How Air Curtains / Air Doors Works

How Save-T Air Curtains Work:

Save-T Air Curtains create an invisible barrier of high velocity air to separate different environments. The Save-T Air Curtain is mounted above a doorway opening, just above the header. Ambient air is drawn through the front intake grill (A) and into the fan baskets (B). The blower wheel (C), forces the air into an air chamber (D) and the air is forced downward through the discharge nozzle (E). An invisible “wall of air” is created that serves as the barrier preventing conditioned air from leaving the building and blocking outside air from entering, even when there is no primary door in place.

Note: When there is an in draft caused by an exhaust system in the building (negative pressure), the performance of any air curtain will be heavily affected.

Energy Conservation

Save-T Air Curtains will work effectively year round and control energy costs by keeping heated and air-conditioned air in the building. In the winter, an air door will recirculate the hot air that naturally rises to the ceiling, while creating a barrier that keeps out the cold air.

In the summer, that barrier works to keep hot, humid air outside where it belongs, while maintaining a cool, comfortable environment inside. When used for energy control the average payback time (in saved energy costs) for an air door is less than two years.

   

Flying Insect Control

Save-T air curtains are commonly used where it is necessary to stop insects from entering a building to meet with FDA or NSF requirements. Bugs in flight approaching the doorway will be stopped by a screen of air too powerful to penetrate.
 
   

Cold Storage

For cooler doors, Save-T air curtains are the safest, most energy efficient containment devices on the market. Air doors can save hundreds of dollars of energy costs lost through open cooler doors.

 
   

Dust Containment and Humidity Control

Air doors / air curtains can be used in applications where the infiltration of airborne dust particles or where high humidity levels cannot be tolerated. The invisible screen of air will allow the unrestricted passage of equipment and personnel while preventing dust or humid air from coming in. This principle holds true for almost any airborne contaminate or nuisance.
