3. Multiple Shape Availability
FabricSox is available in three standard shapes, thus offering flexibility in terms of shapes and designs. All standard components such as Reducers, Tee, Bend, Y, and Square to Round are easily designed & manufactured in FabricSox. This means that the design and manufacture of these components can be seamlessly integrated into the overall FabricSox system.
Internal Shape Maintaining Rings: (SRR) Maintaining shape
FabricSox offers SRR for round duct shapes to maintain the aesthetic round shape of the duct even when there is no air or air with less pressure flowing through it. The SRR connectors offered by FabricSox can be used to transition the duct from a square shape to a round shape while maintaining the overall aesthetic appeal of a round duct.
SRR
When the duct is under suction, the SRR connector allows the duct to act as a carrier of air to the unit. This can be useful in applications where return air needs to be transported from a particular area to the HVAC unit. By using the SRR connectors, the duct can maintain its round shape, which may provide better airflow and reduced air resistance.
4. Multiple Color Choices
FabricSox is available in eight standard colors complementing the architectural vision of the building. Fabricsox also provides color customization based on your specifications.
One of the primary advantages of having multiple color options for fabric air ducts is that it allows for greater customization and flexibility in aesthetics.
By offering a variety of colors, it is possible to choose a shade that stands out and is easy to spot. This especially helps in cases where it may be necessary to make the fabric air ducts more visible to comply with safety regulations which makes it easier to locate in a large space.
In a commercial or industrial setting, having multiple color options can allow businesses to choose colors that match their branding or logo, helping to reinforce their identity and create a cohesive visual experience for customers and employees alike.
5. Experienced Design Team
FabricSox uses CAD/CAE software to create a detailed design of the duct system. This allows for precise modeling of the ducting and airflow patterns, as well as ensuring that the design meets the end-user requirements.
Once the design is created, FabricSox uses CFD analysis to simulate the behavior of the airflow in the duct system. This allows for a detailed analysis of the airflow patterns, pressure drops, and other factors that may impact the performance of the system; which helps in verifying and improving results.
Before proceeding to final production, FabricSox conducts testing in its Air Dispersion Test Lab. The preliminary pieces of the duct system are tested in an Air Dispersion Test Lab in a controlled environment to verify and improve the results. This ensures that the final product meets the required performance standards and is optimized for the specific application.
