component 22 passing through the bring up zone 30 is an air tight quartz glass wall 28 which protects the lamps from dust solvents and resins which might be present in the paint baking oven 10 quartz glass wall 28 also assists in isolating the infrared lamps 25 and 26 from the hot air surrounding the painted object in the paint baking oven 10 the infrared lamps are controlled through time pulsing or triac 39 s by a computer 40 which make it possible to light specific lamps at specific intensities to accommodate for the variances in the painted surface of the component 22 as it passes through bring up zone 30 the bring up zone 30 also includes an air inlet system for bringing air into the interior of bring up zone 30 the inlet air flows into the trailing end 34 of the bring up zone 30 as designated by arrows 39 through horseshoe or u shaped inlets 33 where the air is directed downward towards the entrance end 36 of the bring up zone 30 the inlet air serves to cool the infrared lamps 25 and 26 which are susceptible to overheating once the inlet air approaches the entrance end 36 of the bring up zone 30 it is circulated back into the zone 30 by a draft of air designated by arrows 30 introduced.
