- the outtake duct between the diffuser and confuser is equipped with a heat exchanger in the form of tubular ducts connected to the perforated bottom of the diffuser and confuser.
- Cross sections of the heat exchanger ducts can be of various shapes, beneficially round or square so that removing the overspray sediment from their internal walls was ensured.
- Numbers and cross sections of the tubular ducts must be selected to ensure the air mass flow necessary for the correct operation of the device without excessive resistance and to obtain the area of air exchange as large as possible. Amount of the air which must flow through the heat exchanger depends on the volume of the spray booth.
- the device according to the invention enables heat recovery from the exhaust air what allows for reduction of energy consumption for heating fresh air, especially in winter.
- the heat exchanger pipes can be cleaned from the depositing solid particles of the overspray. Air intake through the intake duct, where the air is not heated, during the ventilation, allows cooling the booth and objects inside faster after drying. It reduces costs of electric energy for driving fans.

Description
- A subject of the invention is a device for exchanging air with heat recovery, especially in the spray chambers but also in the other structures requiring similar methods of exchanging air, where removed hot air is polluted with solid particles precipitated on the walls of the ventilation ducts.
- The known spray booths are operated in the three following modes - spraying mode, drying mode and ventilation mode. In the spraying mode, the air in the booth is continuously exchanged through intake and outtake ducts. The air is let through the open damper and initially cleaned using the prefilter. Next the air is heated by the burner to temperature 20 - 21°C and injected to the spraying booth through the ceiling filters. The air polluted with the spray dust is exhausted from the booth through the floor channel after cleaning in the paint stop filter. The average filtration of floor filter is 93-97%.
- In the drying mode the outtake fan is off. The air in the spray booth is recirculated by closing one damper and opening another one. The first damper is not entirely closed, allowing for free exchange of 10% of the recirculated air. Temperature of the air during the drying mode is between 40 and 60°C. After the drying mode is completed the booth is ventilated to reduce the temperature inside, structural elements of the booth and a vehicle (or other details). The air circulation is the same as in the spraying mode. The difference between the ventilation and spraying modes is that during the ventilation the intaken air is not heated. There are offers of the spray booths with the devices for heat recovery, so called recuperators, in the European market. They are composed of the inlet channel connected to the chamber of the intake fan.
Inlet channel 4 is equipped with the damper in the lower part for closing the channel and with the prefilter situated at the entry to the intake fan chamber. The damper is, through the heat exchanger with the burner, connected to the channel supplying the hot air to the spray booth through the ceiling filter. The spray booth has the floor filter situated in the floor. Through the floor filter the air from the spray booth is directed through the floor channel to the outtake fan chamber and further to the outlet channel. The device is equipped with the cross-flow recuperator situated to recover the heat from the air carried away from the booth and to convey the heat to the air taken from outside to the spray booth. - Application of standard recuperators in such a solution can result in damage of the recuperators. As it was previously given, the average level of filtration by the floor filter is 93-97%, so it can be assumed that the number of particles of the overspray can reach as much as 10% of pollution before filtration. Such a situation can gradually lead to blocking the micro-channels of the recuperator with the solid particles of the overspray and there is no possibility to clean the micro-channels in a simple manner. Fouling of recuperator results is increase of the air flow resistance and decrease of the efficiency of heat exchange. In Polish patent application
