HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems and industrial ventilation. Ducting refers to a system of ducts, which are channels or passages used to convey air, gases, or other substances.
Here are some key points about ducting:
Purpose: Ducting is used to transport air from one location to another within a building or a system. This can include delivering conditioned air to various rooms in a building or removing stale air.
Components: Ducting systems typically include various components such as ducts (pipes or tubes), dampers, air handling units, and diffusers.
Materials: Ducts can be made from a variety of materials, including galvanized steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and flexible plastic. The choice of material depends on factors such as the application, the type of air being conveyed, and cost considerations.
Types of Ducts:
Rectangular Ducts: Commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
Round Ducts: Efficient for transporting large volumes of air and often used in HVAC systems.
Flexible Ducts: Made of a flexible plastic, these are useful in situations where rigid ducts may be challenging to install.
Insulation: In HVAC systems, ducts are often insulated to prevent heat loss or gain during the transport of conditioned air.
