Air Volume
On more demanding days it is usual to increase the operational speed of an air
curtain. Similarly on milder days the speed would be reduced. A standard air curtain
with a fixed area discharge grille, means the air velocity increases or decreases
accordingly, resulting in a drop in energy efficiency and comfort.
One of the important differences between the Biddle CA2 air curtain and a standard
air curtain is the inclusion of a patented damper mechanism. This assembly helps
maintain the optimum relationship between air volume and discharge velocity –
which we refer to as the air curtain strength or impulse.
Discharge Temperature
Biddle research showed that energy efficiency decreases with an increase in
discharge air temperature. Hot air is more buoyant and reduces the effect of good
climate separation. Trials by Biddle investigated various temperatures, in order to
ascertain which one would be most efficient and provide the highest levels of
comfort throughout the year. Research found that a discharge temperature of
35°C ensures optimum comfort of those passing under the air curtain and anyone
close to the entrance. Temperatures up to 50°C can be useful in extreme and
demanding environments.
An air curtain will bring about air movement at low level within the building, close
to the door. Whether this is seen as comfortable is highly dependent on its
temperature. At the specified temperature, comfort is not compromised.
The Invisidor CA2 incorporates controls that automatically regulate the discharge
air temperature.
Automatic Control
Customer research has established that at the time of installation an air curtain
is typically set to operate at a mid-speed setting and rarely adjusted. This results
in the air curtain continually operating at a single air volume, velocity and
temperature. However as internal and external conditions constantly vary this
means the air curtain will only be operating at the optimum setting some of the
time
,
and for the rest of the time will be on either too high or too low a setting
.
