B. As used in this article, all terms not defined here shall have the meanings given them in 9VAC5 Chapter 10 (9VAC5-10-10 et seq.), unless otherwise required by context.
C. Terms defined.
"Application area" means the area where the coating is applied by spraying, dipping or flow coating techniques.
"Carbon adsorption system" means a device containing activated carbon as the adsorbent material, an inlet and outlet for exhaust gases, and a system to regenerate the saturated adsorbent. The carbon adsorption system must provide for the proper disposal or reuse of all volatile organic compounds in the adsorbate.
"Coating applicator" means an apparatus used to apply a surface coating.
"Coating application system" means any operation or system where a surface coating of one type or function is applied, dried or cured and which is subject to the same emission standard. May include any equipment which applies, conveys, dries or cures a surface coating, including, but not limited to, spray booths, flow coaters, flashoff areas, air dryers, drying areas and flashoff area or drying area to be included in this definition.
"Flashoff area" means the space between the application area and the oven.
"Oven" means a chamber within which heat is used to bake, cure, polymerize or dry a surface coating or any combination of those.
