Objectives • Duct Design AND Diffuser Selection
Total and static pressure drops are proportional to square of velocity Plot of pressure drop vs. volumetric flow rate (or velocity) is called system characteristic Duct Design
Non-circular Ducts • Parallel concept to wetted perimeter
Dynamic losses • Losses associated with • Changes in velocity • Obstructions • Bends • Fittings and transitions • Two methods • Equivalent length and loss coefficients
Loss Coefficients • ΔPt = CoPv,0
Example 18.7 • Determine total pressure drop from 0 to 4
Air Distribution System Design • Describe room distribution basics • Select diffusers • Supply and return duct sizing
Forced driven air flowDiffusers • Grill (side wall) • diffusers • Linear diffusers • Vertical • Horizontal one side
Diffusers types • Valve diffuser • swirl diffusers • ceiling diffuser • wall or ceiling • floor
Diffusers • Perforated ceiling diffuser • Jet nozzle diffuser • Round conical ceiling diffuser • Square conical ceiling diffuser • Wall diffuser unit • Swirl diffuser • Floor diffuser • Auditorium diffuser • Linear slot diffuser • DV diffuser • External louvre • Smoke damper • http://www.titus-hvac.com/techzone/ • http://www.halton.com/halton/cms.nsf/www/diffusers
V = maximum volumetric flow rate (m3/s, ft3/min) • Qtot = total design load (W, BTU/hr) • Qsen = sensible design load (W,BTU/hr) • ρ = air density (kg/m3, lbm/ft3) • Δt = temperature difference between supply and return air (°C, °F) • Δh = enthalpy difference between supply and return air (J/kg, BTU/lbm) Diffuser Selection Procedure • Select and locate diffusers, divide airflow amongst diffusers
Indicator of Air DistributionQuality • ADPI = air distribution performance index • Fraction of locations that meet criteria: • -3 °F < EDT < 2 °F or -1.5 °C < EDT < 1 °C • Where, EDT = effective draft temperature • Function of V and Δt (Eqn 18.1) • EDT=(tlocal-taverage)-M(Vlocal-Vaverage) , M=7 °C/(m/s) ADPI considers ONLY thermal comfort (not IAQ)
Select Register • Pick throw, volumetric flow from register catalog • Check noise, pressure drop
Summary of Diffuser Design Procedure • Find Q sensible total for the space • Select type and number of diffusers • Find V for each diffuser • Find characteristic length • Select the diffuser from the manufacturer data
