3.3.5 Finishing the insulation

• Seal the gaps between the air curtain unit(s) and the corri-
dor with silicon paste, according to
• If there are two air curtain units, seal the gap between
them also.
• Check for holes and gaps in the corridor between the air
curtain unit or units, and the cold store door opening:
- Seal all leaks.
- Close larger openings with a thermal insulation mate-
rial.
Caution:
All gaps and holes in the corridor must be closed air leak
free.
Even small openings will make the MAT air curtain ineffec-
tive, and may also cause undesired side effects like mist and
icing.
Caution:
Larger openings must be filled with an thermally insulating
material.
Otherwise, precipitation of water and/or ice will occur on
the outside, causing unhygienic situations.
