PIRALU Ducting |
Traditional Ducting w/ Insulations |
Results |
|
Thermal
Insulation |
A
perfect insulator(K=0.020 W/m.k) prevents thermal bridge
effect and condensation problems. Its excellent
air-tightness improves energy efficiency. |
Poor
air-tightness
|
PIRALU
ducting offers better energy-saving performance.
|
|
Fire Safety |
Non-combustible and good fire resistance and fume
opacity and toxicity is reduced to a minimum when
exposed to fire. |
Poor
fire-resistance and the thermal insulator wrapped around
the ductwork will produce smoke when exposed to high
temperature. |
PIRALU
provide higher fire safety. |
|
Weight |
Weighing
only 1.1kg/m2 ~ 1.4kg/m, equals to 1/6 the weight of GI
w/ insulation. |
GI ducting
itself is heavier. Much more so when wrapped with
insulation. |
PIRALU, with
its high strength to weight ratio, is easy to transport
and build. It is also economic in only requiring one
support every 3 meters. |
|
Corrosion
Resistance and Aging |
PIRALU is
long life material and can withstands corrosion in the
long term. |
GI sheet
corrodes and the insulation material wrapped outside the
ducting tends to break off. |
PIRALU,
thanks to its good resistance to corrosion, is
extremely versatile and requires min. maintenance costs. |
|
Hygiene |
PIRALU provides cleanliness throughout the ducting
thanks to its aluminium surfaces. |
GI ducting tends to have dust particles problems. |
PIRALU provides high air quality and is suitable for
clean rooms. |
|
Installation |
Easy to
install and no need to add insulation hence saving time
and labor. |
Installation
is highly time and labor demanding.
|
Using PIRALU
can significantly shorten the installation (about
1/3~1/5 of traditional ducting). It obviously saves
time and labor and improves working safety. |
|
Installation
Cost |
It is much
economic in its no need of wrapping insulators. This
also reduces costs by shortening the installation. |
Installation
involves wrapping insulators and finishing work that
demand much time and cost. |
PIRALU requires much lower installation cast. Plus its
easy maintenance, it effectively reduces costs. |
|
Noise |
Rigid
closed-cell foam panel ducting offers excellent sound
insulation. |
GI ducting
has resonance and noise problems. |
PIRALU guarantees excellent soundproofing. |
| Esthetic Effect |
With its
aluminium surfaces and by using invisible flanges or
male/female cross joints, PIRALU ducting gives
consistency and esthetics to building's appearance. |
Its flanges
and rough surfaces are unpleasant to the sight. |
PIRALU
ducting can be applied to visible installation and no
further interior decoration job is necessarily
required. |
