Innovative Airflow Solutions for Thermal Efficiency and Moisture Control


SCE’s patented DryJET-THERMAL® and DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser technologies provide high-performance airflow that protects cold spaces, prevents condensation, and reduces energy costs — all without the hassle of strip curtains.

Key Features at a Glance

Thermal Barrier Performance

  • Reduces air transfer through doorways by up to 80%
  • Minimizes thermal loss between freezers and ambient areas
  • Prevents condensation and ice at door interfaces
  • Enhances freezer temperature stability
  • Reduces refrigeration load and energy consumption
  • Eliminates strip curtain maintenance costs
  • Replaces high-speed doors for thermal separation

Advanced System Intelligence

  • Integrated, self-contained power management and controls
  • Fault alarm output signal
  • Automatic power phase correction and voltage monitoring
  • Auto-restart on power restoration — no manual reset needed

Installed System Applications

Thermal Loss Prevention

DryJET-THERMAL® creates a powerful horizontal air stream that seals doorways, effectively stopping heat transfer.

Moisture Control

DryZONE® and DryZONE-PLUS® provide superior moisture protection with doors open 24/7 — no strip curtains required. When paired with DryJET-THERMAL®, the system offers a comprehensive barrier against both heat and moisture intrusion.

The images below show the DryJET-THERMAL® applied to the DryZONE-PLUS® tunnel to prevent the freezer from losing energy as well as from moisture gain.  A comprehensive solution that allows the doorway to remain open 24 hours a day with full protection against moisture gain as well as heat loss.

Visual Example: DryJET-THERMAL® + DryZONE-PLUS® working together to keep a freezer dry and energy efficient with an always-open doorway.


DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser

South African Patent No: 2023/007746

Engineered Laminar Flow for Condensation-Free Ceilings

  • Uniform laminar airflow blankets ceiling surfaces
  • Prevents condensation by maintaining a consistent dry air layer
  • Ensures wider coverage with fewer ceiling penetrations
  • Reduces HVAC unit size due to more efficient air mixing
  • Protects ceiling structure via sandwich-construction penetration design
  • Adjustable air coverage control for varied flow rates
  • Key component of DrySPACE® — SCE’s cold-climate airflow solution
  • Made from stainless steel in 3CR-12 powder-coated or 304L brushed finish

How It Works: The Coanda Effect

The DryJET® Ceiling Diffuser utilizes the Coanda Effect, where cold, dry air flows tangentially across the ceiling at high velocity. This creates a low-pressure zone, ensuring the air adheres to the surface and entrains surrounding moisture-laden air — preventing ceiling condensation in cold environments.

Result: One diffuser covers more area with less infrastructure, saving cost and enhancing reliability.

Installed Ceiling Application Example

A horizontal film of dry air flows across the ceiling, maintaining dry, fog-free, condensation-resistant surfaces even in demanding cold processing spaces.
