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.
