Pneumatically pre-tensioned pillow constructions made of foil and tissue membranes have shown, for more than 25 years now, a steadily increased use in the global construction industry.

Due to their architectural design options and the structural properties such as low weight and high light transmission, their use for the planning and execution of current (inter)national projects of airports, swimming pools, train stations, stadiums and other buildings is omnipresent. In order to achieve the required static properties pillow designs made of foil (ETFE) and tissue membranes (PVC, Tenara, etc.) need a permanent supply of mechanically generated air support.

In addition to changes in ambient air pressure and air pressure changes inside the cushion due to warming up, one also needs to consider the varying local wind or snow loads that act onto the cushion construction. They require an adjustment of the supporting air to the preset values. To ensure the situational, necessary cushion pressure at all times, the air input is continuously adjusted by the air supply systems, taking into account the air pressure values inside and outside the pillows as well as the evaluation of sensors for temperature, snow and partly alsowind.

Generally drying the ambient air, which is drawn in by the air machine, is necessary to prevent condensation in the pillows. Any condensate can lead to visual defects and algae growth in the pillows and significantly reduces the longevity of possible shading imprints inside the pillow.

We provide expert assistance in the planning of the whole system.
