Abstract
A device for controlling the temperature of workpieces, in particular for drying vehicle bodies, having a housing, a temperature-controlling tunnel accommodated in the housing, and a temperature-controlling system for controlling the temperature of workpieces. The temperature-controlling system includes a full-space temperature-controlling device which can control the temperature of a workpiece as a whole, and a local temperature-controlling device which can control the temperature of locally delimited regions of the workpiece and which comprises multiple temperature-controlling units that can be activated and actuated independently of one another for this purpose. The full-space temperature-controlling device and the local temperature-controlling device are provided in the temperature-controlling tunnel such that a workpiece at least within an active section in the temperature-controlling tunnel can be under the influence of both the full-space temperature-controlling device as well as the local temperature-controlling device. A system and a method for controlling the temperature of workpieces are additionally provided.
