Does a Heated Paint Booth Come with Heat Recycle or Heat Recirculation?

Heated paint booths do not necessarily come with heat recycle or recirculation. However, it is standard in Accudraft paint booths. Heat recycle or recirculation is a method of bringing the exhausted air back through the heating unit so the heated air is not wasted and helps heat the newly heated air. The results are faster cure times and less fuel usage. When it comes to energy efficiency, the bigger the paint booth, the bigger the argument for a paint booth with heat recycle.

If you’re considering other manufacturers, be on the lookout for products with “air recirculation” or “air mixing” or “air slow down.” These are key phrases that indicate the brand does not carry the proper certification to truly recycle heated air.
