Indoor pools are challenging environments for design engineers, especially when considering indoor air quality and the longevity of exposed metal components. A natatorium\u2019s corrosion-potential environment<\/a> of high humidity, gaseous pool chemicals, and condensation is a recipe for disaster for metal heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ductwork. The toxic mix slowly disintegrates metal air distribution systems in natatoriums.<\/p>\n

The condensation that forms on metal ducts and other metallic materials expedites the disintegration.<\/p>\n

Unlike metal, the fabric doesn’t allow condensation to form because of the properties inherent in its technology. Fabric air duct can be specified as permeable, which allows air to pass through the fabric weave. This airflow through the entire duct surface prevents condensation on the material. The fabric air duct also does not require special coatings to protect against corrosion or rust. The polyester fabric used in natatoriums should be UL-2518 classified, which among other qualities ensures that the fabric does not propagate biological growth. Fabric air ducts also can be specified with additional antimicrobial treatment for extra protection against mold and other microbial growths.<\/p>\n

Fabric can outperform metal diffusers in air dispersion performance because the fabric air duct\u2019s construction is unique in that it incorporates a variety of factory-designed, integrated vents or nozzles that span the duct length in a linear fashion and are specified at no extra charge. The linear design allows for uniform dispersion of the mechanical system\u2019s dry, conditioned air across windows, ceilings, and walls to prevent condensation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
