  • the feed line L1 successively supplies the consumers 10, 20, 30 and 40 with the application agent for application to the motor vehicle bodies and/or add-on parts thereof, namely first the first consumer 10 (via connection point 1), then the second consumer 20 (via Connection point 2), then the third customer 30 (via connection point 3) and finally the fourth customer 40 (via connection point 4).
  • the return line L3 successively supplies the consumers 10, 20, 30 and 40 with the application agent for application to the motor vehicle bodies and/or add-on parts thereof, namely first the first consumer 10 (via connection point 5), then the second consumer 20 (via Connection point 6), then the third customer 30 (via connection point 7) and finally the fourth customer 40 (via connection point 8).
  • the supply system 100 can include one or more pigs (not shown in the figures) for pigging the supply line L1, the connecting line L2, the return line L3 and preferably the shut-off device 50.
  • the feed line L1, the return line L2, the connecting line L3 and preferably the shut-off device 50 have an essentially equally dimensioned and essentially constant inner diameter for letting the application agent and the at least one pig through.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 show the supply system 100 in a second operating mode, which also z. B. referred to as operating mode with application agent circulation through removal devices can be.
  • the supply system 100 and the second mode of operation are described below with joint reference to FIG Figures 3 and 4 described.
  • the shut-off device 50 In the second operating mode, the shut-off device 50 is in a closed position, so that a flow of application agent from the supply line L1 via the connecting line L2 to the return line L3 is prevented.
  • the connecting device of the first collector 10 is used to allow an application agent flow from the supply line L1 through the first collector 10 to the return line L3 when the shut-off device 50 is in the closed position, so that an application agent circulation through the first collector 10 is made possible .
  • the connecting device of the first consumer 10 is used to supply the first consumer 10 with the application agent from the feed line L1 when the shut-off device 50 is in the closed position, although no application agent is fed from the return line L3 to the first consumer 10.
  • the fourth pickup 40 and preferably the second pickup 20 and the third pickup 30 are preferably designed like the first pickup 10 and preferably function like the first pickup 10, so that the description made above for the first pickup 10 is also useful for the fourth pickup 40 and preferably the second customer 20 and the third customer 30 applies.
  • the feed line L1 successively supplies the consumers 10, 20, 30 and 40 with the application agent for application to the motor vehicle bodies and/or add-on parts thereof, namely first the first consumer 10 (via connection point 1), then the second consumer 20 (via Connection point 2), then the third customer 30 (via connection point 3) and finally the fourth customer 40 (via connection point 4).
  • the return line L3 successively returns application agents from the customers 10, 20, 30 and 40, namely first from the first customer 10 (via connection point 5), then from the second customer 20 (via connection point 6), then from the third customer 30 ( via junction 7) and finally from the fourth customer 40 (via junction 8).
  • the supply system 100 can consequently be operated in a first operating mode and a second operating mode.
  • the shut-off device 50 In the first operating mode, the shut-off device 50 is in the open position, the application agent not circulating through the removal devices A, B, C and D and the application agent can be removed and thus applied from the supply line L1 and the return line L3.
  • the shut-off device 50 In the second operating mode, the shut-off device 50 is in the closed position, with the application agent circulating through the removal devices A, B, C and D and removal and thus application of the application agent from the supply line L1, but not from the return line L3, being possible.
  • the connecting devices are integrated into the collectors 10, 20, 30 and 40 or at least mounted thereon.
  • the connection devices can also z. B. outside the customers 10, 20, 30 and 40, z. B. spaced therefrom, so that it is possible in the context of the invention that not the customers 10, 20, 30, 40 in particular, but the collection devices A, B, C and D in general can comprise the connecting means, whereby e.g. B.
  • an application agent flow from the supply line L1 via the removal devices A, B, C and D to the return line L3 is made possible, so that an application agent circulation through the removal devices A, B, C and D is made possible and/or to prevent an application agent flow from the supply line L1 via the removal devices A, B, C and D to the return line L3 when the shut-off device 50 is in the open position, so that an application agent circulation through the removal devices A, B, C and D is prevented.
