I am working on a project where a company acquired a used paint spray booth
that they are adapting to their operation. It is a little unique in that the
air intake is through the floor and the exhaust is through the ceiling. The
previous dry chemical system has been removed and the booth is now to be
protected by sprinklers. Sprinklers for the booth area, control room and
exhaust ducts are a given. However, the intake air goes from the ductwork to a
plenum below the floor. Between the plenum and the spray area is a set of
filters. I have no idea if they are combustible or not and neither does anyone
else. Normally I would not give much consideration to protecting the intake air
system, but these filters may be an issue. Has anyone run into this type of
booth and what have they done about the intake?
