Owning an air dome often means dealing with very high energy consumption. PRESS<\/a> is the system we specifically developed to optimize the management of these structures, drastically reducing operating costs and emissions without compromising functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How PRESS works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An air dome consists of a PVC membrane supported by internal air pressure. This pressure is generated by the ventilation unit (fan + motor) that injects air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air losses must be compensated for due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Drafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Door opening and closing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Air recirculation needed to improve heating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udc49 The principle behind PRESS is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. We reduce air leakage by improving structural insulation and optimizing recirculation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Less air needs to be injected to maintain the same internal pressure;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. The motor can run more slowly;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Electricity consumption is greatly reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Based on this principle, we built an intelligent control system with four key components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Inverter<\/strong> \u2013 adjusts motor speed according to real needs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. PLC<\/strong> \u2013 a small industrial computer managing the control algorithms;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Sensors<\/strong> \u2013 to monitor atmospheric conditions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Structural insulation<\/strong> \u2013 to minimize waste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Note:<\/strong> Each system is custom-built according to the ventilation module and the components already present in the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Intelligent pressure and heat management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • When there is wind or snow, sensors measure them and adjusts the pressure to ensure stability and safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • For heating, PRESS modulates the ventilation of the heating module to optimize heat exchange (according to the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines):\n
            \n
          • Too much ventilation \u2192 cold air enters the structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Too little ventilation \u2192 the boiler overheats and heat is lost through the flue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            In every situation, PRESS finds the right balance, improving comfort while reducing waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            The advantages of PRESS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Installing PRESS provides tangible, immediate benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • \u26a1 Electricity savings 50\u201390%<\/strong>* \u2192 lower costs and reduced CO\u2082 emissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • \ud83d\udd25 Heating savings up to 15%<\/strong>*<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • \ud83d\udcb0 Payback in less than one sports season<\/strong>*<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • \ud83d\udd27 Reduced wear on bearings, motor, and fan<\/strong> (thanks to lower speeds)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • \ud83d\udd07 Less noise<\/strong>, for a more comfortable environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Greater safety<\/strong>: pressure is automatically modulated by sensors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              *<\/em>Average data collected from real installations without pre-existing inverters; results may vary depending on the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \"Advantages<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              Installation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              PRESS is designed for quick installation and easy management:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Takes about half a day per structure, whether the air dome is assembled or not;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • During installation we carry out: speed calibration, structural insulation, ventilation unit check-up, and customer training;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • In subsequent seasons, only insulation and calibration are needed (DIY or with our support).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                PRESS is much more than a simple device: it is an integrated solution that transforms the management of air domes, ensuring savings, safety, and sustainability. An investment that pays off in just a few months and significantly reduces the environmental impact of sports facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
