Industrial air curtains – reduce energy losses and draughts
Energy losses at open industrial doors? Not necessarily.
In many industrial buildings, doors remain open for extended periods as part of everyday operations. During this time, heated or cooled indoor air can escape while outside air enters the building. This can increase heating or cooling requirements and cause uncomfortable draughts, particularly at workstations close to the door.
Industrial air curtains create a directed air stream across the open doorway, reducing the exchange of indoor and outdoor air without restricting access. Forklifts, pallet trucks and employees can continue to pass through the doorway while the air curtain helps to reduce energy losses and draughts.
Teddington offers industrial air curtains for a wide range of door sizes and building situations – from compact systems for smaller industrial doors and loading areas to solutions for large and particularly tall industrial doors.
Why Teddington? Because efficiency must be measurable!
The patented CONVERGO® pressure chamber nozzle system produces a stable, precisely directed air stream across the door opening while requiring a lower air volume than conventional air curtain systems. As a result, less air needs to be heated.
Air curtains with CONVERGO® technology require around 30% less heating capacity than comparable conventional air curtains.
Combined with the reduction in air exchange through the open door, this can significantly reduce the heating requirement associated with the doorway.
A better climate for people and processes
Reducing cold air ingress and draughts can improve thermal comfort at workstations close to industrial doors. This can be particularly important in production and logistics areas where employees regularly work near frequently opened doors.
More stable indoor temperatures can also be beneficial for production areas in which temperature fluctuations affect processes, products or working conditions. By reducing the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, industrial air curtains can help to limit these fluctuations.
That's why you benefit from Teddington industrial air curtains
Reduced energy losses
Heated or cooled indoor air can escape through open, unprotected industrial doors. Air curtains reduce this air exchange and can therefore help to reduce heating or cooling requirements.
Reduced heating and cooling requirements
Lower heating or cooling requirements can – depending on the energy system used – also reduce the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
Improved working conditions
Reducing cold air ingress and draughts can improve thermal comfort for employees working close to frequently opened industrial doors.
Patented technology
A correctly selected and sized Teddington air curtain can reduce energy losses at an open, unprotected door by up to 80%.

Tested performance
Every Teddington air curtain is individually tested before delivery. Performance data such as airflow rates, discharge velocities and sound emissions are specified in accordance with ISO 27327 and monitored by ILK Dresden.
For new and existing buildings
Whether for a new building or an existing facility, Teddington industrial air curtains can be integrated into new projects or retrofitted to existing industrial doors. Depending on the application, units are available for ambient operation or with different heating options.
Different housing types allow horizontal or vertical installation, with different air intake arrangements for a range of structural situations, including installations around sectional doors. Modular configurations are available for particularly wide door openings.
Industrial air curtains for different door sizes and applications
Every building has different requirements – whether in terms of size, use or structural conditions. That is why Teddington offers a wide range of industrial air curtain models that are precisely tailored to these requirements. From compact units for loading ramps to powerful solutions for large industrial doors: every model impresses with its sophisticated technology, high efficiency and variety of designs and features.
RATIOVENT
The Ratiovent is Teddington’s versatile industrial air curtain for a wide range of industrial door applications. Five housing types, horizontal or vertical installation and the patented CONVERGO® pressure chamber nozzle system provide flexibility for different door and building situations.
Air discharge range: Up to 7.00 m
Heating: Ambient, LTHW (water), Steam / hot water
INDUVENT
The Induvent is a compact industrial air curtain for applications where additional heating is not required. It is available for horizontal or vertical installation and can also be used to reduce the spread of odour emissions, for example at recycling facilities.
Air discharge range: Up to 4.00 m
Heating: Exclusively as a recirculation device without heating
E-SERIES INDUSTRY
The E-Series Industry is a compact air curtain for smaller industrial doors. Different housing types, custom unit lengths and horizontal or vertical installation provide flexibility for different door and building situations.
Air discharge range: Up to 4.40 m
Heating: Ambient, LTHW (water), Electric, R410a / R32 (VRF)
C-SERIES INDUSTRY
The C-Series Industry is a compact, filterless air curtain designed particularly for smaller door openings and loading bay and dock areas.
Air discharge range: Up to 3.30 m
Heating: Ambient, LTHW (water), Electric, R410a / R32 (VRF)
ROBUVENT
The Robuvent is a robust, cost-effective air curtain for industrial doors. Its galvanised sheet steel housing, CORRIGO® air discharge system and horizontal or vertical installation options provide a straightforward solution for industrial applications.
Air discharge range: Up to 6.00 m
Heating: Available as a recirculation unit and heated with LTHW (water)
FRIGUVENT
The Friguvent is designed specifically for doors in cold storage and freezer rooms. It reduces the exchange of cold and warm air and can help to reduce cooling losses, ice, condensation and mist around the doorway.
Air discharge range: Up to 3.00 m
Heating: Exclusively as a recirculation device without heating
More than 50 years of air curtain experience
Teddington has been developing and manufacturing air curtain systems in-house for over 50 years – quality ‘Made in Germany’. The devices are specially designed for their individual area of application and built in numerous variants depending on requirements. Performance data such as air volumes, discharge velocities and noise emissions are specified in accordance with ISO 27327 and monitored by the Institute for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology (ILK) in Dresden.
Teddington air curtains are used worldwide across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, automotive production, rail transport, food production, logistics and airports. Different product ranges and housing types allow the systems to be adapted to a variety of door dimensions, operating conditions and installation requirements.
Application example
Industrial air curtains in a production facility with factory traffic
Requirement: In a production facility with several opposing doors, air was flowing in at high speed, resulting in significant temperature differences between different areas of the hall and the outside area. This meant that valuable energy was being lost at the doors due to the escaping air.
Solution: The installation of Ratiovent air curtains reduced the uncontrolled airflow through the opposing door openings and helped to limit the associated energy losses. Access for deliveries and internal transport remained unrestricted. Workstations close to the doors also benefited from reduced draughts and improved thermal comfort.
Application example
Industrial air curtains in the shipping area of the logistics department
Requirement: A logistics company was experiencing disruptive draughts during loading and unloading operations due to the open dock doors. The expensively conditioned indoor air was escaping uncontrollably from the hall.
Solution: Effective shielding was achieved by installing Teddington C-Series Industry air curtains above the doors. This resulted in savings of up to 80% of the thermal energy required to maintain the indoor air temperature. In addition, the draughts were successfully reduced, which significantly improved the working environment in the shipping area.
Teddington offers control solutions ranging from straightforward basic controllers to automatic systems for more complex air curtain installations.
