Keeping Doors Open in Factories Increases Heating Costs

Uncontrolled air movements in factories due to doors that are frequently opened or kept open all the time increase heating costs. However, it is possible to prevent heat losses with precautions.

According to a study conducted by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, high-efficiency air curtains prevent heat losses caused by doors that are kept open in factories and warehouses, and provide energy savings of up to 30 percent.

Çukurova Heat Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, who said, “Air curtains act as a barrier in separating indoor and outdoor air in industrial facilities,” drew attention to the advantages that industrial facilities will gain with air curtains.

Doors that are constantly opened or kept open due to the high shipment traffic in factories and warehouses cause heat losses. Heat losses increase the electricity or natural gas bills of businesses. Because uncontrolled air movements in cold weather mean that heating systems are constantly operating.

Reduces the load on heating systems

“Placed on the top or side of the entrance door in industrial facilities and warehouses, air curtains separate indoor air from outdoor air, providing a comfortable indoor air temperature for employees.

Minimizing heat losses and reducing the load on existing heating systems, air curtains reduce the energy bills of industrial facilities by up to 30 percent.

Prevents drafts and protects the health of employees

Air curtains, which prevent air changes caused by outdoor weather conditions in indoor spaces of factories and warehouses, also protect the health of employees by preventing drafts in closed spaces.

Prevents the entry of insects, dust, particles and odors into the interior
