JS Air Curtains
JS Air Curtains is launching a new air curtain, the Fly, specially designed for insect control. It is a hygienic alternative to plastic strip or chain link curtains, as it removes any potential for COVID-19 cross surface contamination. By creating a high-velocity
air barrier across a doorway, flying insects are prevented from entering food preparation areas in butcher shops, supermarkets, hospitals and nursing homes, as well as food production premises. This allows doors to remain open, further reducing the risk of surface contamination through staff or customers needing to touch doors or handles.
Suitable for installation directly above a doorway, it is offered in five lengths from one to three metres and in four different power outputs to protect doorways up to four metres high. Fly air curtains should always by fitted to completely cover the entire entrance with a barrier of air, thus preventing any gaps that might allow insects to enter. Adjustable aluminium aerofoil shaped air blades can direct the airstream to create a tight seal across an entrance.
Made in galvanized steel plate it comes in white RAL9016 as standard with other colours or stainless steel options are available on request.
Low noise and energy efficient double-inlet centrifugal fans provide five-speed operation and are driven by an external rotor motor with a built-in thermal protection contact. The large perforated inlet grille is easy to clean and maintain. The air curtain comes with a handheld auto controller, designed for easy and quick plug and play connection, with up to 10 metres of RJ45 cable. A magnetic door contact is also included to activate the unit whenever the door is opened and deactivate when closed. An optional advanced ‘clever controller’, with BMS connectivity using Modbus RTU, is also available.
As well as insects, the Fly air curtain can also discourage rodents from entering an entrance. Research has shown that rats, mice and other furry intruders do not like the sensation an air curtain creates on their fur and will avoid passing under a fast moving barrier of air. Dust, pollen and airborne pollutants are also minimised, to help maintain a safe and healthy indoor environment.

Daikin In the spirit of the Paris Agreement, Daikin aims to be CO2 neutral by 2050.
Innovative product design is a key step to achieving this and the new VRV 5 S-series is the latest evolution in the company’s portfolio development, which it is striving to fully convert to lower GWP refrigerants. This all-round performer covers all mini VRV applications and is our most sustainable solution yet. The use of R32 refrigerant allows the VRV 5 series to offer superior environmental performance throughout the lifetime of the product, as it reduces GWP by 71% compared to R410A refrigerant and lowers the refrigerant charge by 10%. What’s more, the VRV 5 series offers market- leading real life seasonal efficiency. It is fully optimised for installation in rooms as small as 10m2
, with
factory-mounted refrigerant response measures meaning no additional leak detection is required. Meanwhile, installation and handling are simplified with a wider access area so components can be reached easily within the low-profile single fan casing. In use, it provides versatility with five sound pressure levels down to 39 db(A) and automatic ESP setting up to 45 Pa allowing for ductwork, while the intuitive online and voice controls, along with a new 10 class indoor unit for small rooms, offer maximum user comfort. The VRV 5 series will be available from autumn.

Embraco will present at the Chillventa eSpecial, from October 13 to 15, its new solutions for food retail and food service applications, including compressors and condensing units (CDU).
Included will be a new range of highly-efficient unhoused CDUs powered by scroll compressors, offering higher cooling capacity and extending the existing range from 2.5 Kw to 5Kw, ready to comply with new European energy efficiency regulations. Embraco´s condensing units can be fully equipped with a liquid line, filter dryer, liquid receiver and valves, eliminating the need for the installer or manufacturer to customize it later. Another launch is the NEX compressors platform, the fourth generation
after the NE, NEK and NEU families. One of the main gains of the NEX in comparison with the previous platform is the increase in the platform maximum displacement from 18.7cc to 21cc, delivering a maximum cooling capacity of 1620W in MBP condition. It also enables the addition of 10% in energy efficiency in LBP condition, combined with lower noise. With those characteristics it can replace the NT platform in some applications, being 25 millimeters shorter. In parallel to the NEX, Embraco is also launching two new models of the NJX and four of the NTX, the other two platforms of the X Generation. All platforms work on natural refrigerant R290 (propane), thus being fully compliant with Europe’s F-gas regulations.
