thermal exhaust air purification system 234 used, in which the dryer 236, in which the painted vehicle bodies 126 dried are removed through a dryer exhaust line 238 Dryer exhaust air through oxidation of the hydrocarbons contained in it is cleaned and heated.
  • the clean gas of the thermal exhaust air purification system 234 supplied to the cooling zone 100 through a hot gas supply line 240, which is on the warm side before entering the cooling zone 100 passes through a first heat exchanger 242, the cold side of circulating through a heating zone 244 of the dryer 236 Circulated air is flowed through, and a second heat exchanger on the warm side 246 passes through, the cold side of through a holding zone 248 of the dryer 236 circulating circulating air becomes.
  • Hot gas discharge line 252 After the hot gas is placed in the cooling zone 100 Has flowed through hot gas channel 250, it arrives in a hot gas discharge line 252, in which the hot gas on the warm side flows through third heat exchanger 254, which on the cold side of fresh air drawn in from the environment is flowed through, which after heating in the third heat exchanger by a Fresh air supply line 256 partially an entrance lock 258 and partially an exit lock 260 of the dryer 236 is supplied.
  • the hot gas flow described above ensures that the heat content of the clean gas of the thermal Exhaust air purification system 234 used as completely as possible before the hot gas escapes into the environment.
  • Fig. 17 differs the structure of the lead-in area 132 of the third embodiment a cooling zone 100 of that of the first embodiment in that the roof 118 '' 'and the upper sloping side wall areas 150 '' of the cooling zone cabin 106 not by electrical heated wall elements are formed, but instead whose hot gas channels extend in the longitudinal direction 108 250 include the interior 120 of the refrigerator compartment 106 facing boundary walls 263 also inner walls of the cooling zone cabin 106 and that by reinforcing ribs 265 can be stiffened.
  • the upper sloping side wall portions 150 ′′ of the third embodiment are just like the corresponding wall areas the first embodiment with nozzles 162 through which Cooling air from the inlet area cooling air supply chambers 176 blown into the interior 120 of the refrigerator compartment 106 can be.
  • the nozzles 162 are through the thermal insulation 264 separated from the hot gas channels 250 to prevent that the cooling air blown into the interior 120 by the hot gas flowing through the hot gas channels 250 is heated.
  • the inlet area cooling air discharge chamber 178 is via inlet area outlet openings 204 in the upper area of the Cooling zone cabin 106 with the interior 120 of the cooling zone cabin 106 and at its rear end in the conveying direction with the inlet area cooling air discharge duct 180 of the third Embodiment connected (see Fig. 15).
  • the hot gas channels 250 are on their in the conveying direction front ends with one in the front part of the inlet area 132 arranged hot gas inlet chamber 272 connected, in which opens the hot gas supply line 240 and in which a hot gas fan 274 is arranged, which hot gas from the hot gas supply line 240 into the hot gas channels 250 promotes.
  • the hot gas channels 250 in the ceiling wall 118 '' 'and in the upper sloping side wall areas 150 '' are at their in ends of the conveying direction through hot gas shafts 268 connected to each other so that the hot gas through the hot gas channel in the ceiling wall 118 '' 'to the rear end of the inlet area 132 and from there through the hot gas channels 250 into the upper sloping side wall areas 150 '' back in the hot gas inlet chamber 272 arrives.
  • both the hot gas channels 250 and the hot gas discharge shaft 270 open directly into the hot gas inlet chamber 272
  • the hot gas fan 274 partially pumps the hot gas into the hot gas channels 250 and partly in the hot gas discharge shaft 270, so that no additional suction fan for suction of the hot gas from the cooling zone 100 is required.
  • the interior 120 of the cooling zone booth 106 facing inner sides of the ceiling wall 118 '' 'and the upper sloping side wall region 150 ′′ of the inlet region 132 of the Cooling zone 100 by absorbing heat from the hot gas, which is conveyed through the hot gas channels 250 and the cooling zone 100 leaves through the hot gas discharge shaft 270 to one Temperature in the range of about 80 ° C to about 130 ° C heated so that the Cooling zone cabin 106 cannot form solvent condensate.
  • the shielding elements 276 preferably have the shape of a downwardly open U and are on the upper sloping side wall area 150 '', for example by welding. Basically, such shielding elements are also used electrical heating can be used.
