Air Make Up Units for Generator Enclosure Finishing
Generator enclosure paint and powder areas remove a large amount of air through booth exhaust, oven exhaust and dust collection equipment. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services air make up units that help replace that air while supporting stable finishing conditions for housings, doors and panels.
Discuss your installationAir Balance for Enclosure Finishing
Replacement air must match the way booths, ovens and exhaust fans operate. If the balance is off, air can pull through doors, stir up dust, affect spray patterns or make the finishing area uncomfortable for operators.
Discharge Placement Near Booths
Air entering the area should support the process rather than fight it. Discharge locations, duct drops and diffusers need to be arranged so replacement air does not blow across wet paint, powder application zones or freshly coated panels.
Heating, Controls and Interlocks
Tempered make up air can help stabilize conditions during coating work. Installation may include gas or electrical connections, control wiring, fan interlocks and coordination with booth exhaust so equipment starts and stops in the right sequence.
Roof, Wall and Service Considerations
Make up air units often involve structural supports, roof curbs, duct openings, filters and access panels. Planning should leave room for filter changes, motor service and safe access without crowding enclosure staging areas.
Information for the First Walkthrough
Bring exhaust fan data, booth and oven locations, utility information, roof access details, part sizes and notes about temperature, odor or pressure concerns in the finishing area.
Frequently asked questions
How does make up air help generator enclosure paint work?
It replaces exhausted air in a controlled way, helping reduce pressure problems, drafts and temperature swings around the coating area.
Can one unit serve more than one booth?
It may be possible depending on airflow demand, controls, duct layout and how the booths operate during production.
What signs point to air balance problems?
Hard to open doors, dust movement, odor migration, weak booth capture, cold drafts and inconsistent spray behavior can all point to air balance issues.
What should be reviewed before replacing a make up air unit?
Check the existing capacity, exhaust demand, duct condition, utility service, control sequence, roof support and access for future maintenance.
