MIL-PRF-32107

KE Fibertec has developed a fabric duct air distribution solution that meets the requirements in the MIL-PRF-32107 specification.

The concept as specified in MIL-PRF-32107 was created in 2000 following an inquiry from NAVSEA in Philadelphia. They needed a system that was flexible, lightweight and fire resistant and thus a good alternative to heavy sheet metal/grills and diffusors on the ships.

The use of fabric ducts offer many advantages.

For the shipowner they are:

Low weight compared to sheet metal systems. Resource comparisons show 70% to 80% savings on weight
A lighter and faster ship meaning lower fuel consumption
Energy savings through lower system operating pressure

For the engineer they are:

Tried and tested concept
Flexible layout with lego system (zippered sections)
Full MIL-SPEC available by NAVSEA
Catalogue with layout advise available
Easy to install

For the sailor they are:

Flame retardent material (Nomex)
Draft-free air distribution
Condensation free system
Launderable (keeping the system, and thereby the air supply, clean)
Noise-reducing (soft material)
