GK Series Air Curtains for Commercial Entryways
Description

Mitsubishi Electric Air Curtains deliver powerful, low-noise airflow at entryways to block outdoor air, helping maintain a comfortable indoor environment while reducing energy costs. Their compact, stylish design allows them to be installed vertically or horizontally to suit a wide range of commercial spaces. Engineered for durability and easy maintenance, these air curtains offer energy-conscious businesses the perfect blend of comfort and reliability.

Key Features
  • Has the ability to create an air barrier on 2.5m or 3m doors (model dependent, see below).
  • Compact design allows for flexible installation vertically or horizontally to suit any situation.
  • The Twin Nozzle Design generates a larger airflow that minimises the impact of incoming air, providing greater insulation against external temperature fluctuations and ensuring stable indoor temperatures throughout the year.
  • The Propeller Fan has innovative technology that reduces noise while still creating powerful high-volume airflow.
  • The propeller fan design allows for easy maintenance without interrupting the overall operation of the unit.
  • By adjusting the installation angle of the air curtain, the airflow angle can be altered internally and externally.

Available in 4 different sizes:

  • GK–2509 (maximum door height of 2.5m and width 0.9m)
  • GK–2512 (maximum door height of 2.5m and width 1.2m)
  • GK–3009 (maximum door height of 3m and width 0.9m)
  • GK–3012 (maximum door height of 3m and width 1.2m)
Scope of Use

Air curtains are ideal for commercial and industrial spaces such as supermarkets, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and retail stores. They help maintain a clean, comfortable space while reducing heating and cooling energy costs in areas where entryways are frequently open to external environments.

  • Designed to be used in doorways ranging from 900mm – 1200mm wide.
Limitations on Use

Air curtains should not be installed in bathrooms or areas with excessive moisture readings of more than 90% relative humidity. 

Statement of Building Code Compliance

Mitsubishi Electric GK Series Air Curtains comply with the supplier declaration on conformity in accordance with IEC60335-2-80:2002, AMD 1:2004, AMD 2:2008, IEC60335-1:2010 AMD 1:2013, and AMD 2:2016 standards.

Other Performance Attributes

To evaluate the performance of the air curtain a shut-out test was carried out using CO2. Both the interior and exterior of a test room, measuring just over 5 metres wide, 8 metres deep, and 2.5 metres high, were filled with CO₂. The indoor temperature was set to 20°C, while the outside was 8°C. The model tested was the GK-2509.

The door was then opened, and the air curtain was turned on. Researchers measured how much CO2 stayed inside to assess the barrier effect. The results showed that the air curtain blocked approximately 70% to 90% of the heat, compared to a glass plate that blocks 100%.

Warranty and Maintenance

  • 1-year parts and labour warranty.
  • Maintenance should happen when the unit gets dirty, which, as a general rule, is roughly every 3 months.
