What Is An Air Curtain For Home Use?
An air curtain for home, or residential air urtain, is applied to a house structure. Air curtains lower the cost of home energy, create a comfortable temperature inside, and repel irritating flies, mosquitoes, and other flying insects outside.
How Do Air Curtains Work?
An Air Curtain/Fly Fan uses one fan or several fans within the enclosure to produce a stealthy, high-speed wall of air. The wall is strong enough to travel through a full entryway, and to reduce airflow across various environmental partitions. In addition, a fly-by-night ventilation system can stop flying insects, smoke, and dust outside.
Air Curtains Are Divided Into 3 Types According To Installation Methods:
1. Horizontally Installed Air Curtains
Air curtains are installed horizontally above the doors or windows, generating a stream of wind to the floor.
2. Vertically Mounted Air Curtains
Air curtains are installed vertically at the sides of openings and blow air in a horizontal direction.
3. Recessed Air Curtains/Ceiling-mounted Air Curtains
Air curtains are installed in a recessed space, perfectly concealed in the ceiling. It usually uses for buildings with insufficient space for regular horizontal and vertical installations.
Air curtains Are Divided Into 2 Types According To Their Functions
1. Ambient Air Curtains
Ambient air curtains take in air from ambient air and blow the cool air out through the nozzle.
2. Heated/heating Air Curtains
Heated air curtains(including two types: electrical heated & hot water/steam heated) take ambient air through air inlet grills at first. Then heaters or steam coils heat the absorbed air to the required temperatures. Finally, fans blow the heated air outside through the nozzle.
