2.1 INTERNAL DUCTING

The pre-insulated aluminium HVAC ducts will be produced using environmentally compatible
sandwich panels like the PIRAL HD HYDROTEC PANEL and with the following properties:
 Panel thickness: 20.5 mm;

 External aluminium: 0.08mm thick, embossed and protected with polyester lacquer;
 Internal aluminium: 0.08mm thick, embossed and protected with polyester lacquer;
 Initial thermal conductivity: 0.022 W/(m °C) at 10 °C;
 Insulating material density: 50-54 kg/m3;
 Insulating material: polyurethane which has been expanded with the use of only water and not
with CFC, HCFC, HFC or HC gasses;
 Insulation expanding agent: ODP (ozone depletion potential) = 0 and GWP (global warming
potential) = 0;
 % closed cells: > 95% according to ISO 4590;
 Rigidity class: R 200,000 according to UNI EN 13403;
 Fire reaction class: 0-1 according to Italian ministerial decree (D.M.) 26/06/84;
 Fire reaction class: B according to European Standard EN 13501-1;
 Fire reaction class: approved according to the ISO 9705 standard (Room corner test);
 Smoke toxicity and opacity: class F1 according to NF F 16-101;
 Smoke toxicity: FED and FEC < 0.3 according to prEN 50399-2-1/1;
 Smoke toxicity: below 6,7 according to the British Naval Engineering Standard NES 713;
Ducts will be built to in conformity with the UNI EN 13403 standard.
REINFORCEMNETS
Where necessary, the ducts will be fitted with special reinforcement bars in order to provide further
mechanical strength during operation. Said reinforcements will be calculated using the manufacturer's
charts. The maximum deflection of the sides of the duct must not exceed 3% or in any case 30 mm, as
laid down in standard UNI EN 13403.
FLANGING
The individual lengths of ducting will be joined together by means of special "invisible" flanges with
hidden bayonet connections, providing a suitable airtight and mechanical seal to meet the
requirements of standard UNI EN 13403. The maximum length of each section of duct will be 4
metres.
TURNING VANES & SPLITTERS

All rectangular elbows must be fitted with special turning vanes; the large circular elbows will be
fitted with splitters in order to meet the requirements of standard UNI EN 1505.
SUPPORTS
Ducts will be supported by special brackets at intervals which should not exceed 4 metres if the
widest side of the duct is less than 1 metre, and at intervals which should not exceed 2 metres if the
widest side of the duct is more than 1 metre. Accessories, such as: volume dampers, fire dampers,
diffusers, in-duct heating coils etc. will be supported independently so that the ducts do not have to
support their weight.
INSPECTION

PAGE 3 OF 7
Ducts will be fitted with special control points for airflow sensors and doors for inspection and
cleaning set at intervals along the ducts as laid down by standard EN 12097 and by the "Guidelines
published in the Italian Official Gazette dated 3/11/2006 relating to ventilation system maintenance".
Doors may be made using the same type of sandwich panel used to produce the ducting, in
conjunction with the relevant profiles. Doors will be fitted with seals in order to provide the required
airtight seal. Alternatively, P3ductal inspection hatches may be used.
AHU CONNECTION
Connections between air handling units and ducting will be performed by means of special
antivibration joints in order to isolate them from vibrations. Ducts will be supported independently in
order to prevent that the weight of the ducts be transferred to the flexible fittings. Moreover,
connection with the air handling unit will allow the unit to be uncoupled for system maintenance
purposes. Should the antivibration joints be fitted outdoor, they will have to be waterproof.
