AIRDOOR CURVE

THE AIRDOOR CURVE IS AN ADVANCED AIR CURTAIN THAT CREATES AN “INVISIBLE DOOR” USING AERODYNAMIC AIRFLOW INSTEAD OF HEATED OR COOLED AIR

Unlike the standard AirDoor, the Curve is engineered for spaces where adjoining rooms have very different temperatures. Warm air naturally escapes upwards while cold air drifts in along the floor. The Curve’s unique twisted legs redirect airflow to block this natural exchange, keeping hot and cold zones separate.

Perfect for cold storage inside heated warehouses, it can replace strip curtains or automatic roller doors, boosting efficiency and comfort. If your space has a significant temperature difference between rooms, AirDoor Curve provides the perfect solution

AirDoor Curve holds chilled air in and keeps warmth out.

CORE TECHNOLOGY

The AirDoor Curve leverages aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to form a three-sided, active air barrier at building entrances or exits. By precisely manipulating airflow using specially designed fans and controls, it effectively separates internal climates from external conditions. This reduces unwanted infiltration from wind, humidity, dust, pollution, and even rain, leading to better thermal comfort and cleaner indoor air.

KEY FEATURES

  • Energy Efficiency: Unlike conventional air curtains, the AirDoor Curve uses no direct heating or cooling. Its fans shape air flows to minimise energy use, helping businesses cut operational costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
  • Enhanced Comfort: It keeps building interiors more stable in temperature and humidity while preventing airborne contaminants, benefiting staff and visitors alike.
  • Data-Driven Design: The system was developed using cutting-edge CFD software, ensuring optimal airflow and minimal energy loss.

APPLICATIONS

The AirDoor Curve is particularly well-suited for retail, hospitality, healthcare, and industrial settings – anywhere energy and climate control are critical, and doors need to remain open to customers or logistics.

PROVEN RESULTS

In one retail ‘Beer Cave’ project, sales jumped by 35% after installing an AirDoor Curve. By keeping the space perfectly chilled while staying open and inviting to customers, it drives higher sales without compromising comfort. 

Thermal analysis indicates a temperature differential of 10.8°C between the controlled environment of Hanlon’s Gala and the Beer Cave, demonstrating a substantial thermal gradient across the boundary interface.

“This technology has really helped our store to stand out. Being the first of its kind, I’ve been blown away by the increase in beer sales, especially during the summer months.”
