Keys to installing an air curtain correctly

Wednesday 10 July 2024

The installation of an air curtain is not, on the face of it, a complex procedure. But if the manufacturer's guidelines are not followed, the result can be the opposite of efficiency, and the investment will have been a failure. The choice of model, the height at which it will be installed and even the installation company can be crucial for it to meet the expected savings and comfort expectations.

Let's go through, one by one, the keys that will ensure that your air curtain works in optimum conditions and is guaranteed to fulfil its energy-saving function.

1. Selecting the right model

Choosing the right air curtain model should not only involve aesthetic considerations. It is very important that the size of the air curtain fits the door and its performance is matched to the climatic or adverse conditions in the room. In addition, choose the most suitable type of heating for the environment (electric, water or heat pump).

2. Location and installation

The air curtain must be installed at the recommended height, by the manufacturer and depending on the installation. In addition, as mentioned in point one, it must be ensured that it covers the full width and height of the door.

It can be placed horizontally above the door or vertically next to it, but always make sure that there are no gaps between the air jet and the opening, to avoid losses and maximize efficiency.

3. Regular maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance of the air curtains is simple: it requires regular cleaning of the suction grilles. Clean and uncluttered suction grille ensures efficient airflow and long service life.

The choice of a specialized engineering and installer can guarantee a correct selection and a proper installation and maintenance. These keys directly influence the energy savings and comfort that the air curtain can provide, and Airtècnics can advise on specialists.
