Intelligent energy saving control for air curtains
September 24th 2008

High street retail store trials show that with a SmartElec control installed, average energy savings in excess of 40% can be realised, even on exposed sites during the winter months. Documented savings of 65.4% have been achieved over a year long trial.

Suitable for new applications and possible retrofit to existing installations, SmartElec is packed with useful features that ensure rapid installation and programming – adding real value to the contractor’s work and putting precision control into the hands of the end-user.

The program panel can be wired up to 50m away from the air curtain and can link to building management systems for on/off enabling integration with the rest of the building’s energy management systems.

SmartElec maintains constant air outlet set temperatures with built-in speed setting temperature compensation to prevent the effects of chill from the velocity of the air stream. The control monitors the air outlet set temperature and modulates to ensure comfort conditions are sustained, or quickly regained, when doors are opened.

The SmartElec is suitable for use with Airbloc AC and Airbloc ACR three-phase electrically heated units.
