The need to keep external air draughts from entering open industrial doorways
has existed for some time and has now been met with success. Experience and
technical advancements in this area have led to a most effective means of
controlling unnecessary losses in heat dispersion. One of the most damning factors
in providing a pleasant working environment is without doubt the infiltration of cold
air draughts. This problem represents a constant health risk to personnel while at
the same time compromising their productivity. However, the advantages that come
with the installation of CARLIEUKLIMA air barriers are many.
The air barrier blocks out cold air infiltration, thus allowing work to be carried out
in areas adjacent to doorways and protecting personnel from exposure to cold
related illnesses. By blocking out cold air draughts, the air barriers are able to
maintain the desired ambience temperature throughout the work place area, even in
proximity to doorways and entrances, thus maximizing usage of the total floor space
area. As well as blocking out cold air, this invisible barrier also helps to break up
internal air layers and so provide a more even dispersion of heat within the building.
The heat loss due to cold air infiltration is considerable but difficult to quantify, due
to many contributing factors; however, we can say with certainty that the EUWIND
air barrier system will drastically reduce heat loss to the extent that its initial
investment cost will be recuperated in less than two seasons of operation. |
