air curtain

Blowing entrance shield

An air curtain is a device that blows a continuous stream of air across a doorway or opening, creating an invisible barrier.

It keeps climate-controlled air inside while blocking dust, insects, and outside temperatures from entering: The air curtain at the store entrance kept the cold air from escaping.

Common in commercial buildings, warehouses, and restaurants.
