ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for curing a composite material includes an oven having an inner wall defining an inner chamber, an outer wall defining an outer chamber between the inner wall and the outer wall, a hot air distribution manifold disposed within the inner chamber, a cold air distribution manifold disposed within the outer chamber, and an exhaust chimney having a cold air distribution conduit disposed therein coupled to the outer chamber. The system further includes a hot air supply system coupled to the hot air distribution manifold of the oven that is operable to supply hot air to the hot air distribution manifold, a cold air supply system coupled to the cold air distribution manifold and the cold air distribution conduit that is operable to supply cold air to them, and a plurality of hot air exhaust passages formed in the inner wall of the oven. The hot air exhaust passages are adapted to transport hot air within the inner chamber to the outer chamber.
