Hot air distribution

Hot Air Distribution

The hot air distribution system allows you to maximize the capabilities of heating devices. The pleasant warmth that heats the room with the fireplace can be very effectively distributed to other rooms.

How does the hot air distribution system work?

The most effective systems are those based on a fireplace with a cast iron insert. The air in the chimney hood heats up from the insert transferring heat from the firebox and from the flue pipe carrying combustion products. Using a system of air intakes, this warm air can be distributed to other, more distant rooms. A very important function in such a system is the external air supply system – the amount of supplied air must meet the demand related to its consumption.

Gravity and forced air distribution systems

Hot air distribution can be done in a gravity or forced manner. In the first variant, the heated areas cannot be more than 3 m – 4 m away from the fireplace hood. In the case of rooms further away from the source, a forced hot air distribution system must be used.

PARKANEX Turbines

The basis of forced heat distribution systems are turbines. The devices we offer can be adapted to the desired efficiency of the entire system. All are equipped with a thermostat – they turn on and off at a specified set temperature. They can operate continuously, distributing air to several rooms simultaneously over long distances. The fan used in the turbines can also be used to extract excess warm air from air-conditioned rooms.

We achieve much better efficiency of turbine operation by using a speed regulator, which is also available in our offer. Mechanical hot air filters are also an essential accessory for turbines.

Installation components

In our store, you can find all the elements needed to install the hot air distribution system:

• flexible ducts for distributing hot air: Aluflex and Termoflex; made of aluminum; available in various sizes. Termoflex ducts are thermally and acoustically insulated, while Aluflex ducts are also suitable for building air conditioning systems,
• air supply channels,
• air intakes mounted on the outside of buildings (rectangular and round) equipped with horizontal louvers to protect against rain and rodents; made of stainless steel,
• reducers, elbows, dampers, tees, distribution boxes, rosettes, and even hose clamps.
