Study on Tunnel Air Curtain Insulation System for Cold Areas by Yan Gao, Zhengguo Zhu, Yunfei Ding, Jiying Geng, Xu Bao, Jun Zhou

“…The results show that air curtain technology can effectively solve the problem of tunnel freezing damage in cold areas; multiple air curtains in series connection provide better barrier efficiency. From the measured data and calculation results of Lafashan tunnel, it can be seen that an air curtain is installed at the tunnel portal with jet speed of 22.7 m/s and temperature of 35.24°C, which can meet the tunnel without freezing damage when the external temperature is −10°C, and the external wind speed is 2 m/s, providing a new method for tunnel insulation technology in cold area.…”
