Air curtain sizing tool

Air Curtain Sizing Calculator

Doorway conditions for air curtain review: finished opening, mounting height, exposure, heat preference, voltage, and model data.

Door width and height MH mounting height Heat heated or unheated Data model data

Calculator Steps

Input Workflow

The calculator converts door measurements into clear air curtain review notes.

01

Measure the finished door width, clear opening height, and planned mounting height from finished floor.

02

Class the opening as retail, cold-room, service, or kitchen-adjacent so exposure is visible.

03

Capture heating preference, voltage, controls, and door-switch expectations before comparing air curtain series.

04

Treat the nominal width result as a review starting point, not final product approval.

05

Keep airflow, electrical, sound, mounting, and certification details tied to the selected model.

Result Notes

Calculation Output

The calculator result should identify the width class and technical details that need equipment review.

Nominal width

The rounded width helps frame the initial air curtain class for a finished opening.

Confirm actual product lengths.

Mounting review

Higher mounting heights can change velocity, discharge, and equipment-family review.

Send header or ceiling photos.

Exposure context

Retail, cold-room, service, and kitchen-adjacent openings have different operating expectations.

Name the door condition.

Electrical path

Heated units, voltage, controls, and door switches should be checked before review.

Confirm power early.

FAQs

Technical FAQs

Does the result guarantee a specific model?

No. The result summarizes selection inputs and prepares the next review.

Which doorway dimensions matter most?

Use finished door width, clear opening height, mounting height, and header clearance before comparing air curtain series.

When should heated air curtains be reviewed?

Review heated options when entrance comfort is part of the project, then confirm voltage, controls, and available mounting space.
