Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing paints in a work area.
- the present device relates to a method and a device for drying water-soluble paints applied by means of spray guns in a work area.
- Solvent-based paints are traditionally used in the paint processing industry because they are easy and inexpensive to process. However, these solvent-based paints lead to considerable environmental pollution, since the solvent escapes into the atmosphere during the drying process. Although it would be technically possible to filter out the solvents using suitable filters, this leads to an undesired increase in the painting costs, since such filters are technically complex.
- the present invention therefore has the problem of providing a method and a device with which the energy costs incurred in the coating processing can be considerably reduced in comparison to previously known methods, the quality of the coating being improved at the same time.
- the above problem is solved by a method and a device according to which the air in a closed work area (the painting booth) is continuously dried.
- the air humidity in the work area is below that of the ambient air, as a result of which the water is removed from the paint to be applied even during the spraying process.
- Another advantage of the method according to the invention and the corresponding device is that particularly homogeneous layers of paint can be produced, since the continuous drying of the air in the work area not only leads to water removal in the paint, but in particular also dries the surface to be painted, ie makes water free. This leads to an increase in the homogeneity of the lacquer layer during the spraying process, since the Arrange color pigments on the surface to be painted the more homogeneous the drier it is.
- the air in the work area is dried by means of an adsorption rotary dehumidifier which has an adsorption line connected to the work area and a separate regeneration circuit.
- an adsorption rotary dehumidifier which has an adsorption line connected to the work area and a separate regeneration circuit.
- the device according to the invention has, in addition to the drying system, a circulating and / or pre-cooling arrangement which circulates and cools the air in the work area.
- the cooling of the air initially leads to an increase in the relative air humidity, but to a decrease in the dew point of the air. This allows a particularly effective, subsequent drying of the air to the desired relative humidity.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a paint processing device according to the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows the currently preferred adsorption rotary dryer which is preferably used in the drying system according to the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a Vernon curve in which the water-related corrosion rate is shown for steel.
- the device according to the invention comprises a working area 10, which can preferably have the shape of a painting booth known per se.
- a working area 10 in addition to the objects to be painted (for example motor vehicle body parts), there are also the usual spraying devices (spray guns) used in the painting industry or in small paint shops, with which the paint is applied to the parts to be painted. Since these parts are sufficiently known to the person skilled in the art, a separate illustration is dispensed with.
- the work area 10 is isolated from the surroundings in order to largely prevent air exchange between the air 5 in the work area 10 and the ambient air.
- drying system 20, 30 shown schematically, can be seen in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, it comprises an adsorption dryer 20, and a circulating and pre-cooling arrangement 30, which are described below.
- an adsorption dryer 20 is used, which is connected to the working area 10 via an adsorption line 21.
- the adsorption dryer 20 uses a continuously operating adsorption rotor 20 '(see FIG. 2), which sucks in fresh air, dries it and introduces it into the work area 10 via the adsorption line 21.
- the adsorption dryer 20 also has a separate regeneration circuit 29, which - as described in more detail below - regenerates the adsorption rotor 20 '.
- the adsorption dryer 20 according to the invention is described below with reference to FIG. 2.
- the adsorption dryer 20 consists of an adsorption rotor 20 'which is provided with axially directed air channels (not shown). These ensure a laminar flow of air through the dryer with a low pressure drop.
- the air to be dehumidified is drawn in by an adsorption fan 24 through the adsorption rotor 20 'via a pre-filter 22.
- a separately provided regeneration area is provided which removes the moisture accumulated in the rotor and releases it to the outside.
- the air passed through the regeneration circuit 29 is drawn in through the regeneration section by a regeneration fan 30, having previously been cleaned by a filter 26 and subsequently raised to the necessary process temperature by a heater 28.
- the adsorption rotor 20 essentially consists of a slowly rotating rotor made of a ceramic composite material which is permanently impregnated with either silica gel or lithium chloride.
- Silica gel is currently preferred as the adsorbent because it is physiologically harmless and insoluble in water, and as a result can neither be washed out nor discharged with the air stream.
- the described arrangement of adsorption and regeneration areas results in a continuous operation of the adsorption dryer, since the adsorption process runs parallel to the regeneration process.
- a circulation and pre-cooling arrangement 30 which has a circulation and pre-cooling circuit
- the circulation and Pre-cooling arrangement 30 provides for an air exchange in the work area 10, and optionally for a pre-cooling.
- the circulation and pre-cooling arrangement 30 can also have filter elements (not shown) that filter the air in the work area 10.
- the method according to the invention for processing and in particular for drying paints and the corresponding device have significant advantages over the known methods used hitherto, since on the one hand they make the subsequent drying of water-soluble paints with hot air unnecessary and on the other hand to a more homogeneous paint layer on the paint surface.
- the paint pigments arrange themselves more homogeneously on the surface to be painted, the drier the surface to be painted is.
- the dew point of the surrounding air must be at least 15 ° C in order to achieve an effective anchoring of the picments on the surface. If it is intended to paint steel, for example, it must be taken into account that the dry bulb temperature of the steel surface is always lower than that of the ambient air adjacent to it. This inevitably creates a cooling effect, which leads to aerosol deposition on the steel surface, even if the resulting water film is not visible to the naked eye.
- FIG. 3 represents the corrosion curve of steel as a function of the relative air humidity (the ordinate shows the increase in weight as a measure of the susceptibility to corrosion).
- Humidity of more than 60% increases the corrosion curve steeply, while rust formation no longer occurs if the humidity is below 30%. This means that no aerosol film has deposited on the steel.
- the coating is carried out at a relative humidity of less than 60%, or better still less than 30%, this enables a very homogeneous arrangement of the color pigments on the steel.
- a painting booth 10 is used which, according to the invention, is circulated with 20,000 m 3 / h or 25,000 m 3 / h air.
- the dried fresh air portion supplied via the adsorption dryer 20 should be approximately 10%.
- 2,000 m 3 / h or 2,500 m 3 / h fresh air are passed through an adsorption dehumidifier (for example, available from ARKU-Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, Olehing, Germany) and brought to a low dew point.
- an adsorption dehumidifier for example, available from ARKU-Verfahrenstechnik GmbH, Olehing, Germany
- the recirculation and pre-cooling arrangement 30 provides for pre-cooling of the air in the work area 10. If, for example, one looks at predictable conditions in summer, the following results:
- T is the temperature
- RH is the relative humidity
- W is the water load
- TP is the dew point
- the preferred embodiment described above is only to be understood as an example; other designs are possible without leaving the inventive idea.
- the adsorption dryer, circulating and pre-cooling arrangements according to the invention are arranged outside the working area 10. It is clear to the person skilled in the art that these can of course also be arranged within the work area.
- the adsorption dryer is provided as a separate element (separate from the circulating and pre-cooling arrangement).
- an integrated device can also be provided.
- the method and the corresponding device can be used not only for water-based paints, but also for solvent-based paints. If the method according to the invention and the corresponding device are used for solvent-based paints, this leads to the fact that drying by hot air, which is still necessary, can be considerably reduced; in this case it will Process according to the invention used as a predrying process.
