Duct Design and Sizing
Duct Design and Sizing Proper duct design and sizing are crucial for efficient HVAC system performance, ensuring: 1. Adequate airflow 2. Minimal pressure drops 3. Reduced energy consumption 4. Improved indoor air quality Key Considerations 1. Duct material and insulation 2. Duct layout and routing 3. Fittings and connections 4. Sizing calculations (e.g., friction rate, velocity) Design Tools 1. Duct sizing calculators 2. HVAC design software (e.g., Autodesk, Carrier) 3. ASHRAE guidelines and standards
