New Air Curtains

An air curtain installation is the most ordinary way to save energy, but, taking into account a heavy deficit of space in small rooms, it is sometimes impossible. This problem can easily be solved by MINI air curtains, ARKTOS has started to produce recently.
"Diminitive" dimensions of MINI permit it to be effective operating at 2 meters height and reducing heat loss for 70-80%. Built-in fan speed and heating capacity switches make it possible to select necessary operation mode, and integrated thermostat is provided for keeping the preset temperature. In summer period when running in "no-heating" mode, MINI air curtain prevent excessive outdoor heat penetration into air-conditioned rooms and protect them from exhaust gases, insects and dust. Owing to its up-to-date design, this air curtain will blend with any kind of interior, whether it is industrial, administrative or living room.

ZASLON ("Screen") air curtains have become another innovation of ARKTOS. These air curtains are capable to be installed both horizontally and vertically in rooms having up to 6 meters height and width. The airflow makes effective protection even at fully wide open doors or gates. The effect will be even stronger when you use adjustable louvers, which permit to change air stream direction. The air curtains can optionally be supplied with remote control units to change airflow. One control unit is capable to control several air curtains.

CLASSIC Series of air curtains has been extended with CLASSIC B unit using water heater as a source of heating, which can find the most effective application in the rooms with insufficient quantity of alloted electric energy, when the main load is upon central and local heating.

All ARKTOS air curtains are being manufactured in conformity with Quality Management ISO 9001: 2000 and meet all Russian regulations and European standards.
