UPGATE air curtain
What actually happens at the entrance/exit?
If I do nothing with the door open, the cold air at the bottom tries to enter the building and the warm air at the top tries to escape.
That’s pure physics. Cold air is at the bottom and warm air is at the top.
The classic air curtain hangs from the ceiling, and the air is also heated.
The warm air blows from top to bottom. Even if the jet of air reached the ground, it would only swirl around at ground level.
As a rule, the incoming air is then warmed as shown above.
Drive power outputs between 10 and 40 kW are not uncommon in this context. UPGATE asked itself the question: why hang something from the ceiling when the problem lies in the lower area?
Thus, we arrived at the simple and ingenious solution to effectively prevent drafts in the entrance and exit areas.
The UPGATE air curtain pillar is mounted to the side of the entrance (only one pillar is needed for door widths up to 2500mm!) and effectively separates the outside and inside climates with its system specifically designed for room air utilization.
Whether summer or winter: UPGATE maintains your indoor climate. The interior is pleasantly cool or comfortably warm, keeping out unpleasant odors, dust and insects.
Unlike conventional air curtains, UPGATE does not use energy-intensive heating or cooling elements to warm or cool the air.
This allows us to save energy in multiple ways. The UPGATE system has a maximum drive motor of 1.5 kW, which is significantly less than conventional air curtains. Because we shield the bottom from where the cold air wants to enter, we are also significantly more effective.
This saves a lot of energy on heating and prevents drafts!
