What are the Differences of Square and Circular Canal System?
The following question may come to your mind when you equip your building with a Ventilation (HVAC) System; “What are the Differences of Square and Circular Canal System?
, I wonder which air duct system should I choose?” Or like that, what are the differences of Square and Circular Channel System? You may have wondered about the question.
Namely; Air ducts are manufactured in different sizes, shapes and materials. Why are so many different types of ducts manufactured? Because each type of air duct has different functions and features, their production is also different. Therefore, maybe you are confused and a little overwhelmed.
However, our Ventilation / Hvac experts have all the expertise and skills to help you equip your building with the most suitable air ducts. Thus, it will ensure that you have the most appropriate solutions for your real needs, with the most accurate determinations and analyzes for your building.
Actually, what are the differences between Circular Air ducts and Square Air Ducts? And which choice is correct? Thus, we can find the answer to this question by examining the features and functions of these air ducts.
► Circular Channel System

Advantages of Circular Air Ducts
It is the much more commonly used channel type. Round ducts have many advantages, such as increased airflow, quick installation and lower costs. If you are trying to create a quiet, attractive workspace for your employees and customers, then the circular duct is definitely the choice.
- More Aesthetic Appearance.
- Reduces Air Leaks.
- Less Friction.
- More Efficient Airflow.
- Better for Medium to High
- Pressure Systems.
- Installation Easier and Less Cost.
- Less Noise Pollution.
Disadvantages of Circular Channels
Circular air duct is not suitable in some cases. The reason is Circular ducts take up more height than rectangular or square ducts. It therefore means that Circular ventilation ducts will not fit in tight spaces. So it means it’s technically less efficient in terms of maximizing airflow.
- Takes More Space (Higher).
- Not Efficient for Low Pressure Systems.
- Difficult to Connect Fancoil to Main Channel.
► Square Channel System

Advantages of Square Air Ducts
In which situations should the Square Channel system be used? As mentioned earlier, square ducts are necessary when you have a narrow space that will not allow the height of circular ducts. These rectangular or square air ducts also solve the unsightly connection problem between the fan coil and the main duct.
- It occupies less height, so it saves space in spaces.
- Easily connects the fan coil to the main duct.
- Better for low pressure systems.
- It may be more suitable for use in spaces and structures such as warehouses, lofts and bars.
Disadvantages of Square Channel System
*They allow more noise out of the duct, which can cause many problems if you are trying to create a safe and quiet working environment.
*Rectangular-Square HVAC Air Ducts Are More Costly To Install Initially.
