SENSAIR COMFORT AIR CURTAIN
The SensAir includes all knowledge Biddle has gathered the past 60 years with regard to climate separation in a door opening.
Auto-active control of energy and comfort
The Sensair ensures high energy savings and a comfortable indoor climate by cleverly combining four technologies. The patented i-sense infrared technology collects the temperature data in the door opening, the automatic CHIPS translates it continuously it into the correct setting and the optimal climate separation is created by means of the Controlled Air strength and rectifier technology.
Intelligent control and monitoring
Biddle has an extensive range of control options: a local control by means of the b-touch, remote monitoring (b-connect) or integration in a Building Management System using the standard integrated Modbus connection.

A new wave in climate separation
SensAir air curtains are the ideal solution for retailers and other end-users to combat the issue of climate separation across their
outlet or office building doorway. The importance of accessibility to attract customers in the retail sector is well-known, but with this
free form of access through ‘open door’ trading, cold draughts and high-energy bills are often the consequence.
High comfort and energy efficient
The SensAir technology has been improved to deliver greater comfort for all, whether it is in a supermarket, high street store or office building. The SensAir air curtain, does not act as a barrier in the place of a door, its prime role is to reduce the amount of warm air leaving the building and condition the incoming air to a comfortable temperature.
BSRIA and Biddle research produced documented evidence proving that air curtains operate best with specific velocities and air volumes. The SensAir air curtain satisfies these needs by delivering the right air flow and temperature at the right time automatically, reducing energy loss. Furthermore it is the only commercially available air curtain of its kind that now offers a unique air damper system to improve efficiency, by controlling the outlet velocity.
Intelligent auto-active control and monitoring
The auto-active control is the next generation of controls. Knowing that manual control of air curtains often leads to the incorrect setting the inclusion of the automatic CHIPS (Corrective Heating & Impulse Prediction System) technology ensures the most appropriate setting at any moment in time. The i-sense in the discharge grille measures the indoor and outdoor temperatures active in the door opening resulting in accurate data. This auto-active control has been demonstrated to produce energy saving savings of up to 75% when compared with a manually controlled air curtain.
Biddle has an extensive range of control options: the b-touch control panel, remote monitoring of comfort and energy performance and connecting to a BMS is easy through the standard integrated Modbus connection.
