Paint booth heater installation for offshore and LNG modules
Offshore and LNG module coating booths often rely on heated replacement air to support booth balance and coating conditions. Double D Mechanical installs paint booth heaters and air make-up units with attention to air delivery, duct routing, utility connections, controls and service access.

Large booth exhaust systems need replacement air delivered in a way that supports booth performance. Heater and air make-up placement should be reviewed with exhaust volume, intake location, building pressure and the way modules occupy the booth.
Duct Paths to the Booth
Supply ductwork may need to route around cranes, pipe racks, roof framing, platforms and existing utilities. Transitions, supports, dampers and access panels should be planned before equipment is set.
Fuel, Power and Control Needs
Heater installation can involve gas or other heat service, electrical feeds, control wiring, sensors and booth interlocks. These connections should be coordinated with the trades responsible for utilities and controls.
Service Clearance for the Unit
Filters, burners, motors, belts, dampers and controls need room for inspection and maintenance. The unit location should avoid placing service doors against walls, structural steel or stored production materials.
Frequently asked questions
Is a heater the same as an air make-up unit?
In many booth systems, the heater is part of an air make-up unit that replaces exhausted air and tempers it before it enters the booth.
What affects heater location?
Roof or floor space, duct routing, utility access, service clearance, intake location and distance to the booth all affect placement.
What should be ready before a field review?
Have booth exhaust information, existing heater details, utility locations, roof access information, drawings and photos of available equipment space.
Why review the module inside the booth?
Large frames can affect how air enters and moves through the booth, so heater delivery should be considered around actual workpiece placement.
