8.1 Distribution Duct
DualAir ® units are designed to be connected to
distribution and air inlet ducting.
It is recommended that flexible duct connectors and/
or attenuators are used to reduce duct born noises.
It is recommended that the inlet ducting is arranged
with both fresh air and recirculating air dampers to
take advantage of the "free cooling" stage provided.
Distribution ducting must be insulated to prevent
heat gain during cooling mode.
The air flow must be in the direction as stated for the
version being installed with the heater at the
discharge end.
The duct must be designed as described on Page
14, Section 8.1 and Figure 10 to ensure that there is
a homogenous air flow across the whole heat
exchanger. Failure to provide a properly distributed
air flow will reduce the life of the heat exchanger.
