Thermal insulation for defined temperature zones

Thermal zoning with air walls

When companies need different temperatures in different production areas, accurate thermal separation is essential.

However, every passageway that is necessary for the smooth running of production represents a gap in temperature management: Doors and gates are difficult to seal reliably. Air walls can close precisely this gap by preventing air exchange with a precise air jet.

Important for companies: Keeping temperatures stable

Constant temperatures are essential for many businesses. However, it becomes problematic when, for example, food has to be cooled before processing, while in production machines need optimum working temperatures and finished products are deep-frozen. This requires precise and clever temperature zoning.

In large production halls, this is a non-trivial challenge: how to seperate tempereture zones from each other when employees regularly enter and leave the rooms at the same time for the various production steps? The solution is accurate walls made of air.

Precise thermal zoning thanks to innovative technology

Air walls accelerate air to high speeds and thus separate air masses. Installed above or to the side of doors and gates, they ensure a precise, controllable room climate. Expensively cooled air from a cold chamber does not escape, waste heat from production halls does not interfere with cooling chains and temperatures in workrooms can remain comfortable for employees. The technology we use is energy-efficient and sustainably reduces ancillary costs and emissions. Thanks to the separation by air, passageways remain barrier-free, and employees can pass through them just as easily as forklift trucks or autonomous logistics vehicles.

FAQ

What is thermal zoning in industrial facilities?

Thermal zoning describes the controlled separation of different temperature areas within the same industrial building. In automated warehouses and battery production facilities, thermal zoning helps maintain stable process conditions while reducing energy losses and avoiding physical barriers.

How does air-based thermal separation work?

Why are conventional air curtains often unsuitable for high-bay warehouses?

What are the advantages of thermal zoning in battery production?
