Durkee fabric air dispersion system discharge air through fabric permeation and calculated orifices to create tri-dimensional air even dispersion effect with even air and comfortable air distribution, precise and high efficiency air throw.
With the in-depth study of the air supply principle of the fabric air duct system, the design method of the fabric air duct becomes maturer and maturer, including the study and calculation of the on-way resistance inside the fabric air duct.
There are also pressure losses due to the frictional resistance and local resistance along the length direction of the fabric air duct system. Because the pressure loss is proportional to the wind speed, when the wind speed along the length direction becomes smaller and smaller, the resistance loss also decreases continuously. At the same time, there are also local resistance losses at the standard parts of the air duct and at the air outlets.
The main part is the straight duct in the fabric air duct system, and there are a few tee-junctions, elbows, and reducings in the system. Generally, the on-way resistance loss is the main resistance loss form. The frictional on-way resistance of the airflow in the duct with the unchanged air cross-section shape is calculated as follows:
The frictional resistance coefficient; the average velocity of the air in the duct, m/s; the air density, kg/m3; the duct length, m; the diameter (inside diameter) of the round air duct, m. The frictional resistance coefficient is a variable value, which is related to the flow condition of air in the air duct and the roughness of the duct wall. The frictional resistance coefficient obtained is no more than 0.024 (about 0.019 for the iron air duct) according to the comprehensive study on the fiber material and the fabric air duct system. The average wind speed in the ac air duct is 1/2 of the speed at the inlet of the air duct because there are air supply holes in the extension direction of the fabric air duct. It can be seen that the on-way resistance loss of fiber air ducts is much smaller than that of traditional iron air ducts.
To reduce the local resistance loss of the fabric non metallic air duct system, we usually carry out certain optimization designs:
1. Multiple factors should be taken into consideration when choosing the duct diameter, and try to reduce the wind speed in the duct as much as possible.
2. Optimize the design of special-shaped parts to avoid too rapid a change of flow direction and too fast a change of section.
It can be seen that the on-way resistance loss of the fabric air duct system, especially the straight duct system, is very small and generally, it will not exceed the static pressure regain value, so the resistance loss can be basically ignored in rough calculation!

An insulation layer needs to be wrapped outside the galvanized iron duct on site, and the insulation layer often requires replacement when carrying out maintenance, so in addition to the height of the duct itself, a certain space for installation and maintenance should be reserved.
The fabric air duct itself has the thermal insulation effect, so it can be installed close to the roof without reserving the space for installation. The measured results show that the use of fabric air duct can save about 5 -10cm in height compared with the use of galvanized iron air duct.
It is easy for galvanized iron sheet to rust in a humid environment, and the glass fiber, another kind of insulation material commonly used in galvanized iron air duct, will become brittle after moisture absorption, therefore, the service life of galvanized iron duct is about 5 to 10 years. While the textile air duct has a service life of up to 20 years. From this point of view, the service life of fabric air duct is much longer than that of galvanized iron air duct.
(6) The noise elimination performance of galvanized iron duct
Galvanized iron air duct is a kind of rigid duct without noise elimination effect, and it will even send the noise produced by the equipment to the workplace, so other noise elimination accessories such as sound proof housings and hend mufflers are needed. In addition, when suddenly encountering cold or hot wind, the galvanized iron air duct will produce stress deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction, so as to bring the annoying croaking. On the contrary, the fabric air duct is soft in texture and has good noise elimination performance. It is a very good tubular muffler, so there is no need to conduct noise elimination treatment, which can reduce a lot of troubles.
(7) Hygiene and health of galvanized iron duct
Galvanized iron air duct is easy to rust and produce the cold bridge phenomenon, so the dew formation is prone to occur. Therefore, bacteria such as legionella are easy to breed in galvanized iron air duct, resulting in secondary pollution to the air supply. In addition, the glass fiber, an insulation material commonly used in galvanized iron air duct will do harm to human health to some extent. Instead, the fabric air duct is not easy to produce condensation water, which can avoid the generation and spread of bacteria. Therefore, from the perspective of hygiene and health, fabric air duct is far better than galvanized iron air duct.
As is analyzed above, in practical application conditions, the performance and use of fabric air duct are much better than those of galvanized iron air duct in all aspects. Therefore, the combination of fabric air ducts can break through the limitations and inconvenience of traditional air ducts in the application of central air-conditioning air duct, which is worth being applied and promoted in various industries and fields.

The stadium was designated as the Asia Games’basketball competition stadium, the hardware and software facilities of the stadium run thorough transformation to comply with the high-grade requirements of stadium standard set by GAGOC. The designed HVAC ductwork system was traditional GI ducts, but the solution encountered some difficulties.
The stadium inner space is 22m and is an all-steel construction structure. If it used traditional air conditioning duct, hundreds of tons crossed metal duct not only affect overall aesthetics but also add load-carrying to the roof, and take the ball nozzle outlets into account, it will greatly increase the total construction cost. The project leader finally decided to select Durkduct® fabric duct to replace traditional GI ductwork.
Durkee® Technic Center referred to the actual situation and designed 3 main fabric air ducts (16m in length) which perpendicular to the ground and each main duct connects to 2 branch ducts(1067 mm in diameter), the 6 branch ducts form a closed-type hexagon. The Durkee® fabric ducts with multi-line leaser cutting orifices separately supply air to the spectator stand, media stand, and basketball court, the ducts covered a larger area with lower airflow velocity, no noise and even & comfortable airflow, also the aesthetic appearance of ducts is in harmony with the construction structure as well as save total construction cost (lightweight fabric duct will significantly decrease load-bearing to roof).
Meanwhile, the suspension system of Durkee® air dispersion system is a cable quick suspension system, it is convenience to installation as well as maintenance processes, and these are directly lower HVAC ductwork system cost. Besides, selected grey fabric ducts to well match the surrounding decoration and highlight the aesthetic factor of our fabric duct sox systems.
Durkee® fabric air dispersion system solution met all requirements of the stadium ventilation and the airflow effect is good, our system passes the acceptance once after installation.
