Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DoorFlow air curtain system by Biddle is engineered to improve comfort and energy efficiency at building entrances. It employs patented rectifier technology to create a laminar airstream, reducing turbulence and ensuring effective climate separation.
Features and Benefits
  • Minimalist design with customizable RAL paint colors.
  • Filter-free operation for lower maintenance needs.
  • Energy-saving with ECONTROL technology.
  • Available in water or electric heating, suitable for low water temperatures.
  • Mounting height up to 3.5 meters with four styles: free hanging, recessed, cassette, and single grille cassette.
How It Works
The system uses a patented rectifier to deliver conditioned air at low speed, ensuring the air stream reaches the floor without escaping outside, enhancing comfort and reducing energy waste.
Applications
Suitable for various environments, from boutiques to educational institutions. Its modular design allows for multiple units to be joined for wider door coverage, maintaining a comfortable indoor climate even with open doors.
Installation and Maintenance
Designed for minimal maintenance with a coil/heater battery that reduces dust build-up. Easy installation with threaded rods and a plug-and-play control panel. Various installation options include free-hanging, cassette, and recessed.
Controls
  • ECONTROL optimizes performance and minimizes energy usage, with 'Auto' and 'Manual' modes for heat output adjustment.
  • Remote control options via BMS for enabling/disabling units and controlling heating.
  • Additional control options include timers, door contact switches, and building management system integration.
Specifications
Available in different sizes and configurations to suit various door heights and widths, with options for water and electric heating.
Technical Details
The casing is made from zinc-plated steel, and the motor/fan assembly includes vibration-free centrifugal fans. The heater battery is designed for efficient heat transfer, with specific details on water flow rates and pressure drops.
Conclusion
The DoorFlow air curtain system provides a comprehensive solution for maintaining energy-efficient and comfortable entrance environments, with flexible installation and control options for a wide range of applications.

HOW IT WORKS As with all air curtains from Biddle the DoorFlow uses Biddle’s proven, patented rectifier to supply conditioned air at low speed with minimum turbulence, ensuring the air stream reaches the floor and doesn’t escape to the outside. Comfort within the entrance area is therefore enhanced without any energy wastage. APPLICATIONS Available in a variety of paint finishes, the DoorFlow has a minimalist style, being designed to look good in all types of entrance environment – from fashionable boutiques to schools and colleges. Modular in nature, any number of units can be joined together...

CONTROLS E NERGY SAVING ECONTROL The new ECONTROL will ensure air curtain performance is optimised whilst minimizing energy usage. Connecting the ECONTROL to DOORFLOW couldn't be easier-just plug one end of the cable into the air curtain and the other end into the controller. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE Carefully developed to minimise maintenance, a purpose designed coil/heater battery reduces the build-up of dust and debris between the coil fins to such an extent that filters are no longer necessary. Having no filters means the DoorFlow doesn’t just offer minimal maintenance but also provides...

C ONTROLS SCHEMATIC AND/OR CORRECT CHOICE OF UNIT ESSENTIAL FOR PERFORMANCE F or optimal functioning of the DoorFlow, selecting the right type of unit(s) is essential. If an air curtain has been selected well it is able to protect the entire width and height of the door opening. The unit must have sufficient heating capacity to be able to bring incoming cold air to a comfortable temperature. 1. INSTALLATION HEIGHT AND WIDTH INHIBIT HEALTHY Based on the installation height (from floor to the bottom of the unit) and the door width, it is easy to select the right air curtain (see selection table)....

SPECIFICATIONS CONTROL & OPERATION adjusting heat output and fan speed the By ECONTROL ensures air curtain performance is optimised whilst minimising energy usage. It is connected to the unit by a low voltage data cable with a RJ4/4 plug on both ends. Multiple units are also connected in this way. Cables are available in a variety of lengths. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS LPHW units are connected to the mains supply by a 2 metre cable. The 3-phase mains supply cable used with electric heated units enters the air curtain via a cable gland on top of the unit and is then connected to a terminal strip within...
