Cold storage industry's energy efficient folding door

Rite-Hite Doors introduces the Barrier Fold---the bi-folding cooler/freezer door that combines the cold storage industry's most energy efficient sealing system with impactability, high speed and a small footprint. The Barrier Fold uses the patent-pending Thermal Air Sealing System first developed for Rite-Hite Doors' BARRIER Glider impactable high speed cooler/freezer cold storage door. The proprietary Thermal Air Seal system not only creates a tight, conforming seal at the top of the door frame, but also broadcasts continuous warm air evenly across the door and surrounding floor surfaces to prevent frost and reduce maintenance/operating costs.

The seal and the efficient high velocity blower defrost system combine to make the Barrier Fold more energy efficient than PVC fast door, roll-up door, slow/rigid door and strip curtain technologies by 42, 84, 112 and 135 percent, respectively.

The space-saving Barrier Fold comes in an internal or external freezer door mount configuration as well as a refrigerated cooler door. It accommodates openings ranging from 6 X 8-feet to 10 X 16-feet, and has one of the industry's smallest footprints with a minimal two-foot side clearance and projection off the wall.
