DYNAMIC  DUCTWORK STORES ENERGY 

TECHNOLOGICALLY FOAMED SELF INSULATED AIR DUCT SYSTEMS

AQC Industries manufactures a ductwork systems marketed under the name The Blue Duct. Our ductwork is benefiting the HVAC industry as a complete green building air system solution, identified as a energy saver . Installed in several thousands of buildings across the nation, also known as reducing costs in installation materials and labor, and providing an air system that is safe for humans and the environment. In summing it up, our ductwork systems incorporate tight seal technologies and thermal properties to create a superior energy efficient product; a performance that meets the next-generation of air distribution systems.

 THE BLUE DUCT™
Results in lab and field tests reinforced The Blue Duct's equivalency to R-10. It is accomplished not only by being air tight but also by using thermal mass, a thermal property between the foamed HDPE and the earth's constant temperature. It is also the result of The Blue Duct capacity to store thermal energy for extended periods, that is, The Blue Duct is effective in absorbing heating and cooling gains and releasing them during off cycle periods thus reducing the total load on the system.

The Blue Duct's embodied energy (highly desirable in LEED) methodology is to reduce the number of components that is in a typical construction formula used for underground air distribution systems. This includes R-10 wrapping, some types of polyvinyl chloride composite or reinforce fiber glass plastic or high gauged metal ducting, and cement trench structures with drain tile.  None of these are used with The Blue Duct systems, which has the least amount of interrelated economic activities resulting in a lower carbon footprint than our competitor's systems.
