Smartelec– intelligent energy savings control for air curtains from Airbloc

ReznorInterested in saving 40% or more on your running costs and a short payback period on your investment?

SMARTELEC has the answer.

The SmartElec control is the latest energy saving enhancement from Airbloc, supplier of high performance, high efficiency over-door air curtains. With in-built intelligence, the SmartElec reduces power consumption and energy costs associated with electrically heated air curtains.

High street store trials show that with a SmartElec control installed, average energy savings in the region of 40% can be realised. These results were achieved on an exposed site during the winter months.  Savings greater than 40% maybe achieved on less exposed sites, during warmer months and with reduced outlet air set temperatures.

Suitable for new applications and possible retrofit to existing installations, SmartElec is packed with useful features that make installation and programming a cinch – adding real value to the contractor’s work, and putting precision control into the hands of the end-user.

The discreet surface or recess mounted program panel is wired to the air curtain using 24V Belden 8132 paired 4 core cable. Installation is quick and easy and the easy to use programming means that potentially expensive commissioning is avoided.

The program panel can be wired up to 50m away from the air curtain. The stainless steel slimline profile of the program panel is aesthetically pleasing and compliments most modern interiors.

The SmartElec control can link to building management systems. This enables integrated control of the climate around doorways that are in constant use with the rest of the building’s energy management systems.

SmartElec maintains constant air outlet set temperatures with built-in speed setting temperature compensation to prevent the effects of chill from the velocity of the air stream. The control monitors the air outlet set temperature and modulates to ensure comfort conditions are sustained, or quickly regained, when doors are opened.

Programming is straightforward – users select heat on/off, the required fan setting (two or three speed) and outlet air temperature setting. With such precise control of the air temperatures, the energy requirements of the air curtain can be managed effectively. The energy savings generated will significantly reduce running costs and provide a short payback period on your investment.

The SmartElec is suitable for use with Airbloc AC and Airbloc ACR three-phase electrically heated units.
