Mini-Duct Systems For Your Memphis Area Home
 Many
Memphis area homeowners of older homes without forced-air HVAC systems, would
like to add
central air conditioning and/or heating ducts, but are daunted by the cost
and difficulty of the installation process. Installation of ductwork may require
removing large sections of walls, floors or ceilings, or adding unsightly box
chases. However, high velocity heating and cooling systems minimize these
alterations by using small diameter ducts that can be more easily threaded
through floor, ceiling, and wall cavities. According to the manufacturers, these
high velocity systems operate quietly and improve dehumidification, room air
mixing, and energy efficiency over standard air-delivery duct systems.
High velocity mini-duct heating and cooling systems use a special fan coil and air
handling unit that generates high pressure air forced through small diameter
ducts. The main supply trunk is either a rectangular or round duct that supplies
air to flexible, insulated, 2" diameter plastic feeder ducts. Air passes through
sound-suppressing tubing at the end of a duct run before entering the room
through a plastic collar fitting. According to manufacturers, air is supplied at
440 to 1200 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
High velocity mini-duct systems use standard outdoor condensing units for air conditioning
and heat pump systems. As an option, a water coil can be mounted in the air
handling unit for boiler heating or chilled water cooling. Alternatively, adding
a bank of electric heating elements to the air handler can provide heating
capability to a high velocity air-conditioning system. High velocity system air
handlers can satisfy cooling capacities between 18,000 and 60,000 BTUH and
heating capacities between 24,000 and 143,000 BTUH.
