An air valve or air outlet distribution box is a key HVAC component that distributes supply and extract air from a ventilation unit to multiple rooms while controlling airflow and reducing noise.

Function and Purpose

Air distribution boxes, also known as plenum boxes, serve as central hubs in ventilation systems. They distribute supply and extract air from the main ventilation unit through ducts to individual air valves or diffusers in different rooms. These boxes help balance airflow, reduce fan noise, and ensure efficient air circulation throughout a building.

Construction and Features

Material: Typically made of galvanized sheet metal for durability and corrosion resistance. Noise Reduction: Many models include noise-dampening structures to minimize fan noise and sound transmission between rooms. Access: Practical access doors allow for maintenance and inspection of internal components.

Outlets: Duct outlets are usually located at the ends or on top of the box, with locking devices to secure ducts. Accessories: Plugs, outlet collars, and mounts are often included, with additional accessories available as needed.

Air Valves and Diffusers

Air valves are installed at the endpoints of the distribution system to control airflow and direction. They come in various types: Rectangular or circular valves for supply and extract air, suitable for offices, schools, and residential spaces. Adjustable valves like the TFF model allow 360° airflow distribution, with deflectors to shield part of the flow.

Diffusers such as swirl or linear types optimize air mixing, penetration depth, and comfort. Materials: Valves may be made from sheet steel or recyclable polypropylene, tolerating temperatures up to 100°C. Integration with Ventilation SystemsAir distribution boxes and valves are often used in demand-controlled ventilation systems, where airflow is adjusted based on occupancy or environmental conditions.

They are compatible with plenum boxes and other air distribution products to ensure efficient, quiet, and balanced ventilation.

Summary

In essence, an air valve/air outlet distribution box is essential for distributing air efficiently, controlling airflow, reducing noise, and maintaining comfort in HVAC systems. Proper selection and installation of these components ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency in residential, commercial, or industrial buildings.
