Air Curtains are used for a wide variety of applications from thermal barriers at shopping mall entrances, to fly and insect prevention at restaurant service doors, to factory freight doors for wind resistance and temperature separation. The air curtain enables traffic to flow unobstructed through openings while maintaining distinct environments, thus resulting in energy savings. The most common type of air curtain is the horizontal, non- recirculating, single jet type. It will satisfy the majority of needs for commercial and industrial applications. The discharge velocity of the air curtain can range
INTRODUCTION TO AIR CURTAINS
from 600 ft/min, for entranceways, to over 5,000 ft/min, for sealing environments from wind effects and insects. The Leading Edge Technical Guide is designed to assist the air curtain planner in understanding how this technology works, where air curtains are typically used, and their advantages. This document provides a complete description of Leading Edge Air Curtains including construction, performance, accessories and installation. Also included is an energy savings calculation procedure, along with a compilation of the most frequently asked questions. critical velocity and volume flow as well as at a discharge angle selected for its particular application.
How Air Curtains Work
Air curtains consist of a fan and nozzle system which create a jet of high velocity air directed across a door opening, providing a protective air shield. The air shield minimizes the transfer of heat, moisture, dust, fumes and insects through the doorway. Air curtains, as illustrated in Figure 1, pull in air and accelerate it through the fan and nozzle system, thus creating a moving wall of air across the opening or doorway. The air curtain fan adds kinetic energy to the air, providing the resistance to the penetration of unwanted air or particles. This added kinetic energy in the discharge air also resists the penetration of outside air due to the wind, as well as the invasion of insects. The air is provided at a
Applications are: Thermal Barriers for conditioned space isolation; Wind Resistance for protecting exterior doorways in FIGURE 1 buildings from unconditioned air; Interior Separation for particle and dust control; and Fly and Insect Control for sanitation maintenance. Each application is discussed in more detail in the following pages. natural convection flow of air, provide excellent resistance to the penetration of outside winds, and prevent the intrusion of flies and insects, fumes and dust. Air curtains also reduce mechanical door maintenance costs, and are more aesthetically appealing than plastic strip doors or high- speed doors. 4
Advantages of Air Curtains
Air curtains provide environmental separation for open doorways. This is achieved without the drawbacks of visibility-limiting solid barriers such as strip and impact doors.
Air curtains reduce the risk of accidents by allowing vehicles and people to move through without obstructions to visibility or movement. While allowing this freedom of movement through doorways, air curtains minimize the
Thermal Barriers (Conditioned Air)
When dividing spaces with temperature differences, the air curtain prevents the natural flow of air caused by differing temperatures. The difference between indoor and outdoor temperature creates an imbalance in density, and therefore a pressure variation which causes the infiltration of outside air. Figure 2 illustrates the loss of conditioned air before and after the installation of an air curtain at the doorway. As an example, during the winter heating season, the outside colder denser air flows through the bottom half of
BEFORE
the doorway into the interior of the building. The warmer, lighter air flows to the outside through the top half of the open doorway. For large openings, this results in excessive energy losses. The installation of a properly-designed air curtain at the top of the doorway provides a shield of high velocity air that deflects the natural convection air flow. This significantly reduces the exchange of air and energy between warm and cold sides, resulting in monetary savings (see page 28-32 for energy savings calculations).

In many instances, the infiltration of unconditioned air is driven by a combination of the temperature difference and the added problem of a prevailing wind at a door opening.
loss of energy at unprotected doorways.
Figure 3 illustrates a prevailing wind at an open doorway before and after the installation of an air curtain. Without the air curtain at the doorway, the prevailing wind will flow into a tight structure through about one-half of the area and conditioned air will flow out of the other half. If there is a loose structure the prevailing wind could enter through the entire area of the doorway, resulting in a significant
Air curtains resist this infiltration of outside unconditioned air (see Figure 3) by blocking and deflecting the incoming wind. To protect the opening against incoming wind, the air curtain must generate a shield of high velocity air that is strong enough to deflect the force of the wind. Wind Resistance is achieved by using a well designed air curtain with an appropriate velocity and volume of air, directed at the appropriate angle at the exterior doorway.

Fly and Insect Control (Sanitation Maintenance)

Sanitation maintenance applications require that the air curtain prevents the entry of airborne insects. For fly and insect control the air curtain projects the high velocity jet across the opening, thus deflecting and prohibiting the entrance of unsanitary insects. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 37 requires that service entry units shall develop
BEFORE
an air stream that is at least 3 inches thick with a minimum air velocity of 1600 ft/min, across the entire entryway measured at 3 feet, above the floor. Proper design, selection and installation of an air curtain will allow this standard to be met, maintaining sanitary conditions.

Interior Separation (Separating Environments)

In many facilities there often exist manufacturing or production areas adjacent to either offices or other clean environments,
such as shown in Figure 5. The production side may generate fumes, dust and heat which are undesirable in the adjacent areas.
Air curtains are ideally suited for these applications, repelling the undesirables without restricting traffic. The air curtain is mounted on the clean side so as not to

circulate the contaminants through the unit, as well as to prevent blowing the contaminants into the clean side.

Selection Guidelines
There are several factors to consider before selecting an air curtain. The following text will help you to better understand the conditions that affect this selection process.
The primary function of an air curtain is to seal an opening with a stream of air. The discharge velocity must be strong enough that the jet flow completely spans the doorway from top to bottom and across the entire width of the opening. For applications such as fly and insect control which require maximum protection, it is common and accepted to use a more powerful air curtain in order to achieve the necessary level of protection. In some applications, such as customer entrances, this would prove to be uncomfortable to patrons walking under the air curtain. For this reason the air curtain is designed to provide less velocity to avoid
discomfort to patrons. In this scenario a heated air curtain may be used during the heating season (see pages 22-25). A factor often confused as a wind condition is negative pressure. Negative pressure is created when more air is exhausted from a building than is replaced. Any application involving negative pressure should be discussed with the factory.
Leading Edge has created individual selection guides, as well as a master compilation of these guides (see page 12). These recommendations should be used as a basis for air curtain selection. Since it is impossible to generalize all conditions which may influence a particular application, we welcome all questions regarding air curtain selections. For this we have provided a form (see pages 33-34) which may be faxed or mailed to us for additional technical evaluation by our Application Engineering Department.

DESIGN FEATURES
ADVANTAGE LEADING EDGE
Leading Edge is the originator of unitized construction and has subsequently received US Patents for all of its designs. Aside from the obvious advantages of shipping, handling and installation, we consider performance the primary design criteria. All Leading Edge Air Curtains are manufactured as optimized single units engineered to a given motor HP, speed (RPM), and blower wheel size to achieve the desired maximum performance. This patented method of construction allows us to engineer the prescribed intake and discharge area for the required back pressure. This allows us to achieve maximum outlet velocity uniformity.
An example of our construction (see diagram below) would be our 120 - inch air curtain model which consists of three motor blower assemblies required to achieve maximum performance. A competitor offers its 120 - inch model with only two motor blowers assemblies. Testing proves that our design provides superior outlet velocity uniformity.
Example: 2 @ 1/2HP (Competitors model by request)
Our performance testing proves that when comparing our patented unitized cabinet designs to our competitors standard cabinet designs, we achieve maximum performance ratings. Testing proves that the maximum effective width of a single motor blower assembly is 48 inches, and this construction parameter is used on all of our models. Other manufacturers using similar motor blower designs use a guideline of up to 60 inches effective width.
Example: 3 @ 1 1/2 HP (Model E1200-3150RF)

SMART-TRAC Adjustable Mounting System
INSTALLATION ADVANTAGES: When suspension mounting an air curtain, a common problem is the existence of overhead pipes, conduits, beams, etc. which impede the alignment and mounting of an air curtain. The exclusive Leading Edge Smart-Trac Mounting System allows for six-way adjustment at the cabinet to compensate for possible overhead obstacles. This mounting method also allows for efficient elevation and positioning of the air curtain during installation. Competitors models, with pre-drilled mounting holes, lack the flexibility of Smart-Trac. Their mounting method for installation does not compensate for overhead obstacles and alignment. The installer must make such adjustments at the beam rather than at the cabinet. This operation is both cumbersome and timeconsuming and often left to the discretion of the installer. Smart-Trac saves both time and installation costs.
AN EXCLUSIVE OPTIONAL FEATURE OF THE HIGH VOLOCITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERIES...THE ONLY EFFICIENT METHOD OF LIFTING AND POSITIONING ANY INDUSTRIAL AIR CURTAIN DURING INSTALLATION.
(Pat. Pend.)
Special Features:
6-WAY ADJUSTMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL ELECTRICALLY HEATED SERIES

SINGLE PHASE
For use in customer entrances to treat incoming cold air where a gentle flow of air is desired for customer comfort.
For use in vestibules, lobbies, staging areas, reception areas, waiting rooms and other customer greeting areas. Heated air curtains are not designed to hold 100% of incoming cold air, as the required air velocity generated would be uncomfortable to patrons. The incoming cold air is entrained in the warm curtain of air, thus maintaining comfort levels. Heated units also reduce the wind chill effect of personnel walking through or standing near an opening.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Heated units supplied with pre-wired heater control box for efficient installation. Wall-mounted 24-volt thermostat for temperature control.

Applications: For use in vestibules. lobbies, staging areas, reception areas, waiting rooms and other customer greeting areas. Heated air curtains are not designed to hold 100% of incom ing cold air, as the required air velocity generated would be uncomfortable to patrons. The incoming cold air is entrained in the warm curtain of air, thus maintaining comfort levels. Heated units also reduce the wind chill effect of personnel walking through or standing near openings. Special Features: New modular designed cabinet allows 8 to 48 kilowatts of heating capacity, in lengths ranging from 36 to 144 inches. Large, easily accessible pre-wired control box is side mounted and features a hinged swing down access panel. Easily visible indicator lights on control panel alerts operator when power to the unit is on and when fan and heat are operating. Helical coil heating element modules are easily replaceable. Heating elements are thermally protected and include a pilot light feature. Hinged element control panel is located in front of nozzle and swings down for servicing. Air-flow safety sensor disables heating element in the event motor/blowers need servicing or are wired incorrectly. Wall-mounted 24-volt thermostat for temperature control. Can be operated with or without heat for winter and summer operation. Exclusive Smart-Trac II Adjustable Mounting System Optional on all models.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

LEADING EDGE
The following information has been grouped by category to quickly and easily direct you to the appropriate answer to your question. Below are seven categories which comprise the most common or frequently asked questions to Leading Edge. If you have any additional questions, please call for assistance.
Q. Who is Leading Edge Ventilation Products? A. Leading Edge Ventilation Products is a successful 22-year-old firm that manufactures and distributes a premium quality line of specialized ventilation products consisting of commercial and industrial air curtains, ceiling fans and air circulators. Q. Are Leading Edge products available nationally and worldwide? A. Yes, Leading Edge manufactures its products in all-world voltages and is distributed nationwide and in over 30 countries.
CONSTRUCTION
effectiveness. These applications should be discussed with our Application Engineering Department.
Q. Do you offer plastic air curtain cabinets? A. No, all Leading Edge cabinets are galvanized steel with an exclusive powder primer and electrostatically-applied enamel finish. Plastic cabinets, although less expensive, absorb dirt and are virtually impossible to clean. Plastic cabinets also lack the rigidity of longer-length models and are less durable than steel. Q. What is the maximum effective width allowed per single motor-blower assembly? A. We limit our effective width to 48 inches per motor blower assembly in order to achieve maximum performance and outlet uniformity. Our competitors identical blowers use a guideline of up to 60-inch effective width, which we find unacceptable (See Page 10). Q. Does Leading Edge offer variable speed models that use solid state controls? A. No, all electric motors have a bothersome 60 Hz humming noise when speed is varied using solid state controls. We use 2-speed motors to eliminate this noise problem.
APPLICATIONS
Q. Why does Leading Edge offer so many models? A. We design and build models with the specific air performance rating best suited to meet the requirements of most applications. Models range from a compact 24-inch wide drive thru unit to a 144-inch wide freight door unit. This wide range of models is required to adequately serve the many application areas explained in this guide. Q. Do Leading Edge Air Curtains meet NSF requirements? A. Yes, select Food Service models are UL Sanitation-listed to meet NSF Standard 37 (See Page 15).
Q. Does negative pressure or positive pressure affect air curtain performance? A. Yes, a pressure difference between two environments creates a natural tendency for air flow from the area of higher pressure to the area of lower pressure. This natural phenomenon can overtake the air stream of the air curtain and drastically reduce its
Q. What is the difference between an interior and exterior door? A. An interior door separates two interior environments, while an exterior door is one that separates the interior environment from the exterior environment. Exterior doorway does not mean the air curtain is mounted outside.
37
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ACCESSORIES
Q. What is the function of an automatic door switch? A. This switch mounts at the doorway to activate the motor upon door opening (See Page 21). It is wired directly to a single-phase line for 120/220 volt air curtains. For 3-phase units motor control panels are required (See Page 21).
A. Yes, all Leading Edge Air Curtains are designed for easy installation. The LowProfile, Environmental and High Velocity Series are provided with a keyhole mounting template. The High Volume Series features Smart-Trac as standard equipment. All model series come with a comprehensive eight-page operating, installation and parts manual. Q. Can an air curtain be mounted above a drop ceiling? A. Yes, the air curtain can be recess-mounted above a drop ceiling. However, provisions must be made for make-up air.
Q. Which applications require the use of an intake air filter? A. A filter should be used if the Air Curtain is either near a food preparation area or an extremely dust- and dirt-ridden environment (See Page 20).
Q. What is the difference between a control panel and a motor starter? A. A control panel reduces the line voltage to accommodate the 120-volt instant on/off automatic door switch. A motor starter is a relatively inexpensive manual on/off switch for 3-phase units, which is available locally.
HEATED AIR CURTAINS
Q. Will an electrically-heated air curtain keep cold air from entering my restaurant? A. Heated air curtains are not designed to hold 100% of incoming cold air, as the required air velocity generated of the unit would be uncomfortable to patrons. The incoming cold air is entrained in the warm curtain of air, thus maintaining comfort levels.
Q. Should an air curtain be mounted inside a cooler/freezer? A. No, the air curtain should not be mounted inside a cooler/freezer. If mounted inside the unit it will pump cold air out of the cooler/ freezer. The movement of the cold air at high velocities creates discomfort for personnel near the door, and stirring up the cold air may lead to fog. Q. Are Leading Edge Air Curtains easy to field wire? A. Yes, all Leading Edge Air Curtains are internally-wired to convenient junction boxes located on the side or top of the unit. All electrical installations should be done by a qualified electrician to local code.
Q. Can an air curtain be mounted over a roll up door? A. Yes, Leading Edge offers a variety of mounting systems to facilitate various installations- (See page 26-27).
Q. Can I use an instant on/off switch on a heated air curtain? A. No, use of an instant on/off automatic switch on a heated air curtain would render the heat ineffective. When the door opened, the heated air curtain would be energized. The door would have been closed before the element/ coil could reach operating temperature. Thus, minimal heat would be provided. Q. Which type of heat should be used: electric, steam or hot water? A. Electric heat is used primarily for commercial applications to treat incoming cold air. Steam or hot water may be used for industrial applications, depending on the heat source available.
MAINTENANCE AND APPEARANCE
Q. Are Leading Edge Air Curtains easy to clean? A. All Leading Edge Air Curtains are constructed of galvanized corrosion-resistant steel, coated with a chip-resistant beige epoxy enamel, which is easily wiped clean with a rag using any brand of commercial cleaner. Q. Are Leading Edge Food Service and Sanitation Air Curtains easy to maintain and clean? A. Yes, inspection and removal of the motorblower assembly requires no tools. All parts are easily accessible. All bearings are permanently-lubricated, rubber-sealed and require no maintenance.
INSTALLATION
Q. Are Leading Edge Air Curtains easy to install?
