Definitions
- the present invention relates to a modular chamber dryer system for drying and / or curing the coatings, varnishes and / or adhesive layers on and / or in workpieces and for cooling the coated, lacquered and / or bonded workpieces.
- the present invention also relates to a method for drying and / or hardening the coatings, lacquers and / or adhesive layers on and / or in workpieces and for cooling the coated, lacquered and / or glued workpieces.
- High-temperature fuel cells that are operated at 650 to 1000 ° C, however, have very high technical requirements.
- the sealing technology between the gas spaces is very complex (high temperature seal).
- Conventional flat seals simply fail. Cohesive connections can short-circuit the electrodes. Therefore, special sealing materials such as glass solders are currently used for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) applications.
- SOFC Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
- Mechanical stresses during operation are mainly due to temperature differences in the cell and different thermal expansion coefficients (TEC) of the materials.
- TEC thermal expansion coefficients
- there is an increased tendency to creep or oxidation processes or high-temperature corrosion there is no indication of how to effectively and efficiently cool the hot dried items so that they can be handled again.
- the system includes an application cabin and a dryer cabin that is filled with inert gas.

- Devices 5.4 for the separately controllable supply 5.4.1 of cooling gases 5.4.3 to the cooling chamber 1.2 were attached in the vertical walls of the two side areas 1.2.8.
- the cooling gases are preferably cold, dried air 5.4.3.
- the arrangement of the nozzles 5.4.2 in the side areas 1.2.8 of the cooling chamber 1.2 were arranged in the form of uniform grids, which were to be closed and opened in such a way that the opened nozzles 5.4.2 matched the contours of the automobile body 2B.
- the hot automobile bodies 2B could be quickly cooled to 30 ° C without a large expenditure of energy and were then available for further processing in the line after a short time.
- the Figure 6 shows a front view of the modular chamber drying system 1 with a view of the inlet gates 1.1.1 of the chamber dryer 1.1.
- the chamber dryers 1.1 (and thus the subunits 1.1 + 1.2) were arranged next to one another on the standing area 7, so that functional spaces 5 are between them parallel outer walls 1.1.3.
- the automobile bodies 2A (not shown) were via the transport systems 3; 3.2 smuggled with skids 3.1 into the open entrance gates 1.1.1.
- the functional intermediate spaces 5 comprised devices 5.1 for feeding hot gases 5.1.3 into the interior space 1.1.7 of the chamber dryer 1.1.
- the devices 5.1 comprised those of the control units 6 for thermodynamic regulation of the electronically controlled throttle devices 5.1.1.1.
- the control units 6 received the measurement data from the drying chamber 1.1 as input 6.1 and processed them with the aid of customary and known algorithms and specified the controlled variables for the devices 5.1 as output 6.2.
- the throttle devices 5.1.1.1 seen in the flow direction " ⁇ " of the hot gases 5.1.3, were preceded by fans or compressors 5.1.1.2, which were also electronically controlled by the control units 6 (output 6.2).
- the devices 5.1 received the hot gases 5.1.3 from the hot gas line 5.1.3.1.
- the hot gases 5.1.3 were generated in the furnace 8, which at the same time served to post-burn the VOC-containing exhaust gases 5.2.3 from the chamber dryers 1.1.
- the furnace 8 comprised burners 8.1 with the flames 8.2, which were operated with natural gas which was supplied via the fuel supply line 8.3 and an electronically controlled throttle device 8.4.
- the hot gases 5.1.3 generated were passed via the heating gas line 5.1.3.1 through a heat exchanger 9 to the heating gas line 5.1.3.1 with the branches to the devices 5.1.
- the VOC-containing waste gases 5.2.3 were fed into the collective waste gas line 5.2.3.1 using the devices 5.2 for the thermodynamically controlled discharge 5.2.1 of thermal energy in the form of waste gases 5.2.3 (flow direction " ⁇ ").
- the quantity and the flow velocities of the exhaust gases 5.2.3 were regulated by throttling devices 5.2.2.1 and fans or compressors 5.2.2.2.
- the throttle devices 5.2.2.1 and the fans or compressors 5.2.2.2 were electronically controlled by the controlled variables of the output 6.3 of the control unit 6.
- the exhaust gases 5.2.3 were passed from the collective exhaust line 5.2.3.1 into the heat exchanger 9, in which they were heated by the hot gases 5.1.3.
- the exhaust gases 5.2.3 were to be heated partially or not at all, they could be passed around the heat exchanger 9 via a bypass 5.2.3.2 with an electronically controlled throttle device 5.2.3.3. Then the exhaust gases 5.2.3 were in the burner 8.1; 8.2 of the kiln 8 and burned their combustible portion therein. This made them part of the hot gases 5.1.3.
- each chamber dryer 1.1 of the modular chamber drying system 1 has the particular advantage that each chamber dryer 1.1 is individually and optimally adapted to the non-cured and / or non-dried coatings, Paintwork and adhesive layers of the respective workpieces 2A could be adapted, which was not possible in a drying tunnel in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
- the modular chamber dryer system 1 of the Figure 7 When viewed from the side, comprised sub-units 1.1 + 1.2 stacked on top of one another in two levels.
- the upper sub-units 1.1 + 1.2 were fastened congruently on the lower sub-units 1.1 + 1.2.
- thermally insulating and mechanically reinforced intermediate floors 11 were arranged between them (not shown).
- the upper and lower subunits 1.1 + 1.2 could be detached from one another if necessary, for example when exchanging.
- the transport systems 3 protruded horizontally and in the middle in front of the inlet door 1.1.1, so that automobile bodies 2A with non-hardened and / or non-dried coatings, paintwork and adhesive layers from the platforms 10.2 with the transport systems 10.3; 3.1; 3.2 with open inlet gates 1.1.1 and closed outlet gates 1.1.2 could be introduced directly into the interior 1.1.7 of the chamber dryer 1.1.
- the platforms 10.2; 10.3 were moved up and down with the aid of hydraulic lifting devices 10, which had hydraulic telescopic cylinders 10.1 and fixed receiving cylinders 10.1.1 and pressure build-up and pressure release systems 10.4.
- the receiving cylinders 10.1.1 and the pressure build-up and pressure relief systems 10.4 were arranged in depressions 10.5, which precisely fit for receiving the platforms 10.2; lowered to the level of the standing surface 7; 10.3, so that their transport systems 10.3 are directly connected to the transport system 3 on the stand area 7. In this position, further automobile bodies 2A could be introduced into the lower chamber dryer 1.1.
- the automobile bodies 2B with the outlet gates 1.1.2 and inlet gates 1.2.1 and closed outlet gates 1.2.2 closed were introduced into the interior 1.2.4 of the cooling chambers 1.2 using the transport systems 3.2 and 4 . Then the two gates 1.2.1 and 1.1.2 were closed and the automobile bodies 2B were cooled. After cooling, they were discharged with the exit gates 1.2.2 open with the aid of the transport system 4 and the protruding transport system 4.2 and onto the platforms 10.2; 10.3 of the hydraulic lifting devices 10 of the same type as described above, driven.
- the Platforms 10.2; 10.3 with the automobile bodies 2B were lowered to the level of the standing area 7 and the continuations of the transport systems 4.2 for the removal of the bodies 2B. After these bodies 2B had been transported away, the bodies 2B could be discharged from the lower cooling chambers 1.2.
- the Figure 8 illustrates once again on the basis of a front view of the modular chamber drying system 1 of FIG Figure 7 the feeding of the automobile bodies 2A to the upper chamber dryers 1.1.
- the modular chamber dryer system of Figures 7 and 8th had the particular advantage that the stand area 7 could be used optimally. That is to say that twice as many workpieces 2A and 2B could be processed on the same area 7 as with a one-story structure.
- the modular chamber dryer system 1 of the Figure 9 had no functional interspaces 5 between the subunits 1.1 + 1.2, but rather two adjacent subunits 1.1 + 1.2 were thermally insulated from one another by a thermally insulating partition 12. Instead of the functional intermediate spaces 5, there were functional structures 13 on the outer roofs 1.1.9 and 1.2.9 - structures 13.1 for the chamber dryer 1.1 and structures 13.2 for the cooling chambers 1.2 -. These took over the functions of the functional spaces 5.
