Slim Air Curtains
These slim units include the Low Profile 8 (CLC08). They are designed for commercial and retail customer entryways, requiring a function over form approach.
They are often used in back-of-the house operations such as receiving doors, employee entry points, and garage entries. Slim air curtains offer a basic approach to environmental separation by offering a simple on-or-off operation with the ability to add a delay if desired.
This grass-roots approach to environmental separation provides equal performance at a lower price point.
Architectural Air Curtains
The Berner Architectural series of air curtains includes the Architectural Elite 8 (AE08) and Architectural Low Profile 8 (ALC08).
These units are designed for commercial and retail customer entryways requiring a pleasant appearance.
Architects and designers who care about looks will like the sleek design, but an engineer will care more about how it works.
Architectural air curtains are usually put over the main entrance, where design is important, and are made to blend in with the space.
This equipment is provided as standard with Berner’s proprietary Intelli-Switch digital control which offers several pre-programmed sequences of operation as well as customizable programming
To enhance the control, the Berner AIR wireless control feature is available to provide wireless control of the equipment using a smart device app (both iOS & Android) or BACnet.
Recessed Air Curtain
Recessed air curtains mount flush with the ceiling and expose only the aluminum exterior. For aesthetic purposes, recessed air curtains protect indoor air quality while maintaining a seamless look inside the space.
These types are also known as “concealed” air curtains due to the box being recessed in the ceiling.
Like the other types of unique air curtains, these automatic air curtains can be configured to work with an application or program.
How they Work
Basic
There are different ways to use the air curtain, from turning it on and off manually to using it as an extra heater.
Many units include a digital control offering multiple sequences of operation. Below are a few of the pre-programmed sequences available.
- The air curtain will automatically turn on when the door is opened and off when the door is closed. SuitableThis a great option if the door is left open for an extended period of time and there is not a large amount of traffic.
Deluxe
Recommended for high traffic openings.
- The air curtain will automatically turn on when the door is opened. When the door is closed the unit will continue to run for a pre-set period of time (typically 30 seconds) before shutting off.
Comfort Plus
- The air curtain will automatically turn on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, the unit will continue to run for a pre-set period of time (typically 30 seconds) before shutting off.
- If there is still a call for heat after the time delay has expired, the speed will drop to a lower level and deliver heat until the thermostat is satisfied. This is recommended for high-traffic openings requiring supplemental heat.
