Contoh Duct

1. The document describes using the equal friction method to design ducts for a low velocity HVAC system serving 5400 CFM to 18 air terminals. 2. It calculates an initial duct velocity of 1700 FPM, sizes the main duct as 22"x22", and determines the friction rate. 3. Duct sizes for remaining runs are selected using tables to maintain equal friction. The longest run with the highest resistance is identified for pressure calculations.

Duct Layout for Low Velocity System

Find: 1. Initial duct velocity, area, size and friction rate in the duct section from the fan to the first branch. 2. Size of remaining duct runs. 3. Total equivalent length of duct run with highest resistance. 4. Total static pressure required at fan discharge. Solution: 1. From Table 7 select an initial velocity of 1700 fpm.

From Table 6, select a duct size-22 in.x22 in. Initial friction rate is determined from Chart 7 using the air quantity (5400), and the equivalent round duct diameter from Table 6. Equivalent round duct diameter = 24.1 in. Friction rate = .145 in. wg per 100 ft of equivalent length.

2. The duct areas are calculated using Table 13 and duct sizes are determined from Table 6. The following tabulates the design information:

CHART 7 FRECTION LOSS FOR ROUND DUCT

2. The duct areas are calculated using Table 13 and duct sizes are determined from Table 6. The following tabulates the design information: ( Duct sections B thru 12 and A thru 6 have the same dimension as the corresponding duct sections in B thru 18.)

TABLE 13 PERCENT SECTION AREA IN BRANCHES FOR MAINTAINING EQUAL FRICTION

3. It appears that the duct run from the fan to terminal 18 has the highest resistance. Tables 10 and 12 are used to determine the losses thru the fittings. The following list is a tabulation of the total equivalent length in this duct run:

4. The total friction loss in the ductwork from the fan to last terminal 18 is shown in the following:
8

Loss = total equiv length X friction rate

Total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating pressure and the loss in the ductwork. Credit can be taken for the velocity regain between the first and last sections of duct: Velocity in initial section = 1700 fpm Velocity in last section = 590 fpm Using a 75% regain coefficient,

If the fan selected has a discharge velocity of 2000 fpm, the net credit to the total static pressure required is determined as described under Fan Conversion Loss or Gain:
