AQC Blue Duct The
Blue Duct
is a complete engineered underground air duct system made from a
durable eco friendly High Density Polyethylene. Our system is
air and water tight, insulated to an R-10 and fast to install –
saving ½ the time! It replaces problematic pvc coated spiral
and fiberglass duct. It bears U.L. label-181 sec. 11 no mold
growth. It’s non-toxic, corrosive resistant and lasts for
decades.
Why take
risks? Let us
demonstrate to you how your next design should go
underground with
“THE BLUE
DUCT” … and another plus-
due to low VOC, and recyclable materials, Blue Duct may help to
contribute for LEED points!!
Watch the demonstration video
below to see how quick and easy blue duct can be installed in
your next project!
Revit Is Here
Revit is a building information modeling software developed by
Autodesk specifically for mechanical, electrical and plumbing
designers. It is the next generation of drafting that allows
for a 3-dimensional view of your project providing for ease of
coordination between the architect, MEP engineers and
contractors.
We are pleased to announce that
Cook, Titus and Ruskin have jumped on board and currently offer
complete and functional Revit models of their products online.
Revit
drawings are now available for all Cook ventilation products
ranging from small ceiling mounted fans to the Vari-Plume lab
exhaust fan! Each family of drawings includes connector
elements for ductwork, electrical controls and mounting. User
defined attributes are included for airflow, static pressure,
RPM, horsepower, voltage, phase, etc.
Revit drawings are now
available for all VAV Terminal units and Fan Powered Boxes,
including the Fantom – ultra quite fan powered box and the new
line of Underfloor terminals. Options for hot water, electric
heat, left/right hand unit configurations and various voltages
are all available.
Revit drawings are now
available for almost all Ruskin products! Airflow measuring
stations, control dampers, ERV’s, fire and smoke dampers,
industrial dampers, louvers, even architectural screens and sun
shades!

TROX USA Chilled Beams TROX understands the art of competently handling air like
no other company in the world. In close collaboration with
demanding clients from around the globe, TROX has successfully
manufactured leading technologies and marketed systems and
components for ventilation and indoor climate
control. TROX is consistently expanding upon this position by
means of intensive research and
development activities.
The primary air volume flow required for fresh air supply enters
the upper plenum box through a
connecting collar and is then discharged into the mixing zone
via nozzles which are fitted into a diaphragm plate.
The induced air is drawn from the room through a water coil. In
the mixing section of the DID600B the induced air is mixed with
the primary air and the total discharged into the room via
slots.
The DID600B can be used for cooling and/or heating. An
additional collar for extract of exhaust air can be fitted
adjacent to the primary air duct (supply and extract air
construction).
Chilled beams afford the designer an opportunity to replace
large supply and return air ductwork with small chilled
water pipes. This results in significant savings in terms of
plenum space and increases usable floor space.
Reduced supply air flow rates result in lower fan energy
consumption.
Operational efficiencies of pumps are intrinsically higher
than fans, leading to lower cooling and heating energy
transport costs.
The
higher chilled water temperatures used by chilled beams
allow chiller efficiencies to be increased by as much as
35%.
Chilled beams do not incorporate any moving parts (fans,
motors, damper actuators, etc.) or complicated control
devices. Most chilled beams do not require filters (and thus
regular filter changes) or condensate trays.
