Air Curtains: Your Invisible Doorway Protector

Air Curtains: Your Invisible Doorway Protector

Air curtains create an invisible barrier at your entrance, safeguarding your indoor environment from unwanted intruders like insects, dust, and temperature fluctuations. By forcefully projecting a sheet of air across the entire doorway, air curtains effectively prevent conditioned air from escaping and outside air from entering.

Key benefits of air curtains include:

• Energy Efficiency: Significantly reduce heating and cooling costs by minimizing energy loss through doorways.
• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Protect your space from pollutants, allergens, and airborne contaminants.
• Enhanced Comfort: Create a comfortable indoor climate by preventing drafts and temperature imbalances.
• Insect Control: Keep pesky insects out and enjoy a bug-free environment.

How do air curtains work?

Unlike air conditioners, air curtains do not produce cold or hot air. Instead, they utilize powerful fans to create a high-velocity air stream that acts as a physical barrier. Modern air curtains offer advanced features such as variable speed controls, remote operation, and integration with smart building systems, ensuring optimal performance and convenience.

Choosing the Right Air Curtain

Selecting the perfect air curtain for your needs involves considering several key factors:

1. Doorway Dimensions:

• Measure accurately: Determine the exact width and height of your doorway.
• Complete coverage: Ensure the air curtain's width matches or slightly exceeds the doorway to prevent air leakage.
• Height considerations: For taller doorways, prioritize models with higher air velocity to create an effective barrier.
• Size options: Our air curtains come in various widths (24", 36", 42", 48", 60", 72") to accommodate different door sizes.

2. Power Requirements:

• Power consumption: Our models range from 230W to 600W, equivalent to approximately 3A to 7A.
• Outlet compatibility: Verify that your electrical outlet can handle the required amperage to avoid overloading.
• Circuit breaker capacity: Ensure your circuit breaker can safely support the air curtain's power draw.

3. Airflow Performance:

• Air velocity (FPM): This measures how fast the air moves and impacts the curtain's effectiveness. Higher velocity is generally better for taller doorways or windy environments.
• Air volume (CFM): This indicates the amount of air delivered by the air curtain. A higher CFM often correlates with better performance.
• Cross-sectional area: This is calculated by dividing CFM by FPM and helps determine the air curtain's coverage area.

4. Noise Level:

• Fan noise: Air velocity contributes to noise levels. Choose models with noise reduction features if a quiet environment is essential.
• Balance performance and noise: Consider your specific needs and weigh the importance of quiet operation against desired airflow.

5. Trade-offs and Considerations:

• Initial cost vs. energy savings: Larger, more powerful air curtains often have higher upfront costs but can lead to significant energy savings over time.
• Other factors: Space limitations, desired appearance, and future expansion plans should also be considered.
