Our roots

Every generation
brings something new.

What is passed on is more than technical knowledge: a willingness to look closely, improve proven solutions and explore new approaches.

1905 · THE BEGINNING

Craftsmanship becomes air handling.

Gustav Rentschler establishes a sheet-metal workshop and equipment manufacturing business. Over generations, these craft roots develop into work with fans, air distribution and air handling systems.

THE REVEN YEARS

Clean the air.
Develop ideas further.

Peter Rentschler shapes the development of kitchen ventilation and industrial air cleaning. Oil mist separation, X-CYCLONE separation technology and induction hoods form part of this history of innovation.

RENTSCHLER AIR TODAY

Focused on medical spaces.

Today, Rentschler Air focuses on air handling for medical practices, outpatient surgical centres and hospitals. In-house development, manufacturing and software connect this experience with the requirements of modern operating rooms.

Development & manufacturing

Rentschler Air
drives innovation.

In-house development and manufacturing allow us to consider design, materials and service access together. The Wall combines these tasks in a room-integrated solution.

Experience in air handling and system engineering informs our planning for medical practices, outpatient surgical centres, day clinics and hospitals.

Everything works together

From the order
to ongoing operation.

We support your system throughout its service life.

01 · Detailed design

After the order, the detail begins.

Once the order is placed, we develop the detailed design. Units, air routes, connections and service areas are incorporated into the floor plan and coordinated with the relevant trades.

Service & maintenance

Good air handling
needs ongoing support.

We remain your contact for the system after commissioning. We plan maintenance, filter changes and periodic measurements to suit room classification, system concept and operation.

Readings, test scope and completed work are documented, keeping a clear record of what was checked and when the next steps are due.

Particles & recovery time

Particle counts and recovery time measurements assess different properties of room air. For Class Ib operating and preparation rooms, the DGKH guideline (2023, Section 4.2.2) specifies a recovery time measurement every 24 months as part of periodic hygienic testing under DIN 1946-4:2018.

Airflow & turbulence intensity

For Class Ia rooms, we offer turbulence intensity measurements in accordance with the agreed testing scope. These examine airflow fluctuations in the protected zone. Periodic testing is coordinated with the operator and hygiene specialists.

Filters & system functions

Filter changes, system function checks and required testing are coordinated with the system’s condition and test plan. Changes in operation also inform service planning.

Commissioning, acceptance and periodic testing each have their own testing scope. They are based on the applicable requirements and the agreed test plan.
