TTI Air Curtain

Air curtains condition incoming air and reduce the amount of warm or cold air escaping from a building without acting as a physical barrier. An air curtain enhances comfort for customers and employees while saving energy.

TTI Air Curtain

Continually opening and closing a conventional door releases vast amounts of cool air or heat to the outdoors. Using TTI Air Curtains saves energy costs and eliminates the need for supplemental heaters at the entranceway. Having the ability to leave your door open makes the entrance to your establishment much more inviting.

An air curtain is a stream of high-velocity conditioned air that flows across a door opening. This air current creates an invisible barrier between the indoor and outdoor environment. It will seal out cold and seal in heat or air conditioning, repel insects and keep out smoke.

Using a patented rectifier and constant air velocity (CA) technology ensures that conditioned air is supplied at the optimum velocity, volume and temperature to meet the comfort requirements of customers and employees whatever the weather.

Other features include a carefully controlled combination of discharge air volume, air temperature and air velocity available in six strengths which can be selected manually via a touchpad or a building management system. Timer clocks, door contact switches or room thermostats can also be integrated into the control strategy to ensure not just optimum comfort but optimum energy efficiency.

The flexibility in control means that whatever the conditions and whatever your control requirements, the Air Curtain will conserve energy by intelligently using as little power as necessary.

How It Works



General air flow patterns





Open door with TTI Air Curtain featuring rectifier
  • Air stream reaches the floor at lowest possible speed, so that maximum passing-through comfort is guaranteed
  • Theoretical efficiency > 90%
  • Heat from the air curtain benefits the indoor climate
Open door with TTI Air Curtain without rectifier
  • Because of turbulence, air stream does not reach the floor so the door is not screened enough
  • Inefficient because of heat loss
  • Still drafty at the floor
Open door without TTI Air Curtain
  • Much energy loss due to heat loss through open door
  • Drafty and cold in the building
