Displacement Ventilation
Displacement Ventilation is an innovative and efficient method for supplying conditioned air and ventilating buildings. Leveraging the natural buoyancy of warm air, this system enhances both ventilation and comfort. Initially developed for industrial buildings, displacement ventilation has now gained significant market share across various applications worldwide. A key component of this system is Hero Fabriduct™.

System
Comparison
Before the Industrial Revolution and the invention of mixed air systems, buildings were cooled by their location, relying on natural breezes or cooler climates. These buildings leveraged gravity to keep denser, fresher air near the ground, allowing hot air to rise and disperse. Displacement ventilation, using Hero Fabriduct™, capitalizes on this natural convection process, resulting in a cleaner environment and significant energy savings. The slow introduction of air prevents the mixing of dirty and fresh air.
Advantages
- Improved Ventilation Efficiency: Results in better indoor air quality.
- Elimination of Harmful Gases and Particulates: Keeps the breathing space clean.
- Thermal Stratification: Ensures clean air remains at the breathing level, improving comfort.
- No Drafts: The linear slots in the Fabriduct™ prevent drafts.
- Energy Savings: Higher supply air temperatures offer more opportunities for using airside economizers.
- Reduced Ventilation Loads: Lower fuel and electric costs due to reduced supply air quantity and temperature.
- Enhanced Comfort and Health: Better air quality and comfort for workers and occupants.
- Improved Acoustics: The low-velocity air supply generates less noise than typical diffusers.
Hero Fabriduct™ provides an advanced and energy-efficient solution for modern building ventilation needs.
