AIR STAR Air Curtains are used for a wide variety of applications from thermal barriers at shopping mall entrances, to fly and insect prevention at restaurant service doors, to factory freight doors for wind resistance and temperature separation. The air curtain enables traffic to flow unobstructed through openings while maintaining distinct environments, thus resulting in energy savings. The most common type of air curtain is the horizontal, non- recirculating, single jet type. It will satisfy the majority of needs for commercial and industrial applications. The discharge velocity of the air curtain can range from 600 ft/min, for entrance ways, to over 5,000 ft/min, for sealing environments from wind effects and insects. The Leading Edge Technical Guide is designed to assist the air curtain planner in understanding how this technology works, where air curtains are typically used, and their advantages. This document provides a complete description of Leading Edge Air Curtains including construction, performance, accessories and installation. Also included is an energy savings calculation procedure, along with a compilation of the most frequently asked questions.
Air curtain consist of a fan and nozzle system which create a jet of high velocity air directed across a door opening, providing a protective air shield. The air shield minimizes the transfer of heat, moisture, dust, fumes and insects through the doorway. Air curtains, as illustrated in Figure 1, pull in air and accelerate it through the fan and nozzle system, thus creating a moving wall of air across the opening or doorway. The air curtain fan adds kinetic energy to the air, providing the resistance to the penetration of unwanted air or particles. This added kinetic energy in the discharge air also resists the penetration of outside air due to the wind, as well as the invasion of insects. The air is provided at a critical velocity and volume flow as well as at a discharge angle selected for its particular application. Applications are: Thermal Barriers for conditioned space isolation; Wind Resistance for protecting exterior doorways in buildings from unconditioned air; Interior Separation for particle and dust control; and Fly and Insect Control for sanitation maintenance. Each application is discussed in more detail in the following pages.
Air curtain provide environmental separation for open doorways. This is achieved without the drawbacks of visibility-limiting solid barriers such as strip and impact doors. Air curtains reduce the risk of accidents by allowing vehicles and people to move through without obstructions to visibility or movement. While allowing this freedom of movement through doorways, air curtains minimize the natural convection flow of air, provide excellent resistance to the penetration of outside winds, and prevent the intrusion of flies and insects, fumes and dust. Air curtains also reduce mechanical door maintenance costs, and are more aesthetically appealing than plastic strip doors or high- speed doors. For fly and insect control the air curtain projects the high velocity jet across the opening, Proper design, selection and installation of an air curtain will allow this standard to be met, maintaining sanitary conditions.

Air star offer a qualitative range of Flame Proof Air Curtains, It’s specially Designed to Run in Highly Inflammable Areas where the Chances of Sparks are high. Hence these Specially Made Air Curtains incorporate Special Flame Proof Motors that in the Event of an Emergency Spark Inside the Motor do not Allow the Sparks to Go Outside the Motor Casing thus Preventing Chances of Fire. This High Velocity Cushion of Air also helps in Preventing Dust, Insects, Smoke, Odor, etc. from Entering Inside.
Air star Stainless steel industrial air curtains are suitable for a range of projects, particularly those which will be used in the technology is simple in design and made with stainless steel construction to provide a long life, decreasing the potential for rust and facilitating easy cleaning of the unit.
