Temperature and Humidity Control
Aircraft paints can be very demanding of the application conditions. Modern paints are best applied in a narrow temperature range. Some paints prefer a moist or humid environment for application and for curing. The effect of these requirements is to design temperature and humidity control into the replacement air systems of the paint booths.
GFS is a leader at designing the most modern environments with specialized equipment and controls. These systems often have mechanical or evaporative cooling and steam or evaporative humidity generators.
Control of the temperature and dehumidification generally requires mechanical refrigeration. This is usually by chilled water or air cooled condensing unit. This is heavy industrial equipment and means a careful design of the system as well as the structural loads to be imposed on the building.
Control of humidity means the addition of water, in vapor form, to the incoming airstream of the paint booth. This type of equipment must be designed especially for the layout of the paint booth. Consideration of the loads imposed on the structure is paramount.
GFS has done more of these high-tech mechanical systems for paint booths than any other supplier. We can also work with your architect to incorporate these systems into his design for even more economy. |
