Proper installation of air curtains is crucial to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. At Envirotec, we provide a comprehensive guide to help you understand the installation process for commercial settings.

Planning Your Air Curtain Installation

Before installation, consider the following:

  • Door Dimensions: Measure the width and height to select the appropriate air curtain size.
  • Mounting Options: Decide between recessed, surface-mounted, or vertical installation.
  • Heat Source: Choose between ambient, electric, or water-heated units based on your needs.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

  1. Mounting the Unit: Secure the air curtain above the doorway using appropriate brackets or supports. For recessed installations, integrate the unit into the ceiling grid.
  2. Electrical Connections: Connect the unit to the power supply, ensuring compliance with electrical regulations. For heated models, connect to the heating system.
  3. Control Setup: Install the control panel in an accessible location. Configure settings for airflow, temperature, and operational hours.
  4. Testing and Commissioning: Switch on the unit to test airflow direction and strength. Adjust settings for optimal performance.
