What Makes the CS Air Curtain Stand Out?

Purpose-Built for Cold Storage

The Thermoscreens CS Air Curtain is engineered specifically for cold storage environments. Positioned inside the cold store, it prevents the loss of expensive conditioned air and reduces the workload on chillers and condensers. This translates into:

  • Energy Efficiency: Minimises energy loss and reduces operational costs.
  • Cost Savings: Cuts energy consumption, offering a quick return on investment.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Climate Control.

At the heart of the CS Air Curtain is its innovative use of energy-efficient EC fans, which recirculate ambient air to form a robust thermal barrier. This thermal barrier effectively prevents warm external air from entering the cold storage environment, maintaining a stable internal temperature.

Thermoscreens CS Air Curtain

The CS Air Curtain creates climate separation at the doorway, ensuring warm humid air can not make its way inside. This reduces the amount of ice and frost build up that is able to form.

– Enhanced Safety: Reduces slippery surfaces, ensuring a safer working environment for employees.

– Lower Maintenance Costs: Prevents ice build-up, reducing the need for frequent defrosting and costly equipment repairs.

Eliminating Ice Build-Up for Safer Operations.

Ice and frost buildup in cold stores can cause significant operational challenges, from safety hazards to reduced energy efficiency. Understanding how ice and frost form, why they are problematic, and how to prevent them is crucial for maintaining a well-functioning and cost-effective cold storage environment.

How Ice and Frost Are Formed

Ice and frost accumulate when warm, humid air enters a cold store. The cold temperatures inside the store cause the moisture in the incoming air to condense and freeze on floors, walls, and equipment. This is especially common in high-traffic areas where doors are frequently opened, or when traditional barriers like PVC strip curtains fail to maintain adequate climate separation.

A Sustainable and Efficient Alternative.

Unlike traditional methods such as PVC strip curtains or insulated doors, the CS Air Curtain delivers more reliable climate separation.

  • Constant Climate Separation: Maintains stable internal temperatures without constant wear or frequent replacement.
  • Reduced Plastic Waste: Eliminates the need for PVC strips, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
  • Energy Savings: EC fans and reduced defrost cycles significantly cut energy usage, lowering your carbon footprint.

Impact on Sustainability

The CS Air Curtain doesn’t just save costs—it’s an environmentally friendly solution for the cold chain. By reducing energy consumption and the frequency of defrost cycles, it plays a pivotal role in lowering carbon emissions.

Key Sustainability Benefits:

  • Potential savings of £15,472 annually in energy costs.
  • Reduction of 23,322kg CO2 emissions per year for a typical cold store.
  • Decreased plastic waste from eliminating PVC strips.

Comprehensive Monitoring for Total Control

The CS Air Curtain can be equipped with an advanced monitoring system for precise performance tracking.

Features Include:

  • Temperature Sensors: Monitor internal and external temperatures to maintain climate control.
  • Door Switches: Track door opening frequency to optimise the air curtain’s operation.

Pre Air Curtain

The graph above evidences the temperature within the cold store before the air curtain was installed. The blue line indicates that the peak temperature in the cold store exceeded 7.5°C. The orange box shows the defrost cycle, which affects the air temperature within the room, bringing it down to -1°C. The green box illustrates a temperature difference of approximately 5°C between the front and the back of the room. Lastly, the red box marks the compressor turning off after reaching the set point, with this cycle lasting 15 minutes.

Post Air Curtain

This graph highlights the temperature within the cold store after the air curtain was installed. In contrast, the blue line now shows a peak temperature of -11°C, an improvement of 18.5°C. The orange box also shows a peak at -11°C marking an improvement of 11°C. The green box indicates that the temperature difference from the front to the back is now within 1°C, creating a more stable environment. Additionally, the red box highlights that the compressor turns off and remains off for up to 4 hours.
