DUCTSOX MENA

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

DuctSox fabric duct is used to distribute and disperse air in both Open and semi-open Ceiling Architecture. Our products are custom designed and manufactured per project and the designs can range from very simple ones to the most complex ones, incorporating fittings like radius elbows, transitions and many more to suit every requirement of application and architecture design. The sections of the duct are zippered together to form the required length. This assembly system also makes it easier to remove and move the system when needed, making DuctSox a perfect choice for both temporary and permanent installations. The duct diameter ranges from 8’’ to 85’’. DuctSox fabric duct is the perfect alternative for galvanized and pre-insulated duct serving a wide spectrum of applications such as industrial areas, retail, commercial, educational, warehouse, laboratory as well as food processing environments. Ductsox System Key Elements: •SHAPE/SUSPENSION/FABRIC RETENTION •LAYOUT/FITTINGS •AIR DISPERSION •FABRIC •OPTIONS To ensure proper system design, DuctSox Sales Engineers and Product Technical Supports teams are available for assistance.

DuctSox continues to be the leader and innovator in the fabric ductwork/diffuser industry. The Silencer is a Fabric Sound Attenuator that was developed to address one factor for fabric duct—noise from the air handling unit. Textile air dispersion systems can be designed to be quiet, but noise entering the system from air handling units, volume control dampers, or fan-powered boxes can create an uncomfortably noisy environment. DuctSox’s latest innovation is the first of its kind silencer made out of fabric! The concept utilizes several other innovations, such as our patented SkeleCore Technology for structure. The Silencer can be used in place of a metal silencer or acoustically-lined ducting to absorb or prevent incoming noise from reaching the occupied space. Many applications leave little, or no, mechanical space to place sound attenuators. The Silencer is installed in the occupied space, offering an aesthetically pleasing appearance that can be customized to match your DuctSox System’s fabric type and color. Depending on noise absorption required, the Silencer is available with or without an internal bullet and available in diameters 12” to 30”.

Airflow control is critical in HVAC air dispersion. The zip-in Adjustable Flow Device (AFD) offers variable resistance to balance static regain, balance airflow to branches, reduce turbulence, and reduce abrupt start-ups. The patented AFD is a polyester mesh cone with a factory set or field adjustable hemmed drawstring aperture for air balancing DuctSox Fabric Ductwork Systems. AFD devices come standard with Sedona-Xm and TufTex Systems. It is also an option with other fabrics.Airflow control is critical in HVAC air dispersion.

SkeleCore Pull-Tight is a Suspension/Fabric Retention System that utilizes a combination of Internal Hoops and Tensioning Baskets to help maintain fabric shape, with or without air in the system. Different from FTS, Pull-Tight is suspended from either a Tension Cable or Track Suspension System and is tensioned "externally" utilizing a Tension Cable (or Track) Lock.  Pull-Tight improves start-up performance and aesthetics when compared to multiple row, horizontal suspension systems.

Fittings are not typically tensioned. For tensioned fittings, may be a better fit for your project.•All the benefits of fabric ducting including uniform air dispersion, versatile airflow designs, lightweight, reduced installation times, and fabrics that are non-condensing, non-corrosive, and washable.•Up to a 15 year warranty.

UnderFloorSox (UFSox) is a fabric air dispersion system within the Underfloor Air Distribution plenum. The uniform temperature within the plenum reduces cases with flow diffusers exposed to varying temperatures, which improves the comfort. Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) systems are becoming increasingly popular in commercial buildings, high tech offices and business spaces. Unlike conventional overhead air diffuser systems, UFAD systems use the area beneath the raised access floor as a plenum to provide air into the occupier space through special floor-mounted air diffusers. UnderFloorSox (UFSox) is a fabric air dispersion system within the Underfloor Air Distribution plenum.

For many applications, Traditional Round or D-Shape DuctSox may not be the best fit. The depth of the Round DuctSox may hang too low into the space, while D-Shape will save on space, but may not carry the volume of air needed. To solve that, DuctSox now designs and manufactures OvalSox, fabric duct work in an oval shape. The patent pending design also produces minimal sag when the AHU is off.For many applications, Traditional Round or D-Shape DuctSox may not be the best fit.

The patent pending design also produces minimal sag when the AHU is off. Typical Applications OvalSox are ideal for applications with low head room or when obstructions, such as machinery or equipment that cannot be moved, are in the path of the duct work. As illustrated below, OvalSox can save from 13” up to 27” (330mm up to 686mm) in head room space compared to Traditional Round DuctSox, while still delivering the required airflow volume for the application.

SkeleCore FTS (Fabric Tensioning System) stands alone as the only textile ducting/diffuser system that provides cylindrical tensioning to keep the fabric round and taut at all times. SkeleCore FTS maintains the same appearance with or without any air pressure in the duct. SkeleCore FTS is ideal when higher aesthetic value is desired, when cycling is frequent, or when systems are designed with variable air volume. SkeleCore FTS eliminates disruptive tendencies such as motion and noise upon AHU start-up, especially in hard start applications. SkeleCore FTS features a unique metal-to-metal Direct Hang Cable method which is the SAFEST suspension in textile ducting. Fabric longevity is extended by minimizing system movement at fabric seams, attachment points, and fittings.

Specifically designed for air dispersion in critical environments are LabSox and KitchenSox by DuctSox. Specifically designed for air dispersion in critical environments are LabSox and KitchenSox by DuctSox. LabSox are fabric air dispersion devices for laboratory environments that combine airflow design knowledge with our highest fabric technology and precisely shaped panels. Airflow in laboratories is a critical design factor as turbulent, non-uniform air can cause failure or impact the final research results. Applications such as wet chemistry labs, lasers, optical devices, paint facilities, wet chemistry labs and many more, all require a sensitive airflow supply.LabSox provide uniform, low velocity air discharge, improving hood capture and minimizing disruption for sensitive laboratory research. LabSox can be used in both new laboratories as well as existing facilities.Features, Advantages, and Benefits:•Low discharge velocity as air passes through permeable fabric.•Reduced noise: fabric air dispersion products offer noise levels at least 10NC more quite than traditional metal duct work.•RxFabric: specifically designed for critical environments, highly permeable, antimicrobial, filament thread fabric made from up to 50% post-recycled content.•Flexibility of choice: apart from traditional cylindrical and surface mount configurations, LabSox also offers the innovative D-fuser options for easy installation and maintenance.•Filtration options include back pan as well as the unique D-Fuser Filter face.KitchenSox offer better air dispersion alternatives for food processing environments. A perfect solution for commercial kitchens, KitchenSox by DuctSox positively affects hood performance, cleanliness, food safety, and employee comfort. Air is dispersed through a fabric faced D-Fuser reducing drafts and condensation. Because of the improved air distribution near a kitchen exhaust hood and a reduced exhaust airflow, KitchenSox helps to save energy while maintaining capture.•Air is evenly dispersed though porous fabric, which eliminates drafts and condensation that would normally occur on a traditional metal duct.•Reduced dirt deposits on diffuser and adjacent ceiling tiles.•Fabric can be easily removed and washed.•The porous fabric includes an antimicrobial treatment and may provide secondary filtration benefits.Two other products available for Critical Environments include: ChemSox, developed for chemically harsh environments such as metal planting, chemical processing battery manufacturing and other, as well as the D-Fuser Filter (for critical environments experiencing airborne pollution).
