PAINT DRYING METHOD AND APPARATUS Abstract of the Disclosure A high-efficiency system for drying solvent-based paint coatings on articles, with mimimum fuel requirements and pollution-free emis- sions, comprises a paint drying oven in which the painted article is dried in a heated atmosphere which is maintained substantially oxygen-free or inert so as to be above the upper explosion limit at all times during the drying process. The combustible solvent vapors which evaporate from the paint coating during the drying process and are contained in the flue gases exhausted from the oven are conveyed into and incinerated under stoichiometric conditions in a rich fume incinerator, containing auxiliary gas-air pilot burners also operating under stoichiometric conditions, to produce substantially oxygen-free nonpolluting inert gaseous combustion products at least a part of which, after cooling in a heat exchanger for heat recovery purposes, recycled back into the drying oven to supply thereto all or part of the heat required for the paint drying process as well as the essentially inert gas atmosphere required therein. The unused portion of the incinerator combustion products may be vented directly to the atmosphere as nonpolluting emissions.
