2020-01-07What is an Electrostatic Precipitator and how does it work?

Electrostatic Precipitator is a more efficient air purifcation solution than standard non-woven filters (e.g. HEPA filters), which clog up much faster, thus reducing the efficiency of the entire ventilation system. Find out how it works!

2019-12-16Ventilation systems for swimming pools

Ventilation systems for swimming pool halls must be resistant to aggressive and humid environments. Not only the air handling unit but also the appropriate air distribution ductwork system is responsible for meeting harsh humidity conditions.

2019-12-10Modular Dust Extraction Ducting

Industrial dust extraction is used in welding industry, metalworking industry, woodworking industry, food and pharmaceutical industry. Installation air-tightness is crucial for this type of systems, since any kind of leakage may cause dust leaking outside of the ductwork and reduce dust extraction efficiency.

2019-11-18Is Elastomeric Closed-Cell Insulation a Good Solution for Ventilation?

Why insulate the ductwork? Insulation protects against condensation and energy loss as well as attenuates noises. Find out more about the pros and cons of elastomeric foam insulation in comparison to glass and stone wool.

2019-11-08Air Damper for Dust Extraction Installations

Are air dampers needed for dust extraction systems? (Hint: YES, there are) Ventilation dampers are used in dust extraction systems to adjust and control airflow into particular duct branches. Sliding dampers vs. shutoff dampers in dust extraction systems.

2019-07-22Iris dampers for Circular Ductwork - accurate and quick airflow control

Quick, silent and efficient – these are the distinctive features of the GBL iris dampers used to adjust and measure airflow. GBL iris dampers allow for quick and exact adjustment of the airflow. They work very well wherever accurate airflow adjustment and individual control over the comfort conditions and parameters are required.

2019-07-09FLX-REKU - Air Distribution System for the MVHR

Spiral, metal, rigid ducts next to flexible ducting (flex) are the most typical solutions for air distribution ductwork in the MVHR system – both have the pros and cons which we discuss later in the article – however, there is also the third option – modular air distribution ductwork using semi-rigid non-metallic ducting – radial or oval.

2019-07-08Air Volume Regulators CAV & VAV- overview

Airflow regulators maintain desired air flow rate in particular branches of ducting system regardless pressure variation inside the ducts. It makes the process of system design much easier but noise generation and operating costs should be considered that is why low initial pressure set up is crucial. Air flow regulation can take place both in supply and extract air duct

2019-04-08What is a Smoke Extraction System?

Smoke extraction system is designed to effectively remove smoke, heat, and combustion products from the areas affected by fire, and at the same time proportionally supplement the system's output with external compensating air. Read to find out more!

2019-02-20MOCarz-CA - Upgraded air filtration with activated carbon

Referred to also as activated charcoal or activated carbon is a substance in the form of dust consisting of elemental carbon, and finely crystalline graphite. The most important feature of actrivated carbon is a vast surface of adsorption. Adsorption is the process by which liquid or gaseous molecules are concentrated on a solid surface, in this case activated carbon (activated charcoal).
