Natural ventilation is a sustainable solution to maintaining healthy and comfortable
environmental conditions in buildings. However, the effective design, construction and …

Air curtains have been widely used as a barrier against infiltrations and associated energy
losses through building entrances while still permitting an unobstructed pedestrian …

This paper presents a parametric study on the performance of an air curtain installed over an
access door of a refrigerated room. The aim of this work is to quantify, in an integrated way …

Air curtains have been widely used to reduce infiltration through door openings and save
heating/cooling energy in different types of buildings. Previous studies have found that there …

The infiltration of cold air through the open doors is controlled using air curtains, resulting in
lower thermal loss and higher energy efficiency in the buildings. Meanwhile, severe outdoor …

An air curtain is often installed at a building entrance as an air barrier to reduce infiltration
and resultant energy and air quality concerns. Due to its direct contact with the ambient …

Air curtains are used to reduce the heat and mass exchange across open doorways. Their
sealing ability is assessed in terms of the effectiveness in the ventilation-driven regime, and …

Dealing with buoyancy-driven flow to reduce infiltration heat is challenging for buildings
such as cold storages where the indoor-outdoor temperature differences are significant. In …

Air curtains (ACs) are plane turbulent impinging jets that are used to separate two
environments in terms of heat and mass transfer while still allowing traffic between these …

Due to the lack of effective environmental control systems, Emperor Qin's Mausoleum
Museum is facing problems of air pollution and excessive environmental fluctuations, which …
