JS Air Curtains has supplied and installed a 7.4 m long stainless steel Rund air curtain system for a recent refurbishment in central London.
The bespoke system installed at 151 Buckingham Palace Road, comprises two 2 m long air curtains with a dummy section at each end. The air curtain system was specified by building services consultants, The Anslow Partnership. The air curtains create a barrier of air to help prevent cold air from entering the reception area even with the doors in regular use.
The early 1990's landmark property is situated adjacent to Victoria Station and is mainly office space which is let to the Government and includes organisations such as the National Audit Office.
A horizontal steel beam runs across the width of the reception area, onto which the cylindrical brushed stainless steel air curtain system is secured. Services are supplied at one end so all cabling is concealed.
The two operating Rund air curtains each incorporate 18 kW electric heaters but hot water heating and air only models are also available. The Rund air curtain can be produced in any single length from 1 to 3 m with multiple units capable of accommodating any width of entrance. Fan powers vary from 1,875 to 6,475m
3, making the air curtain ideal for sealing doorways up to 3.5 m high.
The Rund has many mounting options and can be held horizontally on brackets, suspended on rods, mounted on post-type arms either from the floor, ceiling or walls, or stood vertically on the floor. It is supplied with a control panel and 20 m of plug and play RJ45 cable but can also be connected to a BMS.
