Definitions

  • the present invention relates to workshop installations. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • a spray booth is a structure that provides a ventilated, air filtered and temperature controlled environment in which spraying activities such as painting and powder coating can take place.
  • a spray booth is necessary for the safe execution of such activities, since the sprayed materials include solvents and particulate material that must not enter the atmosphere in large quantities. The particulate material that does not stick to the article being sprayed must be removed from the spraying area to ensure safe working conditions, and to manage environmental impact.
  • a spray booth also provides a controlled supply of filtered air that aids the spraying process and leads to higher quality finishes.
  • it is very often necessary to heat sprayed materials in order to dry them (in a process known as baking), and the spray booth provides a controlled temperature environment in which such baking can be undertaken.
  • the spray booth 1 comprises a roof portion 10 from which two pairs 12, 14 and 13, 15 of side portions extend to the ground, thereby forming a closed chamber in which spraying can be carried out.
  • One or more of the side portions is movable to allow an object, in this case a car 3, to be located in the chamber for spraying.
  • a plenum 16 is formed adjacent the roof 10 by the provision of a filter element 18
  • the filter element 18 may extend across the whole of the roof portion 10, as illustrated, or may be provided across only a limited area.
  • an input air flow 20 is supplied into the plenum 16, after which it passes through the filter 18 and forms an incoming air flow 22.
  • the air flow 22 is uniform across the width of the booth.
  • the airflow 22 passes around the object 3, and forms an outgoing air flow 24.
  • This outgoing airflow 24 passes through an outgoing filter 26, into an extraction area 28, and into an extraction duct 30 which provides an extracted airflow 32.
  • the extraction area 28 is provided below the object 3 being sprayed, and typically extends below the ground surface of the location of the spray booth 1.
  • the input airflow is provided by air handling equipment, such as that shown for illustrative purposes in Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings.
  • the air handling equipment 40 of Figure 3 comprises input ducting 44 which guides air 42 into the equipment from the atmosphere.
  • a fan unit 46 is provided for drawing in the air 42, and for moving the air via ducting 47 to a heater 48 which operates to heat the air to a desired temperature.
  • the temperature controlled air 20 is then provided to the spray booth via ducting 49.
  • Air extraction from the booth 1 is provided by air extraction equipment, such as that shown for illustrative purposes in Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings.
  • the extracted airflow 32 is drawn through ducting 50 by an extraction fan unit 52.
  • the airflow passes through a further filtration unit 54 before exiting to atmosphere 58 via further ducting 56.
  • the spray booth 1 of Figure 1 and 2 and the air handling equipment of Figures 3 and 4 has been described by way of example and illustration only, and it will be readily appreciated that the design and construction of a spray booth can vary.
  • the input and output air handling equipment can be combined to reduce the number of fan units and reduce the heating requirements by using recirculation of air.
  • spray booth can be applied to a booth of any scale for enabling spraying of objects of any size.
  • one spray booth could be provided for the spraying of small components, whilst another could be provided for the spraying of aircraft, or wind turbine towers.
  • the specific design requirements of each application will determine the size and specification of the spray booth and the equipment, but the principles remain the same as for the automotive booth described above.
  • a body shop which repairs and repaints cars and other vehicles, may have the need for several spray booths to enable multiple jobs to be carried out at any one time.
  • a workshop installation comprising a first spray booth for providing a controlled environment for spraying of particulate material, the first spray booth comprising a roof portion, first and second end portions which extend from respective opposing ends of the roof portion, first and second side portions which extend from respective opposing sides of the roof portion, thereby defining a work space between the roof portion, the end portions and the side portions, the first and second side portions each defining an opening therethrough, and each including a movable member having a first position in which the opening is closed, and a second position in which the opening is substantially open, an air extraction unit operable to extract air from the work space, and comprising a fan unit mounted on the roof portion, an air outlet connected with the fan unit, and arranged for connection to an air outlet chimney, extraction ducting extending from the fan unit to inside the work space, and an extraction filter located on the extraction ducting, and air input equipment operable to input an airflow into the work space via the roof portion, the roof portion defining
  • the first spray booth comprises a plurality of such air extraction units located in respective corners of the first spray booth, each such unit being connected with the air outlet.
