ABSTRACT:
An industrial oven for heat treating a series of articles by transporting the articles through a heated tunnel in an enclosure, the enclosure having air barrier closures at the entrance and exit of the tunnel, the air barrier closure at the entrance of the tunnel having a blower with an inlet for receiving a gaseous medium and a nozzle for expelling the gaseous medium in a flow and directing the medium flow across the tunnel, the blower having a heater adapted to raise the temperature of the gaseous medium expelled through the nozzle above the temperature within the tunnel, the enclosure also having an exhaust port between the air barrier closures and an exhaust blower for removing a portion of the gaseous medium from within the tunnel and reducing the pressure of the gaseous medium within the tunnel to a pressure below that of the ambient atmosphere. Also the method of heat treating process articles in such an oven in which the gaseous medium of the air barrier closure at the entrance of the oven is heated to a temperature above that of the oven. Also the method of heat treating process articles in such an oven in which the gaseous medium of the air barrier closure at the entrance of the oven is provided with moisture, and further the method of curing process articles coated with powdered paint in an oven provided with an air barrier closure at the entrance to the oven in which the gasses in the closure are heated to a temperature above that of the oven and provided with moisture.
