Air Curtains for Large Buildings Doors

Air Curtains for Large Buildings Doors

The idea of having an invisible barrier across the doorway to enable unimpeded access yet effectively prevent temperature flow, dust, odours and insects to cross, is appealing in itself but add to this the cost-saving in reducing energy use and the idea becomes more compelling, especially as air curtains are relatively inexpensive items.

Appropriate for industrial applications
Keeping warm air out of insulated cold stores or refrigerated facilities is the Number 1 objective yet a mockery is made of this premise when freezer of chiller doors are left wide open and, in some cases, chocked open to facilitate the movement or storage of perishables.

Self-generated pressure evolves from a non-circulatory type of air curtain as the jet induces ambient air into the stream. When the air curtain is installed on the outside of a cold room, the air spills back into the room and continues to do so until the pressure builds up to such a point that the air stream deflects to the outside.

The pressure-form-stack effect evolves when the cold air in the room is denser than the warmer outside air. The higher the ceiling, the higher the pressure becomes inside the cold room. The velocity of the air curtain should therefore be high enough to compensate for the outward pressure at the lower part of the cold room.

Wind pressures occur because of the conversion of the velocity pressure in the wind into static pressure. Of particular significance is the stability of the air curtain, which is directed by its outlet momentum. The curtain of air must be able to withstand pressure variations between the inside and the outside of the cold room. The outlet momentum should be sufficiently sustained and strong enough to stabilise the air at the floor. It is therefore essential to incorporate controls in the design of the air curtain to increase the strength of the velocity and ensure a stiff curtain of air and to decrease the velocity to prevent unnecessary heat and moisture transfer at the door.

In refrigeration applications, a high volume of turbulent air hitting the floor tens to form ice on the floor of freezers – this is not desirable or necessary so air flow needs to be adjusted so that it barely hits the floor. This can be accomplished by adjusting air louvers or fan speed to obtain the desired velocity. Drafts are eliminated by ensuring that air flow is vertical. The air curtain may be mounted on either the warm or cold side of the cooler with equal effectiveness.

The volume of air flow varies according to temperature difference between internal and external air and air exchange is therefore caused by thermal temperature differences. Using known values for the indoor and outdoor temperature difference, the densities, pressure differences and ultimately the air flow through the opening can be calculated.

Properly installed air curtains cut cold air loss and reduce humidity, thus reducing the load on refrigeration or air-conditioning plant and thereby saving energy by reducing compressor running time, maintenance, gas and recharging intervals. These units are an alternative to fast-acting roller doors and PVC slat curtains, and can be situated above or to the side of industrial doorways to create a powerful seal across the opening, keeping cold air in while providing complete visibility and access. This means that forklift drivers don’t have to get out of their cabs to open and close doors so that moving from one area to another is a lot easier and productive. Unlike plastic slat curtains, which quickly become opaque with use, an air curtain provides 100% visibility at all times. Units have been installed in loading bays, factories, hangars and production facilities, such as food processing and pharmaceuticals, where differential temperatures are encountered overseas.

Canadian Air Systems Co. is a well known designer and manufacturer of industrial and commercial air curatain systems and environmental air barriers.

For special applications Canadian Air Systems offer tangential air curtains to achieve high volume alminar air flow – to create permanent environmental air barriers.

How to Clean Your Neff Built Under Double Oven

Posted on September 2, 2010 by admin

How to Clean Your Neff Built Under Double Oven

The double ovens that are available from Neff feature two oven cavities and each has at least three different cooking options- the number of options increases, the higher the series of oven he model is. For example, the series six Neff ovens will have more cooking options than the more basic series one ovens, but all have at least three.

Neff seem to have done a pretty good job of making the maintenance of their built under double ovens as easy and the least time consuming as is possible and have built in or provided accessories that are designed to make keeping your oven clean with the least effort from you.

One of these accessories is the CeramiClean® Liners that can be placed on the back, sides and ceiling of each of the oven cavities. They work by absorbing and oxidising the grease particles that can build up over time inside your oven to prevent them from getting out of control and leaving you with a really grimy oven. This is a one off purchase from Neff and the CeramiClean® liners should never need replacing, making them a pretty good investment in the cleanliness of the inside of your Neff built under double oven.

A cleaning function that is built in to some of Neff’s ovens is the AquaCleanse® technology, which works by softening greasy residues that can then be wiped away. This feature does require a little bit of elbow grease from whoever’s job it is to clean the oven, but not as much as you might expect. To clean your Neff built under double oven using this feature, wait until the oven has cooled down immediately after cooking. You will need to add three quarters of a pint of water and some washing up liquid to the base of your oven. You then need to select the Q symbol on the control panel of your oven. This function works by activating the bottom heat function and heating the water that is mixed with the washing up liquid to a temperature of 60ºC. This produces steam throughout the oven cavity and effectively steam cleans the oven by softening any greasy deposits that may have built up over time. When the water cools down, you then have to wipe out the inside of the oven with a sponge or a cloth- a process that is made far easier by the AquaCleanse® function, but does not eradicate entirely the need for some manual input. But another benefit of this function is that it is very environmentally friendly and does not use much energy.

Unlike the other two cleaning options, Pyrolytic cleaning is a self cleaning system and requires very little manual work. It is only available on the B4562 and B4472 models. The process works by heating the oven to around 500°C, which burns off any deposits from baking, roasting and grilling as you can imagine at that heat. You are left with a perfectly clean oven and a little bit of fine ash residue that is easy to remove with a damp cloth. Because of the high heat that the oven reaches during this process, the oven door automatically locks until the oven has cooled to a safer level. This takes about an hour or two and can be run overnight by using the timer.

Braeg Heneffe has worked in the Kitchen Appliances industry for over 10 years. He runs a website and promotes all major brands.

He specializes in Neff

The New Hotpoint OpenSpace Oven. The perfect recipee for success. Cleaning of the oven could not be easier thanks to the large split cavity oven and availability of PYROCLATIC LININGS. Pyrolytic cleaning is a self cleaning system for ovens. The process superheats the oven to approximately 500 degrees centigrade, which burns off any deposits from baking, roasting and grilling. A little information on this innovative new product from hotpoint. This new oven allows for the function of a double oven, but fitted into a single oven space.

Medical Diagnosis and Emergency Medical Services

Posted on September 1, 2010 by admin

Medical Diagnosis and Emergency Medical Services

Medical diagnosis has two different medical dictionary definitions. The first is âthe detection of a disease or condition by its external symptoms or signsâ. The second is âthe analysis of the primary biochemical or physiological cause of a disease or conditionâ.

Medical diagnosis includes a wide range of tests. Combined study of such tests is the method for medical diagnostics. The conclusion obtained through medical diagnosis is diagnosis.

Emergency Medical Services:

Emergency medical services (EMS) are the services provided out-of-hospital for transportation purposes, to best care centers for patients in cases of emergency. One of the most common emergency medical services is the ambulance service.

In certain nations, people refer an EMS organization as a first aid squad, rescue squad, ambulance squad, life squad, ambulance corps, ambulance service or emergency squad. The aim of EMS is to offer treatment to those in medical urgencies or to take them to a definitive health care center.

Queen Isabella of Spain used the very first ambulance service, in the year 1487. A major reason for this ambulance service was to serve the Spanish army.

Air Ambulance Services:

Air ambulance services are the aircrafts used for emergency medical help in certain remote places, where it is difficult for an usual ambulance to reach. The crew members of air ambulance services are always ready with equipments that offer medical treatment to seriously inured or ill patients.

Certain common equipments for air ambulance services are medicines, CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), stretchers, respirators, an ECG and a monitoring unit.

The medical squad of an air ambulance varies depending on nation, area, provider and type of air ambulance service. It contains more than one member such as a Paramedic or an Emergency Medical Technician, physician or sometimes a flight nurse.

Pilots of air ambulance service need to have a huge deal of experience in piloting, since the conditions for air ambulance aircrafts are very challenging.

Therefore, all the pilots, crew members and the aircraft of air ambulance service itself need to satisfy all the standards of safety. Sometimes, space is present for one or more passengers along with the patient in almost every air ambulance.

A Guide to Spiral Staircases

Posted on August 30, 2010 by admin

by Jano De Cesare

A Guide to Spiral Staircases

Spiral Stairs are staircases that are constructed solely of tapered treads wrapping around a central column. As they twist round in a tight curve they offer a very space-saving solution when accessing a different floor, taking up considerably less floor space than a conventional staircase.

In medieval times, spiral staircases were commonly located in circular castle turrets and were often constructed in stone. They were configured in a clockwise assent to give attacking right handed swordsmen a disadvantage whilst ascending.

These days spiral staircase designs have developed dramatically and whilst maintaining their space saving benefits, are manufactured in a variety of materials such as glass and stainless steel. They now offer the right property a stunning alternative to a standard staircase, becoming a stylish ‘feature’ of a room.

Due to their tight construction they are not overly easy for the elderly or disabled to use and moving large pieces of furniture between floors can prove tricky. For safety reasons there are currently various rules and regulations governing the size of spirals staircases installed in new builds and renovations in residential and commercial settings.

UK Building Regulations

Spiral staircases have their own ‘British Standard’ dedicated to them – BS 5395 part 2. The BS is referred to in Building Regulations part K and ensures the spiral staircase is large enough for the given application.

Within the document, spirals are divided into five categories, A-E with A being a secondary domestic spiral and E being a large fully public spiral. Each category dictates the relationship between the rise (height of each step) and going (depth of each step) and ‘clear tread width’ (the distance from the inside of the handrail to the centre column) required for the spirals’ usage. Generally, the more people the spiral is providing access to, the larger diameter and the smaller the rise height, making it safer and more comfortable to climb.

Domestic Spiral Staircases

With domestic spirals there are two generally rules to adhere with – there should be no gap between the treads or the balustrade of more than 100mm, and the balustrade should not be constructed with climbable rails.

Category A and B of BS 5395 deal with the measurement requirements for domestic spiral staircases. Category A is referred to as a secondary domestic spiral and category B covers spirals used as main stairs within a dwelling.

The clear tread width of a secondary spiral should be 600mm which (depending on the specific model / design) gives a 1450mm diameter when taking into consideration the centre column and the balustrade to both sides. The height of each step should not exceed 220mm and the centre going should be at least 145mm. A spiral used as a main staircase should have a clear tread width of 800mm (1800mm diameter) and 220mm maximum rise and a 190mm minimum central going. Generally the opening in the floor for a spiral should be around 100mm larger than the diameter whether the opening is square / rectangular or circular. For example a 1600mm diameter spiral should have a 1700mm square or diameter opening. This is to allow for a 50mm ‘knuckle gap’ between the handrail and edge of floor / wall on both sides. The top step of a spiral staircase is normally an enlarged step which connects the centre column to the edge of the floor. This top landing platform can sometimes be shaped to allow for slightly smaller openings.

Commercial Spiral Staircases

Categories C-E of BS5395 covers the required dimensions for commercial staircases – those to be used by the public. The guidance ensures that people unfamiliar with the spiral can use it safely. With all commercial spirals staircases there is a requirement of a centre column handrail and a ‘rest’ platform if the flight consists of more than 16 risers.

Category C is for a small semi-public stair and has to have a rise height of no more than 220mm and a clear tread width of 800mm. The diameter of this (with the centre column handrail in place) is therefore around 1900-2000mm. Category D is for a semi public stair serving more than 50 people. The regulation looks for a minimum rises of 190mm and a clear tread with of 900mm (2100mm diameter).

Category E deals with spirals intended to be used by large number of people at one time – shopping centre or football stadium for instance. A 1000mm clear tread width is required along with a 190mm maximum rise and 250mm minimum going measurement.

The guidelines covered by BS5395 are subject to interpretation by planning offices and are not always set in stone. A relaxant is sometimes offered when, for example, one is replacing an existing spiral.

OVERVIEW

Spiral Staircases offer the right property a stunning solution when accessing an upper level. There are a vast number of different models currently on the UK market with many off-the-shelf kit solutions imported from Europe. Should you be looking to install / purchase a spiral, it is important to check with the supplier that is up to UK standards. If in doubt, check with your building control officer.

Derek Rogers is a freelance writer who writes for a number of UK businesses. For information and advice on Spiral Staircases, he recommends Complete Stair Systems.

Environmentally sensitive English limestone used for luxury apartments in Montrose Place, London

Environmentally sensitive English limestone used for luxury apartments in Montrose Place, London

Goldholme Stone’s Lincolnshire limestone is ranked at No. 1 for six of the eight environmental impacts assessed, and No. 2 for the remaining two. And with an overall score of just 42, it achieves the lowest environmental impact score of the six, commonly specified building materials in the study. The next best material, clay brick, scores 91 while third ranked reconstituted stone scores 141.

The study, ‘A Comparison of the Environmental Impact of Various Building Materials’, (researched and compiled by environmental assessment consultant Hughes Craven [formerly Halletec Associates]), compares five construction materials to Goldholme Stone’s Lincolnshire limestone. Clay Brick, Reconstituted Stone, Timber Cladding, Glass/Steel and Plastic Cladding were assessed and ranked alongside the limestone for the following environmental impacts:-

Energy in manufacture Pollutants emitted Waste in production Impact of processing plant Life of product Maintenance in service Carbon dioxide footprint Recycling potential

The results give assurance to a growing number of environmentally conscious architects like Hamiltons and supports their decision to use English limestone for both aesthetic and sustainability reasons. Hamiltons director Craig Casci said they chose it “Because it is a UK stone and it was greatly liked by Westminster Planning Department and a more interesting alternative to Portland, with warmer tones, especially when wet. We also specify loadbearing stone and the strength and hardness met the specification.”

The stone was fixed by London stone contractor Stonewest and Mr. Casci noted that the finished building “has generated a great amount of interest from both press and public.”

Phil Kerry, Managing Director of Goldholme Stone commented, “We’re pleased the environmental impact of building materials has become an important issue for the construction industry. Locally-sourced materials are often the best option when sustainability is an important design factor.”

The full study can be downloaded from Goldholme Stone’s website at http://www.goldholme.com/impact.htm

Goldholme Stone has been producing the finest English limestone since 2001 and is one of the fastest growing and most well respected names in the British stone industry. The Company has locations spread across five counties producing a diverse range of colours and textures offering a viable alternative for most regional English limestones. http://www.goldholme.com/
