Pre-Insulated Duct Panel

- Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam panel with 45kg/m3 density, coated with 80/80µm thick embossed aluminium foil.   - Two panel types:     PI-20: 20mm thickness     PI-30: 30mm thickness   - For construction of air ducting in heating, ventilation and     air-conditioning systems (HVAC).

Panels Characteristic

Description in the Project:

- Pre-insulated aluminum ducts PI-20 / PI-30 built with four separate faces, lengthwise glued, sealed with silicone inside angle and with aluminum tape for the exterior angle.
- Cross-joints with glued male & female fit.

The ducts of aluminum Delta are the result of a rigorous work elaborated during many years by professionals of the duct field that thought about the necessity to find solutions to the habitual daily problems.They began making a study of which would be the qualities required to a theoretical ideal ducting, keeping in mind for it three basic factors: TECHNICIAN, PRACTICAL and ECONOMIC.

Qualities of the "Ideal Duct":

1- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ):
- Current demand: the Indoor Air Quality inside of the duct
- Very high benefits of hygiene
- PI solves it with pure aluminium
- VERY CLEAN: the air is always only in contact with pure aluminium
- The insulation doesn't remove particles
- Easy to clean

2- Load Loss:
- Practically the same as the sheet metal (GI)
- Total ruggedness: K=0,025
- Standard calculation charts: doesn't need to apply any correction factor

3- Thermal Insulation:
- The BEST THERMAL INSULATION: k=0,020
- The Polyisocyanurate (PIR) rigid foam is of closed cell
- Very high benefits of thermal insulation: 20 or 30mm of thickness
- Continuous insulation in all the points of the installation
- Total elimination of the thermal bridges
- It annuls the condensation risks
- Bigger yield of the installation
- Smaller cost of exploitation
See insulation (File Excel)

4 -Acoustic Behavior:
- Behavior like as the sheet metal (GI)
- To desing with the same approaches
See graphic (File Excel)

5- Sealed Lengths:
- The system doesn't use mechanical unions
- The ducts and pieces are built of four faces (strips) separate and of 3.000 mm long
- All the faces ones are glued lengthwise, sealed with silicone the interior angles and with aluminum tape for the exterior
- This system makes practically impossible any longitudinal loss leackage

6- Sealed Cross-Joints:
- The PIR rigid foam allows to cut male and female with a perfect step, guaranteeing the perfect union among two pieces.
- The male and female cross-joint fit are glued and with aluminum tape for the exterior
- Cross-joints fit each 3.000mm, reducing drastically the number of joints and the possibility of losses leackage

7- Mechanical Resistance:
- The ducts built with PI pre-isolated aluminum panels resists very high levels of pressure, so positive as negative:
·PI-20 (20mm): <1.000 Pa
·PI-30 (30mm): <1.400 Pa
- Once built, the ducts and pieces acquire a great resistance and rigidity
See reinforcements (Archivo Excel)

8- Impact Resistance:
- Light, but very resistant
- Installed inside the buildings it is not necessary to take any special caution
- Installed outside of the buildings they should be protected of the meteorological inclemencies: rain, hail and wind
- The protection of the rain and of the hail it is solved easily with the application of a special painting
- The protection of the wind is solved with the appropriate supports

9- Long-Life Materials:
- The PEARL pre-insulated aluminium panels is compound for two materials:
·External protection: foil pure aluminium embossed in both faces
·Inside insulation: PIR rigid foam
- Both materials are unalterable in the time and they don't suffer any type of environmental corrosion neither aging

10- Weight:
- Light, but very resistant:
.PI- 20 (20mm): weight 1,1 kg/m2
.PI- 30 (30mm): weight 1,4 kg/m2
- It is equal at 1/6 of the weight of the sheet metal (GI) ducts without isolation
- Easy to transpot, to handle, to build and to install

11- Dimension and Shape:
- Thanks to the qualities and characteristic of the PI pre-insulated panels the ducts and shape can be built without limits of measures and forms
- You can get this way any dimension and shape that you can need and always fulfilling international standards: Ashrae, Smacna, etc...

12- Easy to Build:
-Ducts and shape always built with four separate faces (strips) of 4.000mm of long
-The strips are cut lengthwise to 45º right and left in both sides
-The system allow standardized measures
-The system allow to create stock of strips and to be early to the demand, contributing a great reaction capacity
-In practically is an DIY
-See more details in Manual page

13- Regulations:
-The ducts built with the PI panels fulfills the Standard regulations, as well as with the most of the international regulations and standards
-The classification of the fire reaction are in concordance with the Standard regulation. Is certified as class M-1

14- Economic:
-The PEARL pre-insulated aluminium ducts are considered as an true alternative at the traditional ducts of sheet metal (GI) with insulation
-But the price is at same level of the fiber glass duct boards
-The BEST quality-Price relationship of the market
