Pre-Insulated Duct as new materials

The Synergy cool-duct System defies the normal space requirements by being pre-insulated. Because it is pre-insulated, cool duct has the ability to be constructed with flush joints between sections

This allows cool duct to be installed even between members of steel roof trusses or other structural features. This type of installation allows for the maximization of space that can then be dedicated to other services, or just reduce the amount of service space altogether. The use of this product is particularly advantageous with main riser ductwork, and if used early on in the design process, could lead to an increase in usable floor space.

An independent consulting company, ATC Group, conducted research on the Synergy cool duct System and found that amongst the most frequent types of responses were those regarding the space efficiency of cool duct. To further their research, ATC Group completed an independent cost analysis of the benefits of the product in a space-saving facility. The results indicated that the use of cool duct could reduce 1-2% in overall construction cost for that particular project. This reduced cost stems from the reduced structure, internal wall, wall finishing and cladding required.

Considering the benefits of the Synergy cool duct System, this should be the HVAC ductwork product used when designing a building that maximizes on space efficiency.

 

For indoor applications such as mechanical rooms, shafts and other high traffic areas where increased durability is desired, the pro-R duct system should be considered. pro-R utilizes the proven cool duct system but goes a step further by integrating cool duct with a tough and durable metal exterior. pro-R was designed to withstand harsh weather in outdoor applications and serves as an excellent choice for indoor applications as well.
