The disclosure relates to the technical field of air ducts, and in particular to a weather-resistant plant fiber-reinforced air duct with a multi-layer wall, and a preparation method thereof. The weather-resistant plant fiber-reinforced air duct with a multi-layer wall includes an outer isolation layer, a plant fiber-reinforced thermal insulation layer, a moisture-proof layer and a sealing layer that are arranged in sequence from inside to outside. The plant fiber-reinforced thermal insulation layer is prepared by the paving and laminating of surface fiber foam materials and core fiber foam materials or by the winding and molding of glass fibers and plant fibers. An outer isolation layer is adopted to protect the plant fiber-reinforced thermal insulation layer from being damaged by rubbing, and the moisture-proof layer and the sealing layer are adopted to ensure that the air does not leak out.

A ducting system for a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) application includes a duct assembly having an inner duct member, and an outer duct member disposed around the inner duct such that the outer and inner duct members together define a pre-determined amount of space therebetween. The ducting system also includes a bonding and insulation composite that is disposed in the pre-determined amount of space between the inner and outer duct members to insulate the inner and outer duct members from each other yet adhesively bond with each of the inner and outer duct members for imparting structural rigidity to the duct assembly.

An apparatus (1) and method for introducing a foil (10) to be laminated to an inner surface (15) of an elongated duct (6), wherein the foil is providable on an axle (2), the axle being movable from a first position outside of the duct, where the foil is provided on the axle, to a second position inside the duct where the foil is in position for lamination to the inner surface of the duct.

The invention provides a pre-insulated duct having a length and comprising a tube having a foam layer. The pre-insulated duct has an interior face and an exterior face and a thickness defined as a distance between the interior face and the exterior face. The interior face of the pre-insulated duct bounds an airflow space. In the present group of embodiments, the pre-insulated duct has a mounting rail system extending along the length of the pre-insulated duct. The mounting rail system includes at least one mounting rail, and preferably a plurality of mounting rails, positioned on (e.g., positioned on an exterior of) the pre-insulated duct.

A system for packing and assembling a flexible duct that includes a sleeve. The sleeve includes a tubular vapor barrier and an insulating layer within the vapor barrier and includes a central cavity. Further, the sleeve is radially compressed and rolled along an axial direction. The system also includes an air core sized to fit within the central cavity of the insulating layer. The air core includes a sheet that blocks fluid flow therethrough and a structural support coiled within the sheet and the air core is flattenable and not within the rolled sleeve.
