Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018011389A1] The invention relates to a device for controlling the temperature of workpieces (16), in particular for drying vehicle bodies (18), comprising a housing (20), a temperature-controlling tunnel (22) which is accommodated in the housing (20), and a temperature-controlling system (86, 94) for controlling the temperature of workpieces (12). The temperature-controlling system (86, 94) comprises a full-space temperature-controlling device (86), by means of which the temperature of a workpiece as a whole can be controlled, and a local temperature-controlling device (94), by means of which the temperature of locally delimited regions (18a, 18b, 18c) of the workpiece (16) can be controlled and which comprises multiple temperature-controlling units (96) that can be activated and actuated independently of one another for this purpose. The full-space temperature-controlling device (86) and the local temperature-controlling device (94) are provided in the temperature-controlling tunnel (22) such that a workpiece (16) at least within an active section (98) in the temperature-controlling tunnel (22) can be under the influence of both the full-space temperature-controlling device (86) as well as the local temperature-controlling device (94). A system (14) and a method for controlling the temperature of workpieces (16) are additionally provided.
