Summary

Wind tunnel tests have made it possible to design a new ventilation grid: changes in computer-assisted modelling parameters better show the behaviour of the air jet, by varying its velocity and its dimensions, together with the effects of outdoor air pressure on the air curtain. Heat loss in the new model is half that of existing air curtains on the market; its features improve indoor comfort conditions and save energy.
