German term or phrase: Luftwalze
A property development company talking about their aim to reduce emissions and the technological solutions they use in their buildings to do this:

"Diese haben wir schon bei zahlreichen Projekten bereits umgesetzt:
Geothermie, Luftwärmepumpen oder **Luftwalzen** auf Hochhäusern."

Nothing else on this I'm afraid, it's a bit of a high-speed ride through their portfolio.
None of the example translations I found online come up with much when I search for them - air roll, air cylinder etc. all seem to mean something else.

Energy experts I would be grateful for a pointer. Thanks!

Explanation:
Der Torluftschleier (auch Luftschleier, Türluftschleier, Torluftschleieranlage, Luftschleieranlage, Lufttür, Luftvorhang, Luftwand, Luftschottanlage) bezeichnet eine Anlage, die an häufig oder ständig geöffneten Türen und Toren mittels kräftiger Gebläse unterschiedlich konditionierte Luftmassen durch eine Barriere aus strömender Luft voneinander trennt und so deren Austausch verhindert. Diese Barriere besteht aus einer gerichteten Luftströmung, die in Art einer Luftwalze zwischen Ausblasöffnung und Ansaugöffnung des Gerätes zirkuliert.

An air door or air curtain is a device used to prevent air or contaminants from moving from one open space to another. The most common use is a downward-facing blower fan mounted over an entrance to a building, or an opening between two spaces conditioned at different temperatures.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines an air door as follows: "In its simplest application, an air curtain is a continuous broad stream of air circulated across a doorway of a conditioned space. It reduces penetration of insects and unconditioned air into a conditioned space by forcing an air stream over the entire entrance. The air stream layer moves with a velocity and angle such that any air that tries to penetrate the curtain is entrained. Air curtain effectiveness in preventing infiltration through an entrance generally ranges from 60 to 80%".[1]
The Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) defines an air curtain as: "A directionally-controlled airstream, moving across the entire height and width of an opening, which reduces the infiltration or transfer of air from one side of the opening to the other and/or inhibits flying insects, dust or debris from passing through".
In North America, the more commonly used term for an air door is "air curtain".

The respective temperature comparison shows clearly that the air barrel of the lamella system is pushed from outside to inside by the air current in the lower section (top illustration).

In this study, we analyzed the dust diffusion under several parameters, including the distance between the forced air opening and the cutting face (LY), the height of the forced air cylinder above the floor (LH), and the distance between the center of the forced air cylinder and the nearest coal wall (LJ).

Thermal situation
In the door region with warm air curtain systems
With warm air curtain systems, in the door region, a quantity of heated air is discharged at a certain angle against the cold air trying to penetrate from the outside. There are two different types of shielding from cold air:
For the standard air roll (SLW), the air intake is within the room and the air discharge is close to the door. The air roll shields the door opening and mixes with any cold air entering the door region. The air roll rotates towards the inside of the room and then back towards the intake grille.

check out the ref which says "air roll" but if you search for "Walze" within the ref it says "roller" so....

disagree  Gordon Matthews: Ideas are helpful, but this is not a good one. An air roller is a scooter (roller) with air-filled tyres.

ventilation


Explanation:
I think this is a simple solution. It may not actually refer to a specific roller or device.

also air vents or ventilator. Air ventilator may be a little redundant.

agree  Gordon Matthews: "ventilation" (or "ventilator") is not only simple, but also an accurate translation.
2 hrs
  -> I like ventilator.

disagree  Tim Bayton: "Walze" is a definite component, which may form part of a ventilation system. In this case it is more likely that it is part of a heat-recovery system.
