Heated cure tunnel, non combustion
Heated cure tunnel, non combustion
(OP)
Hi, need to build a heated tunnel to cure a painted product, but cant be direct fire heated? I was thinking of a boiler and running piping thru a heat exchanged to warm up the tunnel. Any other ideas out there, that would work better and be cost effective and not an explosion threat lol

Not a good idea, but that is just my opinion. Empty the dang tanks first!

I'm assuming your just repainting these tanks, if so I would look into an air cured/drying product.
What is the required curing temp?

The pertinent question is "Who will be blamed when they explode?"
If it were me, I'd make it a condition that they be drained and vented prior to the painting and curing.
