Saving energy on air handling systems
Gerry Lanham, P.E.President, KBD/Technic explains how we can reduce energy costs for ventilation and emission control systems with careful attention to four factors
Clamp-together duct is ideal for virtually any negative-pressure ventilation system up to 40" water gauge with entrained dust, sand, fumes, mist, smoke, chips, trim scrap, etc.
Higher pressures can be accommodated on request.
Clamp-Together duct ranges from 24 gauge to optional 10 gauge thickness in galvanized and stainless steel with numerous options, including FDA-approved gaskets and seam seals for food applications or ground-and-buffed interior welds and seams for stranded or stringy materials.
The rolled lip on the duct and fittings acts as a stiffening ring to enable Clamp-Together duct to withstand much higher pressures than spiral or standard rolled duct.
The lifetime-guaranteed Forever Clamp is made of stainless steel and fitted with a winged O-ring gasket made of N-butyl rubber that resists most chemicals and oils and is suitable for temperatures to 250degF.
Other gasket materials include red silicon, Viton, and Gore-Tex.
Adjustable sleeves and components make field fitting to any length possible.
Nominal 5' lengths of duct have a rolled lip on each end, which can be cut down and slid into the sleeve or fitting and secured with an O-ring and Forever-Clamp.
Various hanging systems are available, including KandB's K-wick cable system, which is 70% faster than using threaded rod, conduit or saddles.
KandB Duct can provide free 3-D design, working from simple hand sketches.
A project inventory of all standard and special parts is then developed.
At the customer's request and for no additional cost, components are boxed and marked with sections/segments packed together for efficient staging at the job site.
