- W1567731742 abstract "Product coatings sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) amounted to 281 million gallons in 1985. Of this amount, about 185 million gallons were sued for painting or coating metal substrates. Most, if not all, of the OEMs use energy intensive drying processes, with the total energy consumption for paint drying of metallic substrates estimated at 92 trillion BTU in 1985. Most of the drying is done in convection ovens, and natural gas is the preferred fuel because of its relative cost, cleanliness of combustion products and controllability for steady heat flux. In convection ovens, there are no fuel substitutes for natural gas in paint drying applications. However, radiation curing technologies powered by electricity can be substituted for gas-fired convection ovens in a variety of applications. The competitiveness of natural gas-fired convection ovens in relation to electric radiation curing technology is sensitive to a variety of product-related and plant-related factors. Complexity of shape, for example, is very important as radiation curing requires line-of-sight exposure of the surface to be cured. Thus, complex shapes such as automobiles cannot be easily cured by radiation, while simple shapes such as coils and containers are easily adapted to radiation curing. If a product can bemore » cured by infrared radiation, energy use is typically reduced by about 70 percent. However, electricity costs are over three times that of natural gas on a Btu basis, and total energy costs may not be reduced or may even increase with radiation curing. At current energy prices, natural gas is still the primary choice for drying of paints and coatings in most applications. In the future, factors other than energy costs will become more important. 40 refs., 10 figs., 30 tabs.« less" @default.
