Air-Curtain
What Is Air Curtain
Air Curtain unit is a device which can generate high speed air flow in order to effectively separate indoor environment and outdoor environment. With this separation, we can be benefited from better energy consumptions, protect our indoor environment from odors, dust, insects. Apart from saving on energy bills, better indoor environment can also let us gain profit from achieving higher customers/staffs satisfaction level. In order to achieve the above purposes, we have to choose an Effective Air Curtain.
 
What Does A Air Curtain Do
Types Of Air Curtains
Air Curtain unit is a device which can generate high speed air flow in order to effectively separate indoor environment and outdoor environment. With this separation, we can be benefited from better energy consumptions, protect our indoor environment from odors, dust, insects. Apart from saving on energy bills, better indoor environment can also let us gain profit from achieving higher customers/staffs satisfaction level. In order to achieve the above purposes, we have to choose an Effective Air Curtain.
There are generally several types of air curtains.
 
1. By fan types used in the air curtain:

Cross flow air curtain

The cross-flow air curtain generally has only one motor, which is mainly driven by the motor to drive the impeller wheel, and the wind force is directly generated by the impeller. The air volume of the cross flow air curtain is high, higher than centrifugal air curtain at the same installation height and air speed attenuation of the air curtain is slower than centrifugal air curtain.
Generally, cross flow and curtain’s installation height from 2.5 meters to 4 meters. If more than 4 meters, usually the noise will be unacceptable. Normally, because there is only one motor, under same condition, cross flow air curtain price is lower than the centrifugal air curtain.
 
 

Centrifugal air curtain

Centrifugal air curtains usually have at least two motors, and a volute is installed outside the impeller. The motor is used to drive the impeller to generate wind pressure in the volute, and then the air is ejected from the nozzle of the volute to form an air wall. Usually Centrifugal air curtain has high air speed and lower noise than cross flow air curtain. Because centrifugal air curtain’s air speed formed by pressure in the volute, Centrifugal air curtain’s wind attenuates faster than the cross flow air curtain after leaving the air curtain.
Usually Centrifugal air curtain’s installation height is from 3.5 meters to 6 meters. Because there are usually more than two motors in a centrifugal air curtain, centrifugal air curtain price is generally higher than that of the cross flow air curtain.

Axial air curtains

Axial air curtains generally have multiple motors (for example MEIHAO axial air curtain of 0.9 meters length model has 5 motors), one motor drives one axial fan to generate wind directly, and the air speed performance is slightly weaker than that of the cross flow air curtain. Axial air curtain is an early form of air curtain, because the cost is relatively high, it is usually only used in specific areas according to customer requirements.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. By function:

Ambient air curtain

The air curtain generates natural wind to form a wind wall, which is used to separate the indoor and outdoor environment.

Heating air curtain

On the basis of the ambient air curtain, a heating element is installed to separate the indoor and outdoor environment and achieve a certain heating effect. Heating air curtain usually used in colder areas.
Heating air curtain can also be divided into electric heating and hot/warm water heating air curtain.
Electric heating air curtain is installed with electric heating elements in the air curtain. Meihao air curtain has two types of electric heating air curtains, one type the heating element installed at air inlet area; the other type the heating element installed at the air outlet area.
Hot/warm water heating air curtain is installed evaporator, to transfer the heat from hot water to hot air.
3. According to the installation method:
1) Horizontal air curtain. 
This kind of air curtain is generally installed on the top of the door/entrance, And this is the common way to install an air curtain.
2) Vertical air curtain. 
This type of air curtain is generally installed on the side of the door. Under normal circumstances, we recommend using horizontal air curtain, unless there are the following situations (or the customer's own preference):
a) The height of the door/entrance is normal, but very wide. In this case, many horizontal air curtains are needed, but for vertical air curtains need fewer units, which can save the cost of purchasing air curtain units.
b) The installation space at the top of the door/entrance is not enough to install the horizontal air curtain, or the installation conditions are poor.
c) The customer requires a particularly strong partition effect. Because vertical air curtain can be installed on both sides of the entrance, it can greatly enhance the partition effect as an air door.
3) Ceiling air curtain/ recessed air curtain. 
This type of air curtain is installed inside the ceiling.
4) Special air curtain series. 
Such as vehicle air curtain which installed on refrigeration truck, revolving door air curtain, cold room air curtain, etc.

How To Choose An Air Curtain
According to the NSF standard, Air Curtain for customer entry shall have a minimum 8 inches (200mm) air stream depth and an air velocity of at least 600fpm (3.05M/S). The measurement point shall be at a distance of 3Ft (0.9M) above the floor.
With an Effective Air Curtain installed, the air stream should be like the following picture.

If an ineffective air curtain was installed, the air stream would be like either of the following pictures.

Infiltration, the outdoor air pressure is higher than the indoor air pressure. This will resulted in odors, dust, insects getting indoor. This can cause series damage on indoor environment and climate.

Exfiltration, the indoor air pressure is higher than the outdoor air pressure. This will lead to air leakage, and result in huge cost on energy consumption therefore more expensive energy bill than just leave the door wild open without any barrier.
