The application of particle foams (mainly Expanded polypropylene (EPP)) in HVAC systems is driven by its unique properties, such as lightweight, thermal insulation, shock absorption, and resistance to chemicals and moisture.

Here are some specific applications of expanded polypropylene in HVAC:

• Insulation: EPP is used to insulate HVAC ductwork, helping to maintain the desired temperature of the air as it travels through the system. This reduces energy loss and improves overall efficiency.

• Noise Reduction: Sound Insulation: EPP’s sound-absorbing properties make it ideal for reducing noise levels in HVAC systems. It can be used in duct liners and around equipment to minimize operational noise, contributing to a quieter indoor environment.

• Vibration Dampening: EPP can be used to dampen vibrations caused by moving parts, thereby extending the lifespan of the equipment and improving operational stability.

• Energy Efficiency: Airflow Optimization: EPP components can be designed to optimize airflow within HVAC systems. This includes the use of molded EPP parts in fan housings, air handlers, and other components to streamline air movement and reduce energy consumption.

• Durability: EPP’s long service life reduces the need for frequent replacements, thereby lowering the overall environmental impact associated with HVAC system maintenance and part replacement.

By leveraging these properties, expanded polypropylene enhances the performance, efficiency, and
longevity of HVAC systems, making it a valuable material in this field.
