At Frico, we are proud to be able to offer energyefficient products for a better indoor climate. We are happy to share our knowledge and valuble experience within heating and energy efficiency.
In the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainability, companies are constantly looking for solutions to reduce energy use. An air curtain creates an air barrier between cold and hot, protecting heated or air-conditioned areas in buildings and cool rooms.
Mountain ranges tend to obstruct rain clouds, resulting in one side of the mountain being cold and damp, and the other side being hot and dry. Like mountains, air curtains also separate different climate zones. The air stream creates an invisible door that prevents the air from different areas to blend, an energy efficient solution regardless of whether you want to maintain a heated or cooled indoor climate.
A large retail chain, with more than 2000 stores in Thailand, has launched an energy-saving program for their entire organization. Frico air curtains are part of the concept and will protect air-conditioned premises and cold rooms.
Three times more effective against the infiltration of outside air, and far more energy efficient than vestibules. This was the result when air curtains were tested by the world's leading authority on air movement and system equipment for air.
Many things in our modern society are dependent on cold storage. Food and medicine are some examples. Thick insulated walls and doors are needed to keep the cold in place. But to transport goods in and out, doors need to be opened and closed.
Which is the most quiet air curtain? How big an entrance will the air curtain cover? For customers to make accurate comparisons, all manufacturers need to measure in the same way.
A CFD-analysis (Computational Fluid Dynamics) conducted by Mechartés has concluded that installing an air curtain from Frico would significantly reduce the exchange of air-conditioned air from the inside and hot air from the outside. The results show great energy and economic savings as well as an improved indoor climate.
If you’re one of those interested in an air curtain with a size of approximately 6 metres height and 12 metres width - hear us out! Air curtain UF600 creates a very effective air barrier for large industrial doorways.
As inviting as open doors and entrances may be, they are unsuspecting culprits leading to significant and costly energy losses and an overall poor indoor environment. Find out why here.
Extensive investigation published by AMCA gave results. Now air curtains are an approved alternative to building vestibules in American building code IECC 2015.
Eurovent is the European Committee for manufacturers of HVAC and representatives of major European national associations in the industry of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and cooling.
An application from Frico has been granted support from Vinnova (Swedish governmental agency for innovation systems) for a research project aiming for a proposal on a new measurement standard for air curtains.
Air conditioning consumes more energy than heating and demand for cooling, and particularly air conditioning, is growing exponentially.
Air curtains create an air barrier between hot and cold, both to prevent cold outdoor air from entering, while the heated air is kept inside, and to protect air conditioned premises and refrigerated rooms. A correctly installed air curtain reduces draughts, creates a comfortable indoor environment and reduces energy losses at doors and doorways.
Frico AB has redirected production in order to deliver 1,000 fan heaters to emergency shelters after the earthquake in Turkey in collaboration with Better Shelter.
