Model of a cheese ripening room with a blue fabric duct above stacked cheese racks and low-velocity air jets
Fabric duct for cheese plants: condensate, shrinkage and airflow
||
A cheese plant asks two opposite things of its air: pull moisture out of a hot, humid make room before it condenses overhead, and move a large airflow at very low velocity through ripening rooms where a few feet per...

Pharmaceutical lab model with a blue fabric duct whose short jets lose velocity before reaching the fume hood
Fabric duct in pharmaceutical plants: air distribution by zone
||
A pharmaceutical plant asks three different things of its air: low cross-draft velocity at fume hoods and biosafety cabinets in the lab, particle control and full-room flushing with no stagnant zones in production, and temperatures held within setpoint limits throughout...

57% “left: too hot/cold” beside a CFD cutaway of an apparel store with a fabric duct and its air temperature field
Fabric Duct for Apparel Stores: Drafts, Condensation and Noise
||
An apparel store is controlled to one thermostat reading, but shoppers and staff feel something else: a cold jet at the register, a warm fitting room at the back, a drip line over a rack of white shirts. Each of...

Fabric duct hanging from a steel cable beneath the high glazed roof of an airport terminal concourse
Air distribution in airport terminals: the fabric duct case
||
Thermal drafts, jet decay from 100 ft ceilings and duct leakage decide air distribution in an airport terminal. What fabric duct with nozzles changes.

Fabric duct suspended from a steel cable above the water surface of an indoor swimming pool with concrete structure
Why metal ductwork does not belong in an indoor pool
||
In 1985 the concrete roof of an indoor pool in Uster, Switzerland, fell onto the swimmers and twelve people died. The stainless steel rods holding it had been cracking for years from chloride-induced corrosion, at a temperature engineering considered safe....
