VarioDuct™
Main features
• Combines two airflow solutions in one textile duct
• Offers draft-free cooling and heating with two different flow models
• Minimizes energy consumption and optimizes room comfort
• Suitable for integration in demand-controlled VAV solutions
• Quick and easy installation
Description
VarioDuct™ is a motorized damper type unit designed for the FabricAir® textile system, enabling the combination of two different flow models for draft-free cooling and heating within the same textile duct. The unit contributes to minimized energy consumption and optimizes room comfort through low vertical temperature gradients, ensuring uniform temperature from floor to ceiling.
Function
• The unit is equipped with an internal membrane that divides the duct into an upper and a lower section.
• A motorized damper enables the membrane to change position. During cooling, the airflow is directed to the upper section, and during heating, the airflow is directed to the lower section.
• The lower section of VarioDuct™ is used for heating, allowing high temperature differentials (positive ΔT), while the upper section is used for cooling with supply air below room temperature (negative ΔT).
• The two separate sections can be designed for different static pressures, temperatures, and airflow rates, enabling adaptation to specific requirements and comfort levels.
VAV Functions
• VarioDuct can advantageously be used in VAV solutions*) and can be connected to a BMS (Building Management System).
• VarioDuct can be combined with Klimatbyrån’s range for demand-controlled ventilation. This enables combinations of ΔT for high heating/cooling capacity and offers multiple operating modes with project-specific control strategies.
• Klimatbyrån can provide proposals for project-specific demand-controlled solutions and equipment, tailored to the desired room functions.
*) The unit requires external control equipment for operation of the motorized damper.
Delivery form
• Suspension is not included and must be specified separately from the FabricAir standard suspension range when ordering.
• VarioDuct is supplied for circular duct profiles in custom lengths, with support for bends and concentric reducers.
Options
• The product is supplied with an unpainted damper section in galvanized steel.
• The metal parts of the unit can, upon request, be supplied in the same colour as the textile duct.
• Textile colour must be specified when ordering the complete system.
• Standard unit comes with Belimo a CM24-F-L actuator. Please contact our sales for alternative actuator options or or specific control protocol requirements. please contact our sales.
• Damper and damper blade in galvanised steel sheet, with textile parts in FabricAir® Combi™ polyester.
• Each delivery includes a modular assembly drawing tailored for the specific project and selected suspension type.
• The product is installed with the membrane in a horizontal position, with the damper section placed before the textile section in the direction of airflow.
• The unit’s actuator should be positioned on the side of the circular duct profile (at 03 or 09 o’clock).
• The product requires no maintenance, although the placement and access of the unit’s actuator should be considered when placing the order.
• The unit must only be used for the airflow rates and static pressures it is designed for, as specified in the accompanying technical drawings.
