2 Overview of Topics Duct design Duct insulation SMACNA Standards
3 Factors Influencing Duct Design Equipment Losses Air Velocity Duct Material Duct Size & Shape Length of Duct
4 Friction Losses SUPPLY SAG CONT 32W S.P A coil.25 sp FAN COIL OR FURN ACE R.A. BOX RETURN AIR RAG CONT G35W S.P FILTER S.P FURNACE NO SCALE
5 Air Distribution System Components Supply fan Supply Ductwork Transition fittings Discharge grills Return grills Return ductwork
6 Calculate Air System Pressure Losses The air pressure losses from both the supply and return duct systems plus the loss through external a/c coil is often referred to as the external static pressure. Manufacturers generally publish fan ratings based on external static pressure (internal losses due to coils, filters, etc. are usually accounted for in the cataloged fan ratings).
7 Air Velocity in Duct Design As Air Velocity Increases Noise Increases Increasing Air Velocity Causes More Turbulence Recommended Velocity FPM
8 Duct Material Roughness Duct material roughness refers to the inside surface of the duct material. The rougher the surface, the higher the friction loss. Most duct sizing tables use the roughness factor for smooth, galvanized sheet metal as the reference value. The back side of the Duct Calculator has a conversion table for converting the material roughness from smooth sheet metal to other materials.
9 Select Duct Material (sheet metal, fiberglass, flex) Decide which duct construction material to use. Common choices: fiberglass duct board, galvanized sheet metal, flex vinyl coated with helical wire core. Each material has advantages. First cost (price & ease of installation) Performance (friction loss, fan energy) Acoustic properties Thermal properties (heat gain & loss; internal/external insulation)

11 Fitting Influences Selection of the proper fittings is critical

14 Design Friction Rate When sizing a duct system the designer will usually choose a design friction rate. This is the desired friction loss in inches w.g. per 100 ft. of equivalent length (in. w.g./100 ft. E.L.) of duct. The design friction rate is generally determined based on the velocity of the air in the first section of ductwork. Most designers use a design friction rate somewhere between 0.08 and 0.10 in. w.g. per 100 ft. E.L.

16 Determining Friction Rate/100 ft. Equipment pressure drop Duct pressure drop Terminal device pressure drop

18 Friction Losses SUPPLY SAG CONT 32W S.P A coil.25 sp FAN COIL OR FURN ACE R.A. BOX RETURN AIR RAG CONT G35W S.P FILTER S.P FURNACE NO SCALE
19 Equal Friction Method Same friction loss per foot of ductwork Most commonly used method Accomplished by use of a Ductulator Requires less balancing Important to have balance dampers at each outlet Results in reasonable duct sizes

23 Recommended & Maximum Duct Velocity Ranges Design toward smaller end of range for quieter systems and toward larger end of range to minimize duct sizes.
24 Things to Consider Aspect ratio no more than 3:1 Residential 2 times # of 6 RD take offs plus 2 for ducts that are 8 high.5 cfm per Sq Ft No more than100 cfm per 6 RD

37 Select and Adjust Fan The total static pressure is the pressure that the fan must overcome to deliver the required amount of air. This total amount is also used to select the required fan motor size or fan speed. Perform air balance next. Per Comm Measured airflow values should be compared against the required values. Adjust fan and balancing dampers as necessary to deliver the correct amount of air to each zone.
