Automotive Application for CCS-100
Ceramic Insulating Coating

At this automobile assembly plant an existing air supply house on the roof of the plant was used to circulate and filter air into a solvent flash area in the paint system. When a new vehicle was introduced to the facility the process system required that the flash area air be heated and the supply house would have to be modified to provide heated air. The existing air supply house was un-insulated and has a service area in a hallway that is surrounded by air handling chambers. Modifications that allow the supply house to deliver air at approximately 200ºF caused three significant problems:

• The service area became too hot (200ºF) for maintenance personnel as a result of heat migration from the air handling changers into the service hallway.

• Very high heat loss thru the un-insulated exterior walls to outdoor ambient.

• High corrosion of black metal building components.
