Thermal curtains are one of the varieties of climate equipment. In appearance, this device resembles an elongated fan that is able to create a directed air flow. When installed on the doorway, you can create an air curtain that fences out street air from the airspace of the room. In winter, thermal curtains retain heat, and in the summer they do not allow warm street air to penetrate the conditioned room. In addition, a directed flow of air becomes not overcome by an obstacle for insects and dust.
It is advisable to use thermal curtains in large -volume rooms, in which heaters or air conditioners work. It can be warehouses, supermarkets, restaurants, etc. The installation of this climatic equipment is very effective in places where the doors frequent opening occurs. Some models of household airborne curtains are designed to install the window. This achieves reduction of heat loss and heating of small areas. There are special models made with drip moisture protection, such devices can be used even on car sinks.
Calculations show that the use of various types of heating, in combination with a thermal curtain, is much more effective and economical. For example, the work of heat guns in the winter in such a tandem becomes more rational, since it can be adjusted to less intense heating, and this leads to a reduction in operational costs of electric energy.
For a heating element of the thermal curtain, electricity or heat from central heating can be used. When using heat from the heat center, the period of use is limited to a long heating season. When using electricity, the device can be operated all year round, while smoothly select the power of the air barrier. Depending on the requirements, the unit can be located vertically or horizontally.
When choosing air heat curtains, you should pay attention to the company Ballu, Frico, 2VV, GEBO. If we consider domestic brands, then the thermal curtains of heating lines and tropic are most popular here. These two companies have achieved great success in the production of climatic heating equipment, and in terms of quality and reliability it is not inferior to imported analogues.
