Windscreens are used in many applications

Windscreens are a kind of functional facilities widely used in many fields, aiming at effectively blocking, guiding or weakening the airflow, so as to achieve the goals of reducing the wind speed, changing the wind direction, preventing and controlling the wind and sand, reducing the wind erosion as well as improving the stability of the local environment.

Industrial: In the vicinity of industrial plants, especially those in open areas and subject to strong winds all year round, the installation of windscreens can significantly weaken the wind speed into the interior of the plant. This is very significant for those who have strict requirements on the wind speed in the production environment of the fine processing industry, such as electronic components manufacturing, precision instrument assembly. Strong winds may cause deviations in the precision of production equipment, or interfere with the stability of the production process, and windbreaks can effectively avoid such problems, to protect the reliability of product quality and production activities in an efficient and orderly manner.

Transportation facilities: in bridges, elevated roads and other transportation infrastructure, windbreaks play an indispensable role. When the vehicle encountered strong side winds in the high-speed driving process, it is very easy to drive the stability of the situation, and in serious cases may even cause traffic accidents. The windshield installed on the bridge can effectively block and channelize the side wind, reduce the impact of the vehicle by the side wind, thus greatly improving the safety and comfort of the vehicle driving, for the driver’s and passenger’s life and property safety escort.

Energy industry: In the wind farm, the windshield also has a unique application value. Through the reasonable setup of windbreaks, the wind flow field in the local area can be optimized and adjusted, so that the airflow into the wind turbine is more stable and uniform, which in turn improves the efficiency and stability of wind power generation, realizes the efficient transformation and utilization of energy, and promotes the sustainable development of the clean energy industry.

Agricultural production: In the vast perimeter of the farmland, windbreaks can effectively reduce the wind and sand damage to crops. The erosion of wind and sand will not only destroy the growing environment of crops, leading to a decline in soil fertility, but also may directly damage the seedlings and plants of crops, affecting the yield and quality of crops. Windbreaks as a farmland “protection guard”, can create a relatively stable growth microclimate for crops, reduce the harm of wind and sand, to help agricultural production and sustainable development of the harvest.

Architectural field: in the design of high-rise buildings, large commercial complexes and other buildings, windbreaks are often included in the scope of consideration. It can improve the wind environment around the building, reduce the erosion of strong wind on the appearance of the building and the negative impact on pedestrians, enhance the overall safety of the building and the use of comfort. For example, in some coastal areas of high-rise residential, installed in the balcony or porch at the windbreak, can prevent the strong wind directly into the interior, while avoiding the wind and rain on the building façade of the long-term scouring caused by damage.

Windbreaks are made of a variety of materials, common metal materials, such as galvanized steel, aluminum alloy plate, etc., this material has high strength, good durability, suitable for high structural strength requirements of the industrial and transportation sectors; and plastic materials, such as polycarbonate plate, polyethylene plate, etc., which has the advantages of light weight, low cost, plasticity and strong, more widely used in agriculture and some small-scale construction facilities.

In addition, composite materials are also gradually emerging, it synthesizes the advantages of a variety of materials, with good wind resistance, corrosion resistance and thermal insulation performance, in some of the performance requirements of the more comprehensive project has been applied. Its structural forms include flat plate, louvered, honeycomb, etc. Each structural form has its own unique windproof principle and applicable scenes.

Plate-type windshield simple structure, can provide more direct wind effect, suitable for wind direction is relatively single, wind requirements are relatively less complex scenes; louvered windshield can be adjusted according to the need for ventilation angle, in the need to take into account the ventilation and wind performance, such as in some warehouses or ventilation requirements are not high in the application of the plant. Honeycomb windbreaks have good stability and sound-absorbing and noise-reducing properties, and are more suitable for environments that require both wind protection and noise control, such as buildings close to traffic arteries or factory equipment rooms.
