Windbox (WB) Air Curtain by Airtècnics: Reliable, Adaptable, and Energy-Saving
Key Features of the Windbox Air Curtain
Sturdy, Industrial-Grade Design
Constructed from durable galvanized steel, the Windbox air curtain is built to withstand high-traffic environments. Its casing is finished with a structural epoxy-polyester paint in standard RAL 9016 white, though other colors and stainless steel options are available upon request. This adaptability in finish makes it suitable for both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Multiple Installation Configurations
The Windbox series can be installed in various configurations, providing unmatched versatility for different spaces. Options include wall, ceiling, and vertical installations, allowing the Windbox to be tailored for unique entrance designs and specific functional needs. Its self-supporting structure further enhances the ease and flexibility of installation.
Efficient Climate Control
Equipped with high-performance double-inlet centrifugal fans driven by an external rotor motor, the Windbox air curtain creates a powerful yet quiet air barrier. This barrier effectively prevents outdoor air, dust, and pollutants from entering the building, ensuring consistent indoor temperatures and reducing strain on HVAC systems.
Heating Options for Year-Round Use
The Windbox is available with various heating options to suit different climates and needs:
- P Type: Water-heated coil for efficient heating in colder months.
- E Type: Electrical heating with three-stage regulation.
- A Type: Air-only option, ideal for warmer climates or when heating is unnecessary.
Advanced Control Options
Airtècnics provides Plug&Play control as standard, allowing for quick setup and easy operation. For enhanced functionality, businesses can opt for the Clever control system, which offers programmable and energy-saving features. Compatible with Modbus RTU, the Clever control allows seamless integration into Building Management Systems (BMS), enabling smart energy management.
CSA, UL, and AMCA Certification
Meeting North American safety and performance standards, the Windbox air curtain holds CSA, UL, and AMCA certifications. This triple certification ensures compliance with stringent regulatory requirements, verifying that the Windbox meets rigorous standards for safety, performance, and efficiency. The AMCA certification further confirms the Windbox's superior air movement and control capabilities, making it a reliable choice for commercial and industrial installations across Canada and the USA.
