A device for controlling the temperature of, and in particular for drying, objects, in particular vehicle bodies, having a housing which integrates a temperature-control chamber that includes at least one air outlet and at least one air inlet. The temperature-control chamber is assigned at least one heating unit in which it is possible to generate a hot primary gas flow and to which it is possible to supply, from the air outlet, air that is to be heated. The heating unit includes a heat exchanger device into which the hot primary gas can be guided and in which it is possible to heat air from the temperature-control chamber using hot primary gas, which air can be supplied, as heated recirculation air, in a circuit via the at least one air inlet back to the temperature-control chamber. The heating unit includes at least a first and a second flow outlet via which heated recirculation air leaves the heating unit.

A plant for drying objects which release volatile substances may include: a drying tunnel; a conveying system configured to convey the objects through the drying tunnel; a plurality of sensors arranged along the drying tunnel; and/or a plurality of air exchange units. The sensors may be configured to measure a concentration of the volatile substances along the drying tunnel. The air exchange units may be controlled by the sensors to keep the concentration of the volatile substances in the drying tunnel below a pre-established value. A method for keeping volatile substances below a pre-established value within a plant for drying objects may include: measuring with sensors concentration of the volatile substances at points along the drying tunnel; and/or operating air exchange units, according to the concentration of the volatile substances measured by the sensors, to keep the concentration of the volatile substances in the drying tunnel below the pre-established value.

A paint baking oven comprises an oven body and a hot air supplier that supplies hot air into the oven body. The paint baking oven bakes a wet coating applied to a vehicle body while conveying the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a body exterior part and a narrow portion. The oven body is configured to include a spot baking region in which the hot air is blown primarily toward the narrow portion to locally bake a coating film applied to the narrow portion.

Disclosed herein is a device for multianalyte detection, and systems and methods for drying reagents in wells in the device in a manner that preserves functional performance. Specifically, disclosed is a system for drying reagents in the wells of a multiwell plate. The multiwell plate is sprayed with air from nozzles positioned above the multiwell plate. Air is exhausted evenly below the multiwell plate. This allows for the rapid, consistent drying of large volumes of liquid in the well of a multiwell plate.

A paint baking oven is for a vehicle body that includes a body exterior part and a narrow portion. The paint baking oven bakes a wet coating film applied to a coated surface of the narrow portion. The paint baking oven includes a heat source, such as an infrared heater, a halogen heater, an induction heater, or a hot air generator, configured to give heat energy primarily to the coated surface of the narrow portion and a heat source mover configured to move the heat source toward and away from the narrow portion.

A transport system, which is designed in particular for a dryer for drying workpieces, such as vehicle bodies, and which has a plurality of transport carts. The transport carts can be moved on a rail system in a transport direction. Workpieces can be transported by means of the transport carts. Each transport cart has a transport cart chassis. The transport cart has a fastening device, which is designed to establish a connection between the transport cart and a workpiece carrier in order to transport the workpiece carrier by means of the transport cart. The fastening device has thermal insulation, which impedes heat transfer between a workpiece carrier and the transport cart.

A device for controlling the temperature of workpieces, in particular for drying vehicle bodies, having a housing, a temperature-controlling tunnel accommodated in the housing, and a temperature-controlling system for controlling the temperature of workpieces. The temperature-controlling system includes a full-space temperature-controlling device which can control the temperature of a workpiece as a whole, and a local temperature-controlling device which can control the temperature of locally delimited regions of the workpiece and which comprises multiple temperature-controlling units that can be activated and actuated independently of one another for this purpose. The full-space temperature-controlling device and the local temperature-controlling device are provided in the temperature-controlling tunnel such that a workpiece at least within an active section in the temperature-controlling tunnel can be under the influence of both the full-space temperature-controlling device as well as the local temperature-controlling device. A system and a method for controlling the temperature of workpieces are additionally provided.
