How Car And Truck Spray Booths Can Minimize Energy Consumption

By Dennis Wallace


Automotive repair and remodeling enthusiasts require spraying technology for efficient finishing of their products. A hand spray is mostly used for small fixes. However a spray booth is a must-have for industrial use. The equipment is highly efficient in doing the automobile paint job. The downside is that it consumes a lot of energy to complete its functions. Owners of car and truck spray booths must consider the options available to curtail energy wastage in the process for them to realize maximum profits.

Air re-circulation is among the most efficient methods to minimize the energy consumption of the appliance. Most of the appliances require an additional air conditioning unit for standardized air supply. Notice that the air conditioner also has energy demands to function. In this light, re-circulation of air ensures that the there is no need for an AC. Heat loss is reduced and an unnecessary consumption of energy is also managed.

Use a variable frequency drive. In motor driven parts and the fans, a variable frequency drive minimizes the energy consumption by matching the motor output closer to the load. The systems ensure that the booth fans are faster. This way, the air circulation is increased. In turn, increased air supply compensates for air loss when the doors are opened. Also, variable frequency drives allow for soft starter capabilities. In this light, wear on fan belts is curtailed.

The process of automobile painting is complex. There are several procedures that one may have to take the car parts through to ensure that the job is well-done. However, there are installations that allow for reduced procedures. Some booths require that one layers the coat of paint in one go. Others demand that every coat must dry before another is applied. Reduced processes help minimize the energy consumption.

Create fuel from the bi-products of the process. Manufacturers and spray booth operators and art garages must consider alternative methods of using the heat generated from the process. There are mechanisms where the energy can be redirected into the system to power a different function in the garage.

Maintenance of the equipment is mandatory. Efficacy of the equipment minimizes energy loss. Check the piping and pressure tubes for leakage. Also clean the vents and the filters. Replace the sieve if the filter is worn out. You can run energy diagnostics to establish the best course of action to manage the wastage point.

Consider the use of technology to increase controls of the appliances. Choose a programmable system to ensure that you achieved the intended results of the job. Programmable systems allow for prior programming and setting. Another efficient method of energy management is equipment using adiabatic humidification.

Automotive spraying cubicles are high energy consumers. Individuals using the equipment are guaranteed good services and finished products. To manage the energy use of the equipment, users must consider installing variable frequency drives to run some of the electrical components. Also, they must consider recycling the air within the booth during the process. Also, up-cycling energy into other parts of the equipment can be used to minimize energy loss.
