Abstract
An air dispersion system is provided for conveying and distributing a source of forced air to a room, building, or other enclosure. The air dispersion system includes a fabric tube having a proximal end coupled to the source of forced air, a distal end opposite the proximal end, at least one vent formed in the tube, and an air dispersing panel covering each vent. The tube is constructed of an air-porous (i.e., air-permeable) fabric material which allows air from the source of forced air to leak therethrough. The panels, in turn, are constructed of a material having a different relative porosity than that of the tube which causes the air flow dispersion (or leakage) rate through each panel to be different from the air flow dispersion (or leakage) rate through the tube.
