Air curtains for odour control
Air curtains can help reduce the ingress of unpleasant odours into indoor spaces, but they are not a complete odour-control solution. They generate an airflow that acts as an air barrier and minimises air exchange between inside and outside. This makes it more difficult for external odours to enter the building or for odours from inside, for example from waste, traffic or agricultural processes, to escape outdoors. However, air curtains cannot neutralise odours that are already present inside the room.
Reducing odour emissions with industrial air curtains
Air curtains are used in the waste-management industry to reduce the spread of odour emissions from recycling and waste-processing areas. The generated airflow reduces air exchange through open industrial doors and can therefore help to keep odour-laden air inside the building.
Our Induvent industrial air curtain has demonstrated its effectiveness in minimising odour emissions through TÜV certification and, depending on the building situation, can provide a space-saving alternative to a conventional airlock solution.
Without air curtains, odour emissions can spread freely into the surrounding environment.
The industrial air curtain creates an air barrier and reduces the spread of odour-laden air into the surrounding environment.
Application example
Industrial air curtains to reduce odour emissions at waste treatment facilities
Requirement: Odour emissions from waste treatment facilities can be a major challenge, particularly in densely populated areas.
Solution: Instead of installing a space-consuming and costly airlock, a TÜV-certified Teddington industrial air curtain from the Induvent Series was installed at the doors of the waste treatment facility. The air curtain has demonstrated its effectiveness in minimising odour emissions through TÜV certification and, depending on the building situation, can provide a space-saving alternative to a conventional airlock solution.
