Unigulf

Asserting that an aluminium duct system is the best solution for air conditioning transportation systems with pressures up to 1.000 Pa (100 mm of water column) and dimensions of up to 2.500 mm, Unigulf has introduced its P3 Gulf pre-insulated aluminium duct system. The manufacturer claims that the P3 ductal system can be used in any application – ducts installed internally, externally, in aggressive environments or those with strict hygiene requirements. The system is not only based on pre-insulated aluminium panels but is also made of accessories, equipment and know-how customised for the construction and installation of ducts, the manufacturer adds.

Unigulf lists the following product features and advantages:
