Cutting energy loss
28 October 2014
Airbloc energy efficient air curtains are designed to cut energy loss by more than 80% and deliver a uniform flow of air to separate interior and exterior atmospheres.
Comparative temperature readings show a drop of between 4 and 10°C every time a warehouse door is opened. However, 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%.
Airbloc's air curtains 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.
The air curtains induce warm air down from high level that would otherwise be lost through the roof and can be supplied as ambient models or heated models using gas, hot water, steam or electric.
