NanoSox Fabric Duct System for U-HAUL Storage Warehouse

PA ESS U-haul 20th Street Storage Project

As one of the most well-known truck and self-storage rental companies in the United States, U-haul entrusted Durkee to design and supply high-quality fabric air dispersion system for U-haul 20th Street Self-storage Climate Control Project.

The overall storage warehouse was divided into four areas with several crossing aisles in each area to get access to each self-storage unit. Considering that the A/C was required to cover large area with small airflow (1850 CFM) from each Unit and the necessity of temperature and humidity control, clearly lots of innovative ideas have been introduced into Durkee design to serve mixed purpose.

High Quality Materials:

Durkee selected NanoSox-series fabric duct systems for this project. The system benefitted from anti-microbial, anti-static, and inherent fire-retardant property, which is classified by UL (UL2518, NFPA90-A, ULC, AC-167), British BS Part 6&7 (Class 0) as well as EN-13501-2007. The fire-retardant property does not degrade after 50 times laundry and shall never decrease during the lifecycle service period.

Tailored Design:

Durkee distributed several straight fabric ducts with single-row orifice at 6:00 right above the aisles to obtain even air distribution and ensure that air could reach the floor without blocking or missing zone caused by massive ceiling of each unit, dramatically increasing the ventilation efficiency and make the most use of limited airflow.  The result was a draft free even temperature distribution cross the entire facility.

Anti-condensation:

Small airflow discharged from fabric permeation forms a cooling air layer around the fabric duct to isolate the duct from condensation by reducing heating exchange even under high relative humidity condition.

Fast Installation

Durkee processed the order and made on-time fast delivery within two weeks based upon the client’s demand. it often takes only 1/10 time of GI duct installation to install a Durkee air dispersion system, which greatly facilitates the project schedule and save the labor cost.
