What is an Air Curtain and its benefits?

 Air curtain benefits include reduced or eliminated need for indoor recirculation of air within a fixed space, providing for greater efficiency.

Air curtain may be referred to by the acronym AWE, which stands for air flow through ventilation.

As a result, the air curtain market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12% to 15% over the forecast period of 2016 to 2024.

The air curtain market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12% to 15% over the forecast period of 2016 to 2024.

The growth of the air curtain market is attributed to the rise in demand for air curtains owing to their benefits over conventional air handling units (AHUs) in terms of improved air quality, energy efficiency and room and building standards.

Air curtains allow for complete room air conditioning, eliminating the need to frequently open and close windows, air curtain doors or the air conditioning unit, for instance, to adjust room temperature.

This is beneficial as there is a minimal carbon footprint when using air curtains as the closing and opening of windows, doors or the A/C unit in a building can be adversely detrimental to the environment.

Air curtains are available in three types; ribbon, thin and door. The ribbon air curtains are usually found in the middle range, while the thin and door air curtains are more costly and find applications in more premium areas.

Ribbon air curtains are placed at the top of walls.

Air curtains are made of flexible polymers that fit tightly around a room and help regulate air flow.
