The Benefits of Round Ductwork
Round ductwork offers a number of advantages over traditional square or rectangular ductwork. These advantages include:
Increased airflow: Round ducts have a lower resistance to airflow than square or rectangular ducts, which means that they can move more air with less energy.
Reduced noise: Round ducts produce less noise than square or rectangular ducts, making them ideal for use in areas where noise is a concern.
Improved aesthetics: Round ducts have a more streamlined appearance than square or rectangular ducts, making them more visually appealing.
The Design of Round Duct Systems
The design of a round duct system is a critical step in ensuring that the system will meet the needs of the application. The following factors should be considered when designing a round duct system:
The airflow requirements of the system
The static pressure loss that is acceptable
The available space for the ductwork
The desired appearance of the ductwork
