Abstract
A paint spray booth, which can also be utilized as a paint drying oven is disclosed and is especially suitable for use in businesses, such as automobile repair shops, to both paint and quickly bake the paint so that the number of automobiles that may be handled in a given time is increased significantly. The booth-oven comprises an enclosure which has a single air supply fan for moving air though the booth-oven. Preferably, the booth-oven has, in addition to a direct heater, a heat exchanger for more economical operation, and/or may be provided with an air recirculating system for additional savings. The booth-oven is structured so that paint laden air generated during the paint spraying operation is routed around or away from the heat exchanger.
