Stop energy loss
Airbloc energy efficient air curtains cut energy loss by over 80% and deliver a uniform flow of air to separate interior and exterior atmospheres, maintain internal climate, offer significant cost savings and deliver improved worker comfort.
Comparative temperature readings show a drop of between 4°C and 10°C every time a warehouse door is opened. However, according to Airbloc, with an air curtain the difference is normally just 1°C.
With an over door air curtain, energy lost through open doors which was previously seen as unavoidable, can actually be reduced by as much as 80%.
Air curtains are so effective in separating internal and external environments that doorways can remain open all day with very little effect on the heating system’s energy consumption with relatively little detriment to internal comfort conditions, asserts the company.
Energy efficient air curtains such as those supplied by Airbloc, can be positioned directly over or down the side of a doorway. When doors are opened in heated buildings, colder external air flows in through the bottom part of the opening, while internal air flows out through the upper part.
In air conditioned buildings, the opposite applies. Over door air curtains deliver a uniform flow of air across the full door width that separates the interior and exterior atmospheres.
As well as their energy saving capacity, air curtains also have ‘hidden’ benefits. Over door air curtains induce warm air down from high level that would otherwise be lost through the roof, thus helping to de-stratify the building and eliminate cold spots.
Among the air curtains new developments is a fresh design that promotes a laminar airflow and includes deep profile aerofoil section air straightening veins. These improve the efficiency of climate separation between the indoor and outdoor environment, compared to previous models.
