Air Curtains 101 - What is an Air Curtain?
Air curtains or air doors create a transparent, invisible air barrier over any exterior opening (including windows, doors, dock doors, cold store doors, front customer entrances and patio entrances, as well as internal partitions inside buildings) that provide a myriad of benefits. Thanks to the separation of environments, air doors save energy by shielding conditioned air, preventing the entry of dust, dirt, fumes, smoke, and flying insects, reduce stress on HVACR equipment reducing expense and giving operators better control over their environment. Mars Air Systems manufactures curtains high quality air (sometimes referred to as air doors, fly blowers and door blowers) and has been a leader in the industry for over 50 years.
How do air curtains work?
Air doors work by delivering a designed and constant flow of air across the width of an opening, which creates a barrier between two distinct environments and maintains temperature separation.They are preferred over the use of inefficient plastic strips because they are more energy efficient, hygienic, economical and very effective at maintaining cooler and freezing temperatures.Door air curtains also eliminate the need for constant replacement of shredded, torn and damaged plastic strips. sales.Applications range from retail to restaurant, industrial spaces, warehouses, large entertainment venues, walk-in refrigerators and freezers, drive-in windows, transportation terminals, healthcare facilities and hospitals, clean rooms, electronics manufacturing and a variety of specialty applications where water, heat nsation, harsh weather conditions, or unique circumstances benefit from unobstructed airflow.

Why do I need an air gate?
An air door is a huge energy-saving device that helps maintain the building's interior temperature while doors and windows are constantly being opened and closed. By maintaining comfortable interior temperatures, employee productivity increases and energy costs go down. They also keep dirt, dust and fumes out and deter flying insects, providing a cleaner and more hygienic environment.
How do specific industries benefit from an air door?
Violators such as flying pests, airborne dust and dirt, unconditioned air, and hundreds of thousands of pathogens and microorganisms do not discriminate. Facilities of all sizes , accommodating all types of industries and work, are struggling to meet the same challenges.
