Abstract

Nowadays, people have changed their lifestyle behaviors. Most people increasingly prefer to do activities indoors, with using HVAC systems to achieve comfort is important. For large buildings, engineers often design the air-conditioning system with air ductwork to increase the efficiency of air distribution throughout the air-conditioned area. Traditional air ductworks are designed with galvanized steel sheets. But it has an energy loss due to the heat transfer. For this reason, there has been the development of innovative air duct technology called the Pre-insulated duct, which is an outstanding feature of heat insulation. This research analyzed the energy loss in terms of thermal exergy loss. The result shows that the Pre-insulated duct has thermal exergy losses of 0.6 W/m2. It can reduce an energy consumption more than the use of the Galvanized steel duct, accounting for 35.29 percent.
