Air Curtain Basics | What Is An Air Curtain + How Does It Work?

Buying an Air Door? Here's What to Look For.

Not all air curtains are created equal, from design to price to performance, it's critical that the air curtain meets the needs of your application while also being able to withstand the rigors of daily use. And while a “cheaper” unit may save money upfront, it may also end up costing more in terms of a longer installation or poorer performance. Stainless steel air curtains provide an aesthetic boost but will also last considerably longer in regions prone to rust and humidity, such as coastal areas.

Uniformity Is Also Key

A discharge plenum collects the discharged air and creates a uniform flow that covers a larger portion of the door.

Most air curtains aim their blowers directly down from the air curtain. This creates gaps between the blowers through which outside air and insects can pass.

Versatility

As not all air curtains are created equal, neither are the applications where they'll operate. Often, overhead space is limited or the building requires an in-ceiling or low-profile unit to boost aesthetics. Powered Aire's complete line of air curtains ensures the proper fit and usage for the application. More so, it's backed by first-class customer service and support.
