Introduction

An air system is any assembly of ducts, filters, conditioning devices, dampers, louvers, fans, etc., the main purpose of which is to move air from one place to another in a controlled fashion. Most air systems draw air from one space and discharge it into another.

Air systems are often required to operate satisfactorily in a wide range of environmental conditions. The conditions which will be encountered must be considered in the design of the ducts, pipes, etc., which will contain the airflow and constitute the boundary of the system.
