Air Curtains: Small Install, Big Energy Impact.
Published on 17th April, 2025
It goes without saying that maintaining a temperature-controlled facility requires careful indoor climate management, and in these cases where insulation must counter significant temperature contrasts between inside and outside, air curtains serve as an effective application—minimising thermal loss and ultimately contributing to energy savings and reduced emissions.
In their simplest form, air curtains create an invisible barrier of circulating heated or cooled air at openings as well as reduce the infiltration of external contaminants. Achieving consistent performance across ambient, chilled, and frozen environments, however, requires more than just proper installation. At ISD Solutions, we take a proactive approach by monitoring performance for integrated control, optimising efficiency, and ensuring hassle-free maintenance to deliver long-term commercial benefits over time.
Fully Optimised: Remote & Integrated Control
Following the design, supply, and installation, our integrated controller enables remote commissioning of the air curtains once up and running. This allows us to configure units, adjust fan speeds, and regulate settings to achieve optimal climate conditions. Over time, we can fine-tune the fan speeds to ensure ongoing efficiency, while also, preventing ice build-up and extending compressor cycles – all contributing to a longer lifespan of the device.
After all, this removes the need for in-person visits, preventing disruptions to daily operations and providing peace of mind with continuous monitoring by our team.
Hassel Free Maintenance: Online Dashboard
And if anything goes wrong? Our online dashboard gives us full visibility of every active air curtain, instantly alerting us to any unit issues or unusual temperature fluctuations. Clients can rest assured—we handle all maintenance needs proactively, with no action required on their part.
Our nationwide network of service engineers are equipped with replacement fans to ensure swift, efficient resolutions—responding promptly, whether remotely or in person.
We’ve already seen the real-world benefits. One air curtain installed in a supermarket cold store has operated for over two years without a single defrost cycle. For new large-scale builds, air curtains are a smart, cost-effective investment—helping to offset cold store expenses through substantial energy savings.
If you need assistance or would like to discuss air curtain servicing, please get in touch with our Maintenance team.
We are experts in cold storage construction, firewalls, data-centres and single envelope cladding.
