What is a Plenum Box
A plenum is a distribution box that is fastened to the air handling unit’s supply outlet and frequently return inlet. Additionally, plenum boxes are used to transfer warm or cooled air to many rooms. In addition, it serves to equalize the air and reduce noise produced by duct air movement.
Determine Airflow Requirements:
Finding out how much airflow the room needs is the first step. Usually, this is expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM). This information can be computed based on the size and use of the area, or it can be obtained from HVAC system specs.
