Abstract
A painting apparatus having a booth with a painting room for defining a path having a U-shaped configuration wherein a front painting zone and a rear painting zone are adjacent each other in the legs of the path. An intermediate zone is located at the bight of the U-shaped path. An air supply and exhaust system is provided for the zones. A duct to the front and rear zones does not interfere with a duct to the intermediate zone. An exhaust system re-circulates the air in the intermediate zone and includes a solvent adsorber and a total heat exchanger upstream in the direction of air flow for adsorbing solvent and recovering sensible and latent heat.
