The Phonic Trap 3 meters - Ø100mm duct is primarily designed to reduce noise disturbances in your ventilation systems. Thanks to its 25 mm insulating layer, it decreases noise by 40 to 50% compared to a standard aluminum duct. However, this duct does not significantly limit heat transmission. Its insulation is optimized for acoustic absorption, not thermal insulation. If your goal is to reduce transmitted heat, it is better to choose a duct specifically dedicated to thermal insulation.

Question 18

What is the pressure drop in Pa/m for this Phonic Trap duct 3m 100mm compared to a standard aluminum duct?

Accepted Answer

The Phonic Trap duct 3 meters - Ø100mm has a pressure drop ranging from 6.7 to 16.7 Pa/m, which is slightly higher than a standard aluminum duct whose pressure drop is generally below 10 Pa/m due to a smoother inner surface. This slight increase in flow resistance is due to the integrated sound-absorbing materials, which, however, allow for a noise reduction of 40 to 50% compared to a traditional aluminum duct. Thus, the Phonic Trap offers an excellent compromise between acoustic comfort and ventilation performance without significantly penalizing air flow.
