KE-DireJet® System KE-Inject® System KE-Low Impulse® System KE-Interior® System

KE-DireJet® System

KE-DireJet® System

The KE-DireJet® System combines the advantages of the diffuse air distribution characteristic for the KE-Low Impulse® System with the more directional ventilation of e.g. the  KE-Inject® System.

Flexibility is key as the venturi shaped nozzles may be located anywhere on the surface. The number of nozzles per linear feet effective DireJet duct determines whether the delivery of air will be diffuse or highly directional. The suitability of the KE-DireJet® System may be divided into 3 main principles:

Diffuse delivery
Rooms with relatively high comfort requirements (max. 40 FPM) may benefit from a combination of the DireJet principle and the diffuse flow pattern of the KE-Low Impulse® System in periods requiring less heating or when requiring directional ventilation over one particular machine. In addition, condensation problems on the ceiling in humid rooms are eliminated merely by placing a few KE-DireJet® nozzles per linear feet in the direction of the ceiling. For this purpose the 1/2" & 3/4" nozzles will be particularly suitable. 

Combination delivery
The combination solution with KE-DireJet® nozzles and the fabric is typically applied in rooms with medium comfort demands. The difference between the KE-Inject® System and the KE-DireJet® System for combination delivery is primarily that the DireJet may be used even in very humid environments without creating condensation problems and that both throw and thermal penetration length are considerably longer than those of the KE-Inject® System. Primarily this is an advantage if the air is to be distributed over a larger area. At the same time it should be noted that the induction, i.e. the ability to entrain room air is proportionally poorer. For this purpose the 3/4" & 1" nozzles will be particularly suitable. 

Directional delivery
With more process-oriented solutions where cooling and/or heating demands primarily arise out of regard to the process itself, the directional air distribution solely through the KE-DireJet nozzles is extremely efficient. The air is directed to the target area, and the flexible location of the nozzles applies to almost all tasks. The directional delivery applies favorably in high production rooms (H > 20-26 feet) as well as in gymnasiums, swimming pools, storage facilities, in food terminals and in equalizing cold stores in slaughterhouses. Maintenance of this type of DireJet® systems is minimal as the filtration effect of the textile is practically 0%. For this purpose the 1", 2" (DireJet Vario) & 2 1/2" nozzles will be particularly suitable.

KE-Inject® System

KE-Inject® System

The Inject system is specially suitable for industrial premises (room height 10-20 feet) where the need is for different supply air temperatures whether it regards heating, cooling or just replacement air.

In order to achieve a uniform and optimum air distribution throughout the whole room, the entire length of the inject duct is used as one long diffuser ensuring that air delivery will not be limited to particular zones. The patented orifice design makes air delivery velocities of up to 3000 FPM through duct orifices possible without draft problems. The advantage of a high delivery velocity is a significant improvement of the injection capability or induction compared with traditional ventilation fittings, i.e. the ability to induce and mix room air is significantly better with a KE-Inject® System.

When KE Fibertec introduced laser technology in the production a new generation of hybrid products became available. Before the laser technology was available the choice had to be the 100% displacement product KE-Low Impulse® System or the PVC-coated 0 porosity material with orifice (holes) (the KE Inject System). With the new production technology KE Fibertec is able to combine the advantages of both systems, rendering a passive low impulse system more active by adding rows of orifice holes to divert the air away from the near zone right under the fabric duct.

KE-Laser Inject

  • Laser cut inject can be used as a supplement for the well known textile ducts, typically comfort premises where high demands are made on a good air distribution
  • and when temperature difference (delivery air and room air) is higher than 7-9°F in order to avoid cold drop right under the textile duct
  • There is a need to wash the ceiling or exterior glass to avoid condensation on any surface.
  • There is both a cooling and a heating requirement in the room.
  • Laser-cut Inject can with advantage be combined with regular textile ducts in offices, schools, restaurants or in laboratories where there is a need for a certain throw length.

The KE Inject system is available in three different configurations:

 Low Velocity (LV) Hole Pattern Medium Velocity (MV) Hole Pattern  Jet Velocity (Jet) Hole Pattern

KE-Low Impulse® System

KE-Low Impulse® System

The KE-Low Impulse® System is an ideal solution for the delivery and distribution of cooled air, especially with regard to hygiene, comfort, and temperature control.

The KE-Low Impulse® System is a system of lightweight, flexible textile ducts that distribute and filter the cooled air completely without drafts. The air slowly diffuses through the permeable surface at a velocity of approx. 20 FPM, and the excellent air distribution ensures a good working environment
- even in cold rooms.

The system is particularly well suited for the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and the electronics industry, however, it is also very relevant to applications that require high cooling and ventilation loads. The KE-Low Impulse® System air flow is based on the displacement principle, i.e. differences in density (cold air displaces warm air) and convective currents over heat sources being of vital importance. The system will only work if the fundamental physical laws are obeyed. As an example the KE-Low Impulse® System cannot be used for heating purposes. However, when sized properly it is possible to cool by up to 63 BTU/ Sq Ft floor area without drafts, and the system is condensation-free even at a humidity rate of over 90% RH.

KE-Interior® System

KE-Interior® System

The KE Interior® system offers unique opportunities to make a fabric duct system an architectural feature. The half round ducts can be designed as an integrated part of the interior design. Blending in with the design scheme that the air distribution device remains virtually unnoticed. It can also be an active visual part of the architectural layout, with ducts and hanging hardware manufactured in a continuous curve to accommodate the over all architectural scheme.

Further KE-Interior® systems are particular well suited for applications which are cycling on and off during occupancy hours. (Classrooms, offices etc) Due to the nature of the KE Interior® system it will maintain the same appearance even when the system is off. (Hyperlink) Click here for example.

The KE-Interior® System is available either as half-round or quarter-round fabric ducts in a design adjustable to all types of rooms, i.e. industrial kitchens, laboratories, office environments, production facilities in the food industry or the pharmaceutical industry.
The unique design ensures an optimum air distribution regardless of ventilation requirements. Even at minimum ventilation in systems with variable air flow (VAV, turned down to 20% or lower), the KE Interior® system will keep a nice appearance without sagging. The fresh air is delivered slowly and draft-free through the textile surface and into the room. With the newly developed D-Lite Alu suspension system fitted for all types of ceilings and the wide selection of colors the KE-Interior® System is suitable for all types of buildings - new or old. The system does not generate any noise and the soft fabric ducts even provide a sound-absorbing effect in the room.

KE Interior® systems can be designed in multiple ways. It can be for a displacement (cooling only) application. Or a hybrid solution incorporating the KE inject or KE DireJet technology described in the paragraphs above.
