Conclusion
The IndAC2 air curtain provides a comprehensive solution for climate separation in industrial settings, combining advanced technology with energy efficiency and ease of use.
Technical Overview
The document includes technical specifications, procedures, and guidelines for the INDAC2 Industrial Air Curtain, covering water pressure loss calculations, sound level adjustments, heating capacity correction factors, and specifications for various models.
Waterside Pressure Loss
A formula is provided for calculating waterside pressure loss for unlisted water temperatures, requiring the determination of the water flow rate first.
Sound Level Adjustments
Sound data is measured at a 5m distance in a room with specific reverberation time and volume. Adjustments are necessary for different room conditions or multiple units, using a provided formula.
Correction Factors for Heating Capacity
Tables provide correction factors for heating capacity based on air inlet temperature and water range, noting specific conditions and limitations such as the maximum discharge temperature with automatic control.
Technical Specifications
Detailed specifications are provided for various models of the INDAC2 air curtain, including unit length, door dimensions, electrical supply, input power, fan power, weight, water range, speed settings, air volume, power consumption, heating capacity, discharge air temperature, water flow rate, water pressure drop, and sound pressure level.
Installation and Water Connections
Installation positions and water connection details are outlined, with an index explaining the components in the water connections sketch.

INDAC2-3

The Biddle IndAC2 industrial air curtain, is the perfect solution for separating climates in industrial buildings. Doors are often open for long periods of time to facilitate transport in and out of the building. The IndAC2 air curtain can be used for climate separation between indoor and outdoor environments and for indoor climate separation between two spaces with different temperatures.

Open doors cause energy loss and disturb the inside climate; the difference between the inside and outside temperature leads to an exchange of air, resulting in cold air entering and warm, heated air, flowing out. When the IndAC2 air curtain is mounted above or next to an open door it provides a very efficient climate separation at the lowest energy consumption. The comfort of staff operating near the door is improved by heating the cold incoming air through the air curtain, thus preventing draught. A corridor might seem like a relatively cheap option, but it can hinder traffic and make stock...

With the automatic control option fitted, the IndAC2 continuously selects the correct settings. Once the air curtain is installed and commissioned the user does not have to worry about the settings, as the output of the IndAC2 will adjust to meet the challenges of the environment. Sensors ensure that the IndAC2 is supplied with all details regarding the climate outside and inside near the doorway. All the information is continuously translated by the CHIPS technology into the correct setting of the air curtain. The temperature and fan speed of the IndAC2 are automatically adjusted, which means...

IMPRESSIVE TECHNOLOGY CHIPS With changing weather conditions and insufficient attention to or knowledge of an air curtain, it can be the case that an air curtain is not set up correctly. It can either blow too strong or too weak, with a discharge temperature that is too high or it is not switched on at all. Energy loss is a result with low comfort (draught) and an unnecessarily high noise level. Biddle has developed the fully automatic and energy saving CHIPS-technology to save energy and provide a high level of comfort. The CHIPS-technology adjusts the discharge temperature and the strength...

O PATENTED DOUBLE RECTIFIER Whilst developing the IndAC2, Biddle chose to use the well known outlet discharge pattern, the Double Rectifier. The IndAC2 is equipped with radial backward curved fans which homogeneously distribute the air across the whole discharge opening, producing high efficiency and comfort levels. If a conventional industrial air curtain without a rectifier discharges air at the same velocity as a unit with a Double Rectifier, the downward penetration is tangibly less. The air stream does not reach the floor, and the open door is not covered off properly. Consequences include...

The IndAC2 air curtain can come with a basic control option or the b-touch control. OlACCURATE stepless CONTROL The b-control is a 0-10V potentiometer that functions stepless and makes it easy to manually set the air curtain accurately to the desired fan speed. To be assured of the best possible climate separation the manual setting should be adjusted to circumstances several times a day. (■AUTOMATIC on and off Use of the optional door contact switch enables the IndAC2 to be automatically switched on when the door opens and off when the door is closed. qIenergy saving The IndAC2 is standard equipped...

INSTALLATION The available room layout around a door determines where and how an air curtain can be best installed. Thanks to a diverse range of installation positions, the IndAC2 air curtain can be matched to the constructional possibilities offered by the local situation. Depending on the situation, the air curtain is either installed horizontally above or vertically next to the door, covering the full length or width of the doorway. For the vertical position there are two options: square to the wall and parallel to the wall. The unit should always be positioned as close to the door as possible....
