Abstract
A temperature control device for controlling the temperature of workpieces in particular for drying vehicle bodies, having a housing and a temperature control tunnel accommodated in the housing and having a tunnel floor. A transport system includes a plurality of transport carriages, which can be moved in a transport direction on a rail system, and by means of which the workpieces can be transported through the temperature control tunnel. Each transport carriage has a transport carriage chassis and a securing device for at least one workpiece, which are coupled together by means of a connection device. Each transport carriage carries a separate drive system, so that the transport carriages can be driven and moved independently of one another.
