for QT Kitchens in Georgia, the owner
halted the project because ductwork in a
s
­ imilar food processing facility was sweating
and dripping moisture. To avoid the same

­ roblems, new airtight and waterproof
ductwork was requested.
THE SOLUTION
To maintain a 40°F temperature, 28°F air
delivery is required. To address the low temperature air and eliminate sweating, double
wall ductwork was specified. The interior
wall was comprised of 304L stainless steel
to prevent deterioration from moisture and
galvanized steel was used for the exterior

wall. The team left a 2-inch gap between
the layers and filled it with freshly poured
polyurethane foam insulation that expanded
to fill the space. The system was assembled
on site and lifted into place.
THE RESULTS
The ductwork is airtight and waterproof.
It has worked flawlessly, and the owner
has experienced no issues with the
revamped system.
