Definitions

  • This invention relates to drying and curing ovens which effect rapid and uniform solvent evaporation and curing of varnish films, particularly on hollow or irregularly shaped objects.
  • the rate of entry of objects into the oven can be controlled in order progressively to flash evaporate most of the solvent in the coating of the objects as they enter the oven, thereby ensuring uniform cure of the varnish medium and avoiding building up a dangerous concentration of solvent vapor within the oven.
  • a drying and curing oven for varnish or lacquer coated articles comprises an inverted compartment of any desired cross-sectional shape through which heated air is circulated by entry into the heating compartment via a space around all or part of the periphery of the base and wherein exhaustion is effected via one or more ducts located on the top of said compartment.
  • the base of the oven is open and circulation, temperature, and venting conditions are balanced so that articles or objects may be progressively raised into the oven compartment without that balance being disturbed.
  • the heating source for the air is by direct combustion
  • ventilation by means of convection ducting or fan also located in the top of the oven in addition to recirculation of the heated air, may be incorporated in order to compensate for the entry and expansion of gaseous combustion products.
  • a mixture of air from impeller I, and diesel fuel from pipe 2 is ignited in tube 3 so that the flame emerges into the venturi chamber 4 where it meets the stream of circulating air from an annular space 5 impelled by fan 6.
  • the mixture of heated air and combustion products is introduced into the bottom of an oven 13 after passing down a space or duct 19 formed between the inner and outer walls 7 and 8 of said oven.
  • This mixture is withdrawn by said fan 6 from one, or preferably two or more exit ports 9 and 10 in the top wall of the oven and continuously recirculated.
  • additional ducting ll incorporating an exhaust fan 22 is also incorporated in the top of the oven chamber.
  • This ducting also incorporates an adjustable damper 12 or the like, in order to control the rate of ventilation and thereby facilitate achieving a state of balance at the open base of the oven 13.
  • the oven 13 is supported by suitable means, such as legs 14 above the floor to permit entry of the objects to be heated.
  • Objects may be either hoisted into the oven by means of a chain 15 or chains winched at 16 from above the oven roof, or raised into the oven by mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic means, for example by a hydraulically operated and elevated table 17.
  • the raisable tackle itself may be of open construction.
  • the heated air may be introduced into the oven chamber by exterior ducting this is not desirable, on the grounds of thermal efficiency. Entry countercurrently by way of the space between the exterior and interior walls 7 and 8 is preferred. This space may completely surround the interior vertical wall 7 or it may be limited to spaces between opposite exterior and interior walls. Likewise, if the oven chamber is of circular section, the space may be annular or confined to the peripheries of opposite sectors.
  • the object of the venturi chamber 4 is to prevent interference with the flame when direct heating is employed, for example by creating back pressure or blowing the flame out.
  • the design of the venturi chamber 4 may be varied according, for example, to the position of the fan.
  • deflector rims 20 or louvers are incorporated along the periphery of the orifice of the duct 19 at the inlet edge of the inner wall of the oven.
  • adjustable dampers as at 12 may be incorporated into the spaces between the interior and exterior oven walls 7 and 8. It should be understood that for thermal efficiency the oven and circulatory ducting should be adequately lagged.
  • a drying or curing oven for varnish or lacquer coated articles comprising, in combination:
  • a compartment having I. double upright walls, the inner one of said walls bounding an oven chamber downwardly open to atmosphere surrounding the r (en, the outer and inner walls defining therebetween first duct means for supplying a gas to said chamber, said duct means having orifice means extending about the downwardly directed open side of said chamber for discharging the supplied gas, and
  • second duct means extending from said top wall and communicating with said chamber for exhausting gas from the same;
  • deflecting means along said inner wall adjacent said orifice for deflecting said supplied gas and for thereby minimizing turbulence at said open side;
  • damper means in one of said duct means for controlling the flow of gas through said chamber between said first and second duct means and for thereby achieving a state of balance in the gas at said open side;
  • heating means for heating the gas supplied by said first duct means
  • recirculating means for returning a portion of the exhausted gas to said chamber.
