CHAPTER IV

DUCT SIZING

The function of a duct sizing is to transmit air from the air handling apparatus to the

space to be conditioned. To fulfill this function in physical manner, the system must be

designed with prescribe limits available space, frictional loss, sound level, heat and leakage

losses and gains.

Method use: Equal Friction Method

Operating pressure for all terminals = 0.15 in. wg (From HVAC, by McQuiston, 5th Ed, PP 437)

Radius elbows = R/D = 1.25

Initial Duct supply air Velocity = 1 700 fpm (From the Book of Carrier, PP 2-37, Table 7)

Initial Duct return air Velocity = 1 500 fpm (From the Book of Carrier, PP 2-37, Table 7)

TOTAL LENGTH 759.648 120

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 49 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 1 to terminal

49: 312.3 + 47 = 359.3 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1700 fpm, cfm = 22399, Fr = 0.062 (from chart 7, page 2-33

friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 359.3 ft. x (0.062 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.223 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 457.12 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 9.8 in., velocity in the last section = 920 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.096 in wg

Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain

= 0.223 + 0.15 0.096

= 0.277 in wg

TOTAL LENGTH 756.0072 288.18

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 42 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 2 to terminal

42: 211.04 + 174.18 = 385.22 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1700 fpm, cfm = 50136, Fr = 0.032 (from chart 7, page 2-33

friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 385.22 ft. x (0.032 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.1387 in wgThe total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 1193.7 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 13.7 in., velocity in the last section = 1220 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.0657 in wg

Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain= 0.1387 + 0.15 0.0657

TOTAL LENGTH 773.5552 176.66

8/8/2019 Chapter IV Ducting

11/24

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 27 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 2 to terminal

27: 109.83 + 128.66 = 238.5 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1500 fpm, cfm = 47533.5, Fr = 0.028 (from chart 7, page 2-33 friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 238.5 ft. x (0.028 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.0668 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 1760.5 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 21.3 in., velocity in the last section = 720 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.0812 in wgTherefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain

= 0.0668 + 0.15 0.0812

= 0.1356 in wg

ZONE 3

Duct Sizing for Supply Air in Zone 3:

Total number of diffuser = 79

Percent of cfm =

Duct area entering section 1:

Duct area = percent of area times initial duct area (fan at section 1)

All areas are listed in Table 3.1.1

The Duct sizes can then be determined by using Carrier handbook, PP 2-36, Table 6.

TOTAL LENGTH 1250.4672 444.02

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 79 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 3 to terminal

67: 399.64 + 276.28 = 675.92 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1700 fpm, cfm = 60838.8, Fr = 0.0325 (from chart 7, page

2-33 friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 675.92 ft. x (0.0325 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.22 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 770.11 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 11.5 in., velocity in the last section = 1110 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.0777 in wg

Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1500 fpm, cfm = 57253.8, Fr = 0.025 (from chart 7, page 2-

33 friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 276.28 ft. x (0.025 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.069 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 2120.5 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 22.6 in., velocity in the last section = 780 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.0777 in wgTherefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain

= 0.069 + 0.15 0.0777

= 0.142 in wg

TOTAL LENGTH 721.2064 137

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 45 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rateFor the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 4 to terminal

43: 260.33 + 51 = 311.33 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1700 fpm, cfm = 26131, Fr = 0.056 (from chart 7, page 2-33

friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 311.33 ft. x (0.056 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.1743 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 580.7 and equivalent circular duct

diameter = 10.7 in., velocity in the last section = 940 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.09405 in wg

Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain

= 0.1743 + 0.15 0.09405

= 0.230 in wg

TOTAL LENGTH 534.4104 130

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 18 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 4 to terminal

18: 55.03 + 73 = 128.03 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1500 fpm, cfm = 24706, Fr = 0.0435 (from chart 7, page 2-33 friction loss for round duct)

Loss = 128.03 ft. x (0.0435 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.0557 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

TOTAL LENGTH 455.0344 149.5

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 12 is:

Loss = total equivalent length x friction rate

For the total equivalent length, it appears that the longer run is from AHU 5 to terminal

12: 85.95 ft. + 73 = 158.95 ft.

Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1500 fpm, cfm = 20766.43, Fr = 0.04 (from chart 7, page 2-

Loss = 158.95 ft. x (0.04 in wg /100 ft.)

Loss = 0.0636 in wg

The total static pressure required at fan discharge is the sum of the terminal operating

pressure and the loss in the duct work. Credit can be taken for the regain between the

first and last section of the duct.

From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 1730.54 and equivalent circular

duct diameter = 19.1 in., velocity in the last section = 880 fpm.

Using 75% regain coefficient;

Regain = = 0.0692 in wg

Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= duct friction + terminal pressure regain

= 0.0636 + 0.15 0.0692

= 0.144 in wg
