Exchequer Court in London features JS Air Curtains' products
UK-based air curtain supplier JS Air Curtains has installed two vertically mounted stainless steel Rund air curtains at Exchequer Court, a multi-storey office block in St Mary Axe, London.
The air curtains are designed to keep the draughts out and provide the main heating source within the large, open atrium of the reception area. The high ceiling of the atrium and the large revolving entrance door prohibited the use of air curtains suspended from the ceiling and demanded a high heating output to counteract the cold airflow. To meet the demand, the Rund air curtain with heating capacity and capability to mount vertically, has been used for the Exchequer Court.
The Rund air curtain is cylindrical and is available in five lengths from 1 metre to 3 metre with a variety of control options; including thermostats, door open sensors, outside temperature sensors and timers. It can be electrically heated or water heated, with outputs ranging from 3-36 kilo watt or supplied as an air-only model.
The double-inlet centrifugal fans provide up to 7,400 cubic metres per hour of airflow with less noise. This output makes the air curtain suitable for use on doorways up to 3.5 metre high or 7 metre wide, when used vertically at either side.
The Rund air curtain can be fitted with different mounting or suspension options to tie-in with an entrance’s architecture. The units can be mounted on round goal post-like supports that can stand across an entrance or shorter arms that attach it to a wall or ceiling. It can be hung with chains or poles or stood vertically at the side of the doorway.
