Kingspan Insulation, market leader in the
manufacture of rigid urethane and rigid phenolic insulation
products, offers engineers, designers and contractors premium and
high performance insulation solutions for ductwork in Building
Services / HVAC applications for both new and refurbishment
projects.
The Kingspan KoolDuct® System
The System is an advanced and innovative
pre-insulated ductwork system available in up to 3 m long ductwork
sections, fabricated from CFC / HCFC-free rigid phenolic insulation
panels with aluminium surfaces available in silver or black.
It is particularly suitable for high specification projects that
require durable materials to perform in moisture and hygiene
controlled environments.
Lightweight
Weighing up to 85% less than galvanised sheet
metal ductwork, the system can overcome severe constraints on
structural loadings and is ideal for refurbishment projects in older
buildings which cannot support the additional weight of insulated
sheet metal ductwork.
Speed
It has a single fix installation as the lagging
operation is eliminated, thus reducing site time and contractor
management. The availability of Kingspan KoolDuct in 3 m long
sections vs. 1.2 / 1.5 m for sheet metal also means fewer sections
and less handling, resulting in fast track installation – up to
three times faster.
Space
The pre-insulated system can be installed flush
to the ceiling, as it does not require lagging and can save up to
150-200 mm of space above a false ceiling. The low thermal
conductivity (0.021 W/m·K) of the rigid phenolic insulation panels,
allows specified thermal performance standards to be achieved with a
minimal thickness of insulation.
Installed Cost
Independent research by Bucknall Austin in April
2007, revealed that the installed cost of the system can be up to
19% cheaper compared to the installed cost of insulated sheet metal
ductwork.
Air Leakage, Energy & Running Cost
The air leakage rate of the system is a fraction
of that of insulated sheet metal ductwork and can easily meet the
requirements of HVAC DW 144 – Class C (high pressure).
When combined with the low thermal conductivity
(0.021 W/m·K) and superior insulating qualities of the rigid
phenolic insulation panels, the system can yield significant
electrical consumption savings due to reduced heating and cooling
loads.
Independent research investigating the estimated
effect on fan power of different ductwork air leakage rates, showed
that the use of the Kingspan KoolDuct System can save over 30% on
the annual electricity cost of running a fan.
Air Quality
The airstream flowing through the ductwork flows
over sealed aluminium surfaces, reducing the risk of loose fibres
entering the air handling system. As a result the system is often
specified in food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical and other
clean air environments.
Versatility
The system can be installed internally,
externally with additional weatherproofing e.g. rooftop
installations, concealed above a false ceiling, or visibly mounted.
It can be installed in very high ambient temperature and relative
humidity ambient operating conditions.
Installation & Fabrication
The Kingspan KoolDuct System is fabricated and
installed by specially trained fabricators and installers who have
completed a comprehensive training program, and who have been
granted ‘authorised contractor’ status by Kingspan Insulation.
Competencies are continually monitored and controlled with
‘authorised contractor’ status reviewed on an annual basis.
Applications
The Kingspan KoolDuct System is specified for use
in residential, commercial and industrial applications:
New build & refurbished domestic living
accommodation
Food & beverage & pharmaceutical manufacturing
Hospitals & health facilities where hygiene is high priority &
non-mineral fibre insulation products are preferred
Education & leisure facilities e.g, swimming pools

The Kingspan Kooltherm® Ductwork Insulation
System
For projects or situations where traditional
insulated sheet metal ductwork must be used, Kingspan Insulation can
offer the Kingspan Kooltherm Duct Insulation System as an
alternative thin solution that provides some of the benefits of the
pre-insulated system, but not all.
