Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for generating an air wall across a passage opening (100), which passage opening (100) has lateral edges and a top edge, comprising: a first and second blowing device (10, 20), arranged at the lateral edges in such a way that planar air streams are blown over the height and respective parts of the width of the passage opening (100); wherein the device (1) is provided with regulating means (13; 23) for regulating the blowing speeds of the blowing devices; and wherein the first blowing device (10) and the second blowing device (20) are provided with secondary blower slits (12; 22) which are parallel to the respective primary blower slits (11; 21), which secondary blower slits (12; 22) are connected to secondary means for drying and/or heating air to be blown.

Abstract: A device for generating an air wall comprises a primary blower slit for generating a flat primary air stream in a passage opening mutually separating two spaces with different temperatures. Two adjacent air streams with the same direction and speed are added to the primary air stream. The primary air stream has a temperature between those of the secondary air streams. The absolute humidity of the air of the primary air stream is at least equal to that of the cold secondary air stream and lower than that of the warm secondary air stream. The air speed of the primary air stream amounts to at least 15 m/s. The width of the primary blower slit lies in the range of 15-40 mm. The length of the primary blower slit in the direction of the air stream lies roughly in the range of 5-40 cm, preferably 10-30 cm.
