Innovative technology of zero-carbon composite air duct, great victory - Italian P3 leads the high-quality development of the air duct industry

Zhuang Junhan, the president of Shenzhen Hospital Management Association, said in his speech at the conference: In 2023, with the acceleration of the global low-carbon development process as China puts forward the "dual carbon" goal, HVAC system, as a major energy consumer in buildings, is closely related to the realization of the goal of "carbon neutrality". Its energy conservation and consumption reduction has obviously become a major event related to the international people's livelihood.The largest energy consumption in building system is air conditioning, accounting for 40% or even 60%. Duct is an important accessory in air conditioning equipment. To achieve carbon compliance, the efficient and energy-saving composite duct has great potential.

In the future, non-metallic composite air ducts will lead the development of air duct technology.Mr. Zeng Zuming, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Municipal Design and Research Institute, deputy general manager of Shenzhen Metro Innovation Research Institute, and founding president of Shenzhen HVAC Industry Association, said that in terms of national policies, market demand, installation convenience, service life, etc., non-metallic composite air ducts will lead the development of air duct technology in the future.Due to their light weight, beautiful appearance, and durability, non-metallic composite air ducts have advantages that traditional air ducts cannot match, especially in energy conservation, health, noise, installation, maintenance, space saving, etc., making them an ideal alternative to traditional air ducts.At the same time, Mr. Zeng also put forward new requirements for air ducts from the perspective of industry development: green construction, green construction, and prefabrication.These can be achieved through AI technology and BIM intelligent manufacturing.Mr. Zeng Zuming expounded on the importance and ways of urban development and green low-carbon buildings from the perspective of the three elements of the future city and the national strategy of achieving "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality".He also said that with the guidance of the dual carbon goals, the main building systems in the future will be green, healthy, ultra-low energy consumption, prefabricated buildings, and dual carbon cities will be the biggest driving force for future cities.

Sunduct pioneered the "Digital Intelligent Wind Pipe System", and the development of innovative aluminum foil composite wind pipes is unstoppable.

Dr. Gong Deren from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Senior Engineer from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University shared his joint research with Sunduct on material innovation research and smart applications.

Dr. Gong emphasized that material innovation is crucial for the development of the wind duct industry, and the technology and experience in aerospace, rail transit, and shipbuilding can bring many inspirations and innovative ideas to the wind duct industry. At this forum, Dr. Gong proposed that the research direction of new materials in cooperation between Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Sunduct can start from the research of multifunctional coatings and the application of AI, as well as the research and development of intelligent unmanned cleaning equipment, fully leveraging Shanghai Jiao Tong University's talent advantages, professional advantages, and platform advantages, and conducting joint research with Sunduct on the localization of composite air duct materials and the digitization of systems, And provide new ideas and possibilities for the future of digital wind pipes through the transformation of technological achievements and industrialization. As Dr. Gong said, one generation of materials, one generation of equipment, and a small air duct have great potential.

Sun Weidong, Executive President of Shenzhen HVAC Association and Shenzhen Sunduct Industrial Development Co., Ltd., analyzed the "overlooked areas" and pointed out that although air ducts are an important component of building HVAC systems, they are often overlooked in the development of the entire industry.

President Sun Weidong introduced that although air ducts are a small field, they are like a net, like the lungs of a city, like the capillaries of the human body, affecting our every breath. Traditional air duct materials have many pain points that cannot be solved, such as difficult to remove dirt, hidden bacterial hotbeds, high energy consumption and aging of insulation materials, difficulty in dismantling, and severe pollution of insulation materials, which have increased the burden on the earth. Therefore, in recent years, people have put forward higher requirements for the environmental protection and sustainability of air duct materials. The Italian P3 innovative aluminum foil composite air duct, which has achieved great success, solves these industry pain points and has the advantages of high efficiency, energy conservation, and green environmental protection. The application of intelligent air duct systems will bring greater space for the development of the industry.

This summit has a lot of good news and excitement. During this period, the new product exhibition hall was quite eye-catching.
