In terms of energy savings, the use of a revolving door in your entrance is the most effective entrance solution. Air curtains have been developed specifically for revolving doors to maintain this effect at the entrance. This gives you the opportunity to decrease energy consumption even more by reducing heat loss in the winter and stabilising air-conditioned areas in the summer.

How Air Curtains Work

In most cases, air curtains are installed above entryways. They create a barrier of air over the revolving door. By essentially separating two environments, inside and outside, they maintain heating and keep out the cold (or vice versa). The air curtain houses a coil which cools or heats the jet of air. The temperature of the jets of air are adjusted to feel comfortable as you enter through the entrance of the revolving door.

Because air curtains create an invisible barrier between two areas, they help to keep out:

  • The summer heat
  • The winter cold
  • Dust
  • Insects
  • Smoke
  • Bad odours
  • Exhaust gas

Air Curtains for Increased Sustainability

A revolving door including heater can put a stop to cold drafts. While air curtains are mostly associated with moderating temperatures, they’re also economic and offer a money saving solution for buildings. They can do this in a number of ways:

  • By fixing unwanted climate changes within the entrance area
  • By separating indoor temperatures from outdoor climates
  • By working through the winter and summer months

Installation Requirements for Air Curtains

Air curtains work by installing the system horizontally or vertically. A horizontal installation is either integrated in the canopy or installed at the top of a revolving door. Another option is vertical installation which blows air in from the sides. When specifying for an air curtain there will be a space requirement. Air curtains can be installed in any form, from small door diameters to canopy implementations. Before specifying, you need to consider:

  • The size of the air curtain
  • Power of the air curtain
  • Position of the air curtain (keep in mind door opening sizes)
  • Location of the revolving door
  • Type of building
  • Climate considerations
