Hot, Sprays and 
Cold Ducting System​ 

integratedAIR’s Process 

Our client needed to clean the air currently going out into atmosphere in its industrial process to keep within its local environmental guidelines and help reduce its environmental impact. The system is required to handle hot gas flows from the two can-making lines in the Valencia plant and the VOC/Dust contaminated exhaust air. Before designing the system, we completed a site visit to confirm the “as running” flows of all the systems to cross-check against the original design and ensure alignment between the outlet stacks and future ducting.

Key Considerations

• ►
  Load on the roof: to combat the additional load on the roof, our client provided stubs for our steelwork so that our integratedAIR Team could install the ductwork. Supports from the ducting down to the beams have thermal breaks to ensure energy is not transferred into the supports and building.
• ►
  Leakage: flanged joints with slipped ends have also been used throughout to ensure no leakage from the system.
• ►
  Temperature changes: provisions have also been made for expansion due to temperature changes in the metal.
• ►
  Heat loss and condensation: on the outside, to minimise heat loss and condensation, the ducting has been insulated and weather protected using mineral wool followed by an aluminium/zinc coated steel cladding.
