Invisidor CITY

Product catalog summary
Overview of Climate Separation Technology
The Invisidor CITY air curtain by Biddle is engineered to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort by preventing the escape of conditioned air and conditioning incoming air. It is available in three models, including the CITY PowerPlus for higher entrances and a CB variant for use with condensing boilers.
Airflow Technology and Energy Efficiency
Biddle's patented rectifier technology reduces turbulence, enhancing jet throw by 30-40% and lowering energy consumption. The Invisidor CITY range can transfer up to 94% of heat input to the entrance area, aiding in room heating.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Biddle employs CFD to design air curtains tailored to specific building properties and weather conditions, assisting in product selection and energy savings estimation.
Control Options and Product Selector
The Invisidor range offers easy installation with a standard controls package and electronic touchpad controllers. It can be integrated with Building Management Systems (BMS) for remote operation. A product selector aids in choosing the appropriate model based on environmental factors.
Technical and Performance Data
The Invisidor CITY, CITY Plus, and CITY PowerPlus models are designed for various mounting heights and applications, with detailed specifications on heating capacity, air volume, and noise levels.
Condensing Boiler Range
These models are designed for use with lower water temperatures and offer energy efficiency with various casing styles and unit lengths.
Dimensional Drawings
Specifications for ceiling recessed, free-hanging, and cassette models are provided, detailing unit lengths, heights, and other measurements.
Specifications
Casings are made from zinc-coated steel with a white finish, and units include patented rectifier grilles for discharge air. Motor and fan assemblies are designed for optimal performance.
Fan and Motor Specifications
The document describes dual inlet, vibration-free centrifugal fans driven by suspended rotor motors. The fan casing and impeller are made from zinc-coated steel. Motors comply with EN 60-335-1, with protection class IP44 for CITY models and IP54 for CITYPlus and PowerPlus models, and insulation class F. All motors include thermal overload protection.
LPHW Heating Coil
The heating coil consists of copper tubes with aluminum fins. Water connections are G1" female thread. The test pressure is 30 bars, and the maximum operating pressure is 16 bars at 120°C.
Electric Heating Coil
The electric heating coil features aluminum fins and is managed by an electronic control board. High-temperature cut-out thermostats prevent overheating, and fans continue to operate until the elements cool down after the unit is switched off.
Control and Operation
The touchpad controller includes three buttons for fan speed control and manual on/off. Electrically heated units have additional buttons for 1st and 2nd stage heating control. The controller connects to the air curtain via a low voltage cable with RJ11 plugs, which can also interconnect multiple units. Enable inputs from a room thermostat, BMS, or door switch can connect to potential-free contacts on each unit.

Biddle Patented Airflow Technology Laminar Airflow Rectifier Pressure Chamber One of the main functions of an air curtain is to condition outdoor air as it enters the building. For this to be achieved the jet must cover the full width of the entrance, so that it cannot be bypassed by incoming air. However, ensuring the jet reaches the floor level is more difficult, with turbulence at the jet outlet being a critical factor. Along with the TNO wind tunnel facility at Apeldoorn in the Netherlands, Biddle have successfully developed a patented rectifier, which minimises turbulence in the discharge...

Computational Fluid Dynamics An air curtain mounted in a high street store functions very differently from the same unit at a shopping centre or hypermarket entrance. By looking at how the air curtain reacted with different buildings rather than considering the unit alone, Biddle was able to design an effective and efficient product. Biddle understands that various aspects of the air curtain design contribute to its effectiveness and efficiency in different ways. Along with Warwick University, Biddle developed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. By using this model, with information on...

Control Options With quick project turn-around times, any reduction in installation time is greatly beneficial. Biddle therefore supply a standard controls package which is simply connected between the unit and controller via a low voltage plug-in cable. Electronic touchpad controllers provide localised on/off, and three-speed control – as well as two heat settings on electric units. Each controller can control up to ten units, wired as master/slave. In all cases the Invisidor has volt free contacts for input of remote switching devices, namely, • Timers • Thermostats • Door switches • BMS etc...
