Abstract

The present invention relates to a temperature control system (100) for temperature control of workpieces, in particular for drying treated vehicle bodies or parts thereof with temperature-controlled recirculated air, wherein the temperature control system comprises the following: - at least one system housing (124) in which at least one temperature control chamber (106), through which the workpieces can be conveyed for temperature control with recirculated air in a conveying direction (102), and at least one pressure chamber (108) are arranged; and - at least one temperature control device (112) for temperature control and / or circulation of the recirculated air, wherein the at least one pressure chamber (108) is arranged between a housing wall (142) of the at least one plant housing (124) and the at least one temperature control chamber (106) and wherein, for the purpose of circulating the recirculated air through the temperature control chamber (106), the at least one pressure chamber (108) is fluidly connected to the at least one temperature control chamber (106) via at least one inlet opening (126) and at least one outlet opening (130). Furthermore, the present invention relates to a corresponding method for tempering workpieces, in particular for drying treated vehicle bodies or parts thereof with tempered circulating air.
