The primary reason for installing an air curtain is to
prevent the influx of cold outside air through a door
opening into a heated area. Typical applications
include large despatch bay doors in factories and
warehouses, and internal doors between areas of
different temperatures. Wider door openings can be
accommodated by bolting two or more units together.
Air curtains control the internal climate by emitting an
air stream with enough velocity to meet the floor so
creating an air barrier in the door area. To prevent the
ingress of outside draughts, the discharge louvre is angled
outwards, so that the air leaving the building meets the
wind trying to enter, thus deflecting it. (See diagrams
below).
AB air curtains provide uniform air distribution across the
full width of the door, keeping heated or conditioned air
inside the building and stopping the ingress of cold air,
draughts and dust.
