Result
The temperature increase was greatly reduced using Frico air curtains. Measurements were taken with and without air curtains. Air curtains cannot assure 100% protection and allow a small amount of heat to enter . However, installing an air curtain will greatly reduce the air which requires cooling. The energy saving was measured and even exceeded expectation.

Compared to plastic strips, Frico showed energy savings.
- You receive a big energy saving in kWh, but it's even more interesting when you add all the other benefits such as:- less ice formation, lower maintenance and service, saving you money really fast, says Jonas Elmnäs. The smoother temperature curve which air curtains provide will extend the durability of food and medication or whichever produce is stored in the cold room, which also contributes to overall savings and efficiency.

Why Frico
Frico also tested against competitors´ air curtains to determine the difference between other air curtain brands
- It does matter which air curtain you choose, says Jonas Elmnäs. We have more than 45 years of experience in the development and manufacture of air curtains resulting in the knowledge that keeps us at the forefront.
Frico now offers an even better solution for air-conditioned rooms and cold rooms namely the PAEC air curtain series with EC motor. This enables the airflow to be ultimately optimized and provides maximum energy saving and protection in every unique installation.
-This also means saving energy when it comes to air curtain motor consumption as the air curtain speed is varied dependent on demand. We combine the EC motor with Frico's unique design including cross-flow fan, optimized intake grille as well as fan housing and exhaust grille which minimizes turbulence and provides a homogeneous air beam in the longitudinal direction. This means that Frico takes control of the air to create a powerful and laminar air flow for the highest level of protection. If you do not take control of the air at the intake, you willlimit performance which will result in a less efficient air curtain such as a box with a fan, says Jonas Elmnäs. We design all products according to Thermozone technology, which means optimized airflow, design and sound which makes the big difference.
