Rectangular Duct Work is a ducting system made in rectangular shape to move air through HVAC, AC and ventilation systems. It is also called rectangular ductwork, rectangular ducting, rectangular HVAC duct, AC rectangular duct, air conditioning rectangular duct and sheet metal rectangular duct.
In HVAC, rectangular ductwork means a rectangular air duct system used for supply air, return air, fresh air and exhaust air movement. It is commonly used with AHU systems, FCU systems, ducted AC, package AC, VRF indoor units and central AC systems.
The main purpose of rectangular ductwork is to distribute air properly across different rooms and zones. It helps maintain cooling comfort, ventilation performance, indoor air quality and HVAC system efficiency.
Rectangular ducts act as the main air path in an HVAC system. They carry conditioned air from the equipment to diffusers and grilles, and also help return indoor air back to the system.
