Ventilation Duct Using Hdpe Pipe

Oxford Plastics manufactures hdpe plastic pipe for ventilation duct in commercial and industrial facilities. The need for reliable and durable ventilation piping continues to grow at an incredible pace as we learn more about our indoor environment. Besides its excellent chemical resistance, our polyethylene plastic pipe has many other benefits worth considering. Thanks to its smooth inner surface, the pressure loss in plastic ventilation piping can be reduced by as much as 25% compared with metal piping. It can also mean smaller pipes and less powerful ventilation equipment lowering both your installation and operating costs. Due to its light weight, plastic ventilation piping is easy and less expensive to transport, to install and to support. Above all else, our pipe guarantees you a long lasting, maintenance free service.

Advantages of Ventilation
Ever since energy conservation measures were brought into the workplace and throughout the construction industry during the 1970s, new buildings were built to minimize leakage to control energy loss, improve comfort, and minimize the transport of moisture and pollutants through the building shell. To offset these measures, mechanical ventilation devices were installed to import fresh air improving the quality of the indoor air. Inadequate ventilation has long been recognized as a major cause of health problems due to common industrial and cleaning chemicals, particles, dust, pollen and combustible products from heating equipment, gas water heaters and boilers. Good ventilation not only protects you, your family, and your employees from unpleasant odors, irritating pollutants, and potentially dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and radon, a well designed ventilation system can save you a lot of money. Ventilation gets rid of moisture which can cause a lot of structural damage by encouraging the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria, dust mites, dry rot, and insects. It helps to preserve the structural integrity of the building, reduces your maintenance costs and increases the value of the building. Ventilation is highly recommended for confined or windowless spaces, in work environments that are sealed to maximize energy conservation, use lots of equipment or with a lot of people.

Advantages of Using Polyethylene Pipe for Ventilation Duct
Ventilation can include any number of mechanical ventilation devices, from exhaust fans that intermittently remove air from a single room, such as bathrooms and the kitchen, to air handling systems that use fans and duct work to continuously remove indoor air and distribute filtered and conditioned outdoor air to strategic points throughout the house. While our ventilation duct is capable of handling chemically abrasive materials and is leak free, immediate detection and location of leaks is still possible by mean of an electronic detection device, reducing repair costs and additional damage. Its smooth interior also makes it attractive for its high flow rates making it easier to move air and contaminants through the system placing less demands on the ventilation equipment. Easy installation and maintenance costs compared to other piping materials such as steel, make our pipe a popular choice with contractors as ventilation duct.

While the installation of ventilation duct can be a costly investment in the short term, the cost to your health and building can't be ignored. If you're thinking about making a long term investment in a ventilation system for your facility, let our extensive experience in ventilation piping help you to make the right decision.
