  • the parabolic velocity profile characteristic of a laminar airflow
  • the parabolic velocity profile also provides for an irregular air stream inside the air wall, thereby enhancing divergence of the air stream in this air wall.

  • Attachment points with rounded head are also arranged in the known example for attaching said connecting plates, this likewise resulting in divergence of the air stream in the air wall.
  • the surfaces forming the air outflow slit are usually also made too short , whereby not only does the asymmetrical embodiment of the air distributing box provide a slightly bending air wall relative to the axis inside the air outflow slit, but the turbulent character of this air stream is also insufficiently converted to laminar airflow, thereby creating a significant cause of divergence. Obtained here in the air distributing box is the influence, on the one hand of the dynamic pressure, at the beginning strong and subsequently decreasing, and on the other hand the uniform static pressure over the whole length of the air distributing box. The air stream coming from this air distributing box therefore has variations from the desired profile .

It is not always possible to have an air wall operate at ' a maximum airflow rate between the gusts of wind because of the nuisance caused by noise and draught.
  • bypass valve Between the gusts of wind the bypass valve must be opened over the fan at maximum operation. In contrast to closing of the bypass valve, which must take place in a fraction of a second, re-opening of the valve may take somewhat longer. The same also applies for once again narrowing the surfaces of the air stream, and for resetting the air wall in the original direction. Not all weather conditions with gusts of wind are the same. Nor is the angle of incidence on the door opening with air wall always the same. Measurement of all these weather conditions is possible. These measurement data can control the above stated elements via an automatic system subject to necessity and intensity.

  • the air can move downward, but also upward with a blower unit on the underside of the passage.
  • Heat exchangers with ice water can also be applied, preferably with an upward directed air stream with a view to discharge of condensed water.
  • the device comprises two fans connected on either side of the feed duct.
  • Such a blower unit can also be provided with a symmetrically arranged air separation from above the beginning of the air outflow slit and further in a straight line (vertically) to the casing thereabove.
  • Two fans can thus be connected, the one fan of which draws in the air to the left of the blower unit and the other of which draws in the air to the right of the blower unit .
  • the air to the left may have a temperature and absolute humidity differing from the air on the right.
  • the air stream is not mixed in the outflow slit and the air wall, whereby an air stream in the air wall is created with two mutually differing temperatures and humidities. Close to the floor the air on the left will move again to the left, and the same on the right.

  • a blower device can be embodied in two ways: firstly with the core of the blower unit attached fixedly in the housing, wherein a flexible connection is present between the casing and the air feed ducts to enable adjustment of the direction of the air wall; and another option is to uncouple both during the adjustment and to re-couple them following adjustment.
  • a second method consists of arranging above and below the air stream outlet a shaft or spindle which is connected to said frame, whereby the core of the blower unit is independently rotatable through an angle of about 40° .
  • sealing means such as strips or rubber/PVC profiles are arranged on the moving contact surfaces at the axis of the spindles in order to prevent air losses in the housing at any position or angle of the core of the blower unit .
  • the adjusting screw is situated on the surface of the above stated perforated plate. This adjusting screw can for instance be reached with a long screwdriver. The adjusting screw can be reached between the two surfaces of the outflow slit. Because the core of the blower unit can change direction, it is found that the above mentioned point can always be reached without internal disruption. A supplementary passage is therefore not necessary in the housing, thereby preventing air leakages.
  • the movement of the adjusting screw is transmitted to the flat adjusting plate via a threaded rod mounted in the frame and a mechanical transmission.
  • a drive for instance with a servomotor, must be added thereto which, for instance by means of an eccentric and a spring release, can provide for an immediate adjustment.

  • the control of the valve formed from a flat U-profile of the core of the blower unit likewise takes place via an adjusting screw.
  • This adjusting screw is situated on the surface of the above mentioned perforated plate and is connected to a threaded rod, held in the frame and with mechanical transmission in order to obtain a parallel adjustment of the valve opening on two sides along the whole length.
  • the same screwdriver as mentioned above can be used for adjustment purposes.
  • the adjustment of the blower device takes place with a threaded rod which connects the core of the blower device to an opening in the housing.
  • the position of at least the electric motor, the bearing of the drivable belt or the lever is preferably adjustable by means of a threaded rod which can be operated with a screwdriver.
  • a servomotor In the case the adjustment must be controlled at distance a servomotor must be used which, with an eccentric and a spring release, can provide for the immediate adjustment.
  • the housing with the blower device must develop an air wall which begins at the floor and ends against the false ceiling of the blower unit of the air wall, or vice versa. This also entails the blower slit also having to begin at the floor and end at the false ceiling.
  • the support of the housing must remain as close as possible to the floor. Not all floors are completely flat; the support must therefore be embodied such that a vertical adjustment in all directions is possible and that the usable height under the air blower slit remains ⁇ 1.5 cm.
  • a metal plate on which the casing can be mounted Around this metal plate with upright folds on both sides is placed a frame with options for fixing to the floor in addition to adjusting screws for small height adjustment and fixing.
  • An aspect of the invention relates to the ventilation means. These ventilation means must supply sufficient static pressure to overcome the losses in feed conduits and bends and in the blower unit. The dynamic pressure must also be sufficient to still have thrust after passing through said air circuit to close the width of the door opening with an air wall.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to the reuse of the air stream produced in the air wall. This air stream is preferably reused because it has a temperature and humidity which, on the temperature and humidity scale, lies roughly halfway between the two temperatures and humidities measured over the air wall as separation. This enhances the proper operation of the air wall as separation.
  • This icing is a result of turbulence, wherein unmixed small air volumes or parts move successively in front of and through the grid.
  • the first air part can be cold and dry, wherein the grid decreases in temperature, and a second part at the same location on the grid can be warmer and more humid.
  • the second air part can form and deposit ice crystals here, with the result that the grid can become clogged and eventually impede proper operation. Whether and how this ice deposition takes place depends on the temperature the grid can maintain during operation and the frequency of the temperature and humidity changes.
  • the separated air layers are kept separated as far as possible to a point beyond the suction grid.
  • rectangular suction units with frontal surfaces cannot be used for this purpose.
  • Suction units taking a triangular form, and equipped with a suction grid beginning roughly at the point of the triangle and ending roughly at the halfway point of this surface or before, can separate the secondary air streams to the left and right of the optionally combined primary air stream.
  • These secondary air streams will certainly become turbulent if they collide with a wall, although this does not affect the quality of the air at said suction grid.
  • Situated between the two said secondary air streams is the optionally combined primary air stream which is discharged via said suction grid for reuse in the air wall installation.
  • the triangular suction unit can be embodied in different ways.
  • a first embodiment is that of the isosceles triangle, although right-angled triangles to the left and right, with all scalene triangles therebetween, are possible. Triangles can also be connected at the base to a rectangle in order to enable fitting into determined insertion, and variants thereof.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides an air extraction unit placed upstream of the fan and comprising a prismatic discharge duct with a cross-section having an acute angle, wherein the acute angle is turned toward the direction from which the air for extraction is supplied, and that a feed opening is arranged in a wall adjacent to the acute edge.
  • the direction of the primary air stream in the air wall determines the temperature and humidity in this generated air wall. If the primary air stream is directed slightly inward, i.e. to the side of the cold store, the temperature of this air stream will then rise because more air is then drawn from the warmest secondary air stream. More moisture from outside can in this way enter the cold store. If the primary air stream is directed slightly outward away from the side of the cold store, the temperature of this air stream will then fall because more air is then drawn from the colder secondary air stream. It is the intention to direct the primary air stream of the air wall as accurately as possible toward the triangular suction unit, assisted here by a vane at the point of the triangular suction unit which is adjustable. This vane can take an integrally straight or twisted form.
  • This twisted vane then takes into account the difference in pressure which is characteristic of the differences in quality of the bounded air volumes and which occurs at the top and bottom of the door opening of a cold store .
  • This twisted vane can also be embodied in a plurality of straight pieces which can be oriented gradually one below another, more or less corresponding to said twisted vane.
  • a preferred embodiment therefore provides the measure that a panel extending in lengthwise direction and connected tiltably to the discharge duct is placed on the acute edge of the duct.
  • the primary air stream of the optionally composite air wall must be drawn in uniformly over the height of the suction unit, knowing that internally the air in the suction unit is discharged at the top.
  • the suction grid will have to take an adjustable form such that a narrowing is created at the top with a greater pressure difference than at the bottom, where the maximum opening remains in place at lower pressure difference.
  • Such a grid can be manufactured by laying onto each other two identical perforated plates with an air passage of between 15 and 60%, preferably 30%.
  • the perforations can be round, although other shapes are also possible provided the intended purpose is achieved. If the perforations are open to the maximum at all locations in this grid, the maximum chosen air passage is then obtained.
  • This air wall with the described blower unit and suction unit can also be placed successively, in opposite direction in each case, and further air walls can be added thereto to the extent the difference in temperature and humidity makes this necessary.
  • An additional consequence of the use of a plurality of air walls in a door opening is that the difference in temperature and humidity will decrease when compared to the use of only one air wall.
  • the transverse pressure on the air wall at the top and bottom will hereby also decrease, thereby at least partially eliminating a source of heat and moisture losses.
  • a preferred embodiment therefore relates to a blower unit wherein a compressed air device is present in the discharge duct which is adapted to guide a compressed air flow to the feed opening.
