7th January 2020 - Air Curtain Applications are as many and varied as the types on offer Horizontal or Vertical; Ambient or Heated Puravent offers them all.
An air curtain creates an unseen barrier of air, separating two different areas. Typically installed above entrances like doors or windows, it functions by controlling the flow of air to prevent the transfer of air or contaminants between spaces. The main goal of an air curtain is to maintain desired indoor temperatures while saving energy and enhancing comfort.
Air curtains can be used in various settings, such as commercial buildings, warehouses, and even residential spaces. They operate by producing a powerful airflow that seals off external elements like dust, insects, odours, and pollutants. This helps to ensure a cleaner and more hygienic indoor environment by preventing unwanted particles from entering.
Moreover, air curtains not only act as a physical barrier but also help reduce energy loss from conditioned spaces. They minimize air infiltration, thereby preventing warm or cool air from escaping and assisting in maintaining stable indoor temperatures. This can result in significant energy savings and improved efficiency of heating and cooling systems.
Air curtains provide an effective solution for maintaining comfort, preventing the entry of pollutants, and conserving energy by efficiently separating two spaces. There is much more information about air curtains on our blog here.

Average The Room Is A Normal Residential Room, Office, Reception Area Or Similar, Where There Is Not Overly Crowded With People, Computer And Office Equipment.
Above Average There Are Factors That Contribute To Additional Heat Being Generated In The Room E.G. Strong Lighting, Overcrowding With People And Office Equipment, Conservatory Type Room, Or Flat Roofed Room.
High There Are Factors That Contribute To A High Heat Load In The Room. E.G. Commercial Cooking, Much Computer And Server Equipment, Switchgear, Temporary Building With Thin Walls And Flat Room, Plain Glass Conservatory.

This calculator is provided as a broad based indication of the energy cost of running a filter based air purification, and an indicative cost of running a Sanuvox system as an alternative. It should not be assumed to be absolutely accurate and should not be used as the basis of an actual system design or forecast of cost saving of an actual system. We accept no liability for consequences of the inappropriate use of this calculator, or its results. Actual figures would depend on the proposed system for a particular application and on the exact parameters of that application.
