Why You Should Add Air Curtains to Any Building Design

When opening doors to welcome customers into commercial buildings such as shopping centres, supermarkets, petrol stations, cafes, restaurants, or any other building that welcomes a large amounts of people, there is always going to be cross contamination and temperature transfer, which will affect your HVAC system performance. 

Air curtains were designed to work with these systems, so building owners can save energy and provide improved customer comfort, without compromising the buildings architectural style.  They do this by controlling the air transfer.  A door that is always opening and closing will bring outside air into the building, making traditional HVAC systems inefficient.  Air curtains keep this unwanted air outside, by creating an air barrier that controls the air transfer.  This keeps unwanted air from entering the building as well as insects, dust, leaves, smoke, pollution, germs and other airborne objects.  At the same time this maintains a stable temperature inside the building. 

Traditionally some types of air curtains can be an eyesore on building design.  Our VTS WING Air Curtains have a unique design that follows the airflow stream, and has been transformed into a modern shape.  This organic form was created so that people won’t feel like the air curtain is hanging over them upon entry to a building.  It's form is smooth so that it will blend in with even the most modern of spaces.  WING Air Curtains combine a unique design with outstanding efficiency to redefine the air curtain image.

Composite AHUs That Pass All The Tests For Laboratories

Sustainable protection of people and the environment is the main focus point when designing air treatment systems for laboratories. 

​The system has the task of creating a stable environment and a comfortable and healthy work environment for employees.  Specific ventilation requirements apply to each individual laboratory and depending on the BioSafety Levels (BSL) classified in NEN-EN 12 128, ventilation rates and filter classes are ranked. 
Supply of sufficient fresh air and the correct pressure differences per room or facility ensure that polluted air is removed and does not flow into the rest of the building. Our composite air handling units are suitable for the removal of contaminated air without the risk of corrosion.  With the corrosion class C5i/C5m, the high airtightness (L1) of the air handling units ensures minimal leakage from and to the room.
​
Does this ensure composite AHUs are energy efficient?
Yes.  To keep energy consumption as low as possible, the air supplied and extracted must be well coordinated with each other and with the process. Liberty Composite AHUs have the right operating systems available for this. These systems can communicate with the rest of the installation or the entire building management system.
 
Corrosion Resistance CX Extreme
  • Not only the casing, but also the internal partitions, support profile and even the foundation frame are made of corrosion resistant and lightweight composite as standard. (CX replaces C5i and C5m according to ISO 12944-2)
  • On request, components in the air handling unit can be supplied in composite, stainless steel 304, 316 or a protective epoxy coating
  • All fasteners are in stainless steel 304/316 (external/internal)
  • Cleaning with chemical cleaning agents is possible
  • Corrosion-resistance of the casing reduces maintenance and downtime
  • 12-year warranty on the casing, without costs and without conditions
 
Hygiene at the highest level with:

10 reasons why Composite Air Handling Units are part of the solution for the
​medical industry.

No matter which news platform you are looking at these days, it is impossible to get away from the continued pandemic coverage and the effects it continues to have on our economy and health system. 

​Dig just a little deeper and the negative impact it's having on our medical workers, aged care facility employees and all of our front-line carers, is undeniable when looking at the numbers of COVID infected cases, by industry.
There is no doubt that the air treatment systems within these facilities are an important part of the entire package of measures aimed at infection prevention.  Contamination and germs, the stability of the air management, filter class and air tightness of the air treatment system is crucial.  Equally important in aged care facilities, where residents often have a lower resistance, there are strict criteria for air quality and room conditions in order to create a minimal chance of germs and micro-organisms.
 
In addition to the high hygienic quality requirements, operating costs due to energy consumption and maintenance have a high priority in the selection of air treatment systems.

So why is this solution different?

The specific advantages of using composite AHUs within the medical industry include:
  1. Completely flat PET inner surface, so there are no hidden germs or places for them to move into
  2. Double durable hygienic seal on panels and access hatches, with low air leakage (L1) and has a hygiene certificate
  3. Locks with overpressure protection concealed in the inspection hatch and post, leaving a smooth hygienic inner wall (VDI 3803)
  4. No chance of condensation and moisture formation in unwanted places due to high insulation values (T1/TB1)
  5. Attenuators provided with hygiene certificate (removable)
  6. Filters are removable on the dirty side
  7. High mechanical strength (D1), resulting in minimal deformation / leakage at high system pressure
  8. Use of high-quality corrosion-resistant materials (composite or SS316) and hygienic components
  9. Configurations with optimum accessibility or cleanability on both sides of the components are possible
  10. Cleaning / disinfection with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide is possible
Bi-directional ventilation unit contamination air can be safely exhausted to the outside in this configuration without coming into contact with clean supply air.   Due to the twin coil heat recovery, the system becomes energy-efficient and in accordance with ERP requirements.

The newly developed adiabatic cooler with direct connection to town water

Adiabatic cooling in air handling units is used to either cool the air or increase the humidity, with the main focus usually on the cooling function. Most adiabatic coolers on the market are usually operated with water from a built in tank, which is circulated by a pump.
​The newly developed adiabatic cooler from Euroclima is connected directly to the town water supply. This considerably reduces the requirement for service and maintenance, as the constant emptying and discharge of the storage tank and its manual cleaning is no longer necessary. 

​Further benefits are a three-sided inclined tank - which meets the VDI 6022 criteria - is installed ensuring no water remains standing and the tank is completely emptied after the humidifier is switched off.  The piping is designed in such a way ensuring that all water can be drained after the system is switched off. This achieves important hygienic aspects and is useful in preventing freezing of the pipework which can be dangerous. 
The new adiabatic cooler nozzles emit a very fine spray and can operate at a pressure of between 2 to 10 bar.  A large number of nozzles are installed in this module, which significantly improves the efficiency of humidification via a very fine atomization.  The cooling can be controlled precisely via the inlet pressure ranging from 20 - 100% in control.  This is an ideal solution for operators seeking efficiency versus the investment costs of a high pressure humidifier or expensive water treatment.  This also achieves market driven demands for the hygienic aspects of operation with direct water with a reduced water consumption profile for the end user.
