Custom Duct Work
Another Option that might be considered is building Insulated Custom Duct Work. Figure 6 below is an example
that may be followed to create Insulated Custom Duct Work to extend to the attic using 1/2" Plywood, 1/2" Insulation
Board and (24) Angle Brackets.
Ducting Information
When Ducting the Exhaust away from the Cooling Unit, custom Ducting will be sufficient if it follows these
recommendations:
•
Custom Ducting is insulated so that the warm exhaust air in the duct does not affect the air in the Cellar.
•
The surface area of inside the duct is greater than or equal to 51 sq. in.
•
The Duct Work follows the General Duct Recommendations on page 21.
