What happens when
the duct gets dirty?
|
The duct system is dismantled and washed in a washing machine. Please refer to our standard maintenance instructions.
|
The washing frequency is reduced by using properly engineered pre-filters upstream of the duct.
If in doubt, please consult one of our engineers for advice.
|
|
Will the colours fade?
|
No. The colours will not fade during ordinary use in normal applications.
|
A fabric dispersion system should not be exposed to direct sunlight or unusual chemical vapours.
If in doubt, please consult one of our engineers for advice.
|
|
Can the duct catch fire?
|
No. The fabrics used in the various fabric dispersion systems are classified as flame retardant or normally combustible.
|
Further details on fire classifications are found in our technical documentation.
|
|
Does a fabric duct generate noise?
|
Fabric is neutral in terms of noise. This means that the fabric itself does not generate or convey noise.
|
Always place a proper silencer between the fan and the duct to reduce the risk of mechanical noise generated by the system or the sound of rushing air.
|
|
What about draughts?
|
Well engineered fabric ducts do not create draughts in offices, lounges or workspaces.
|
Every dimensioning should always be verified before production by a FabricAir® engineer.
|
|
What do the duct fabrics weigh?
|
At FabricAir®, we do not use unnecessarily heavy fabrics. All our standard fabrics weigh less than 300 g/m².
|
Choose lightweight fabrics wherever possible. Maintenance costs are based on weight: as a result, heavy ducts mean higher service costs.
|
|
How easy is it to install this type of duct?
|
Installation is quick and easy. The system can also be installed by unskilled labour.
|
This saves up to 75% on labour, compared to sheet metal ducts.
|
|
How long will it last?
|
Under ordinary operation and maintenance, FabricAir® Dispersion Systems can last 15 years or more. Some of our systems are still in operation after 30 years.
|
Proper maintenance and care extends the service life of the fabric system. FabricAir® recommends that you enter into a service agreement wherever possible.
|
|
What about quality?
|
FabricAir® is an UL-registered firm and is certified pursuant to ISO 9001:2000. FabricAir® uses Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to audit our quality system.
|
If in doubt, please request our current Certificate of Compliance.
