The importance of control and regulation for air curtains

Wednesday 24 July 2024

In recent years, air curtains have become an essential solution for many sectors, from retail to manufacturing. Designed primarily to maintain separation of climate zones, reduce energy consumption and improve indoor air quality, air curtains have established themselves as a valuable investment.

But beyond their correct installation, proper control and regulation of air curtains are crucial to maximizing their effectiveness.

The importance of control and regulation for air curtains

One of the most prominent benefits of air curtains is energy efficiency. When used correctly, air curtains significantly reduce heat exchange, thereby reducing the energy demand of heating and air conditioning systems, and thus the energy bill. This efficiency, however, depends in part on the type of control used and its correct configuration.

Air curtain control optimises air curtain performance

The combination of air curtains with advanced control systems ensures effective separation with minimum energy consumption. Advanced control systems bring numerous benefits in managing the ventilation and heating of air curtains by adapting their operation to the door status, opening frequency, indoor and outdoor temperatures or air descent temperature.

Door sensors, for example, detect the opening and closing of doors, activating or deactivating the air curtains to avoid wasting energy. Other features include adaptive door delay, which adjusts the delay time based on how often the door is used, and the time scheduler, which allows specific times of operation to be set to maximize energy efficiency. Advanced control systems also allow the airflow to be regulated at multiple speeds, adapting it to specific needs at any given time.

Air curtains with intelligent controls can also be integrated with building management systems, BMS. This integration allows centralized and automated control, so that all elements of the installation operate in sync. This is especially important in large installations where multiple air curtains work together to improve energy efficiency and comfort.

Maintenance alarms are an important feature, alerting operators to the need for preventive maintenance, ensuring good performance and extended equipment life.

Temperature and door sensors, along with other advanced features, ensure optimal operation and efficient energy management. In addition, integration with building management systems offers significant advances, yet requires secure configuration to maintain accuracy.

All folding contributes to providing a comfortable indoor environment, free of dust, odours and insects, and with minimal energy consumption. In short, proper regulation and advanced control of air curtains are essential to maximize their benefits.
