US Patent 12071812 Rolling door guide area heating method and system

A method for heating a door guide area includes: channeling a flow of heated air in a longitudinal first direction in a first conduit; channeling the flow of heated air in a longitudinal second direction different than the first direction in a second conduit; providing heated air to the second and first conduits by routing the heated air directly from a heater laterally across the first conduit to the second conduit; transferring heat from the flow of heated air in the second conduit to a heated space outside of the first and second conduits; and configuring a side portion of a roll-up door to be in the heated space when the roll-up door is in a closed position.
