Abstract

An apparatus and method for removing solvent vapors from a vehicle body utilizes a supply hood positioned adjacent a window opening of the vehicle body to supply air to the interior of the body. An exhaust hood positioned at a window opening of the body on an opposite side thereof sucks off solvent vapors. The supply air is provided at a speed and temperature such that it pushes aside the solvent vapors toward the exhaust hood.
