Application area
AR3200C is a compact air curtain for recessed
mounting. The air curtain is available without
heat, with electrical heating and with water
heating. Recommended installation height for
ambient and electrically heated units is 3,2
metres and recommended installation height
for water heated unit is 2,8 metres. The air
curtain has an integrated control system and
can also be remote controlled.
Protection class for units with electrical
heating: IP20.
Protection class for units without heating and
units with water heating: IP21.
Operation
Air is drawn in from underneath and blown
downwards shielding the door opening and
minimizing heat loss. To achieve the optimum
curtain effect the unit must extend the full
width of the opening.
The grille for directing the outlet air is
adjustable and is normally angled outwards to
achieve the best protection against incoming
air.
The efficiency of the air curtain depends on
the air temperature, the pressure differencial
across the doorway and any wind load.
NOTE! Negative pressure in the building
considerably reduces the efficiency of the air
curtain. The ventilation should therefore be
balanced.
Mounting
The air curtain is installed horizontally with
the outlet air grille facing downwards as close
to the door as possible, concealed in the false
ceiling. The only visible part of the unit is
