Slide 5 - Duct Layout

The Duct Layout slide features three main configurations: Trunk and Branch for distribution, Radial System from a central plenum, and Perimeter Loop for large-building efficiency. It also emphasizes benefits like low pressure loss and even air distribution to all zones.

Slide 6 - Duct Sizing

The Duct Sizing slide warns that undersized ducts cause noise and pressure loss, while oversized ducts lead to waste and uneven flow. It outlines three sizing methods: Equal Friction, Static Regain, and Velocity Reduction.

Duct Sizing

Undersized ducts: noise, pressure loss
Oversized ducts: waste, uneven flow
Equal Friction method
Static Regain method
Velocity Reduction method

Slide 8 - Fans and Blowers

Fans and blowers supply pressure to propel conditioned air through ducts in HVAC systems, ensuring even distribution, comfort, and energy efficiency. Key types include axial fans (high volume, low pressure, parallel airflow), centrifugal fans (high pressure, perpendicular airflow), and industrial blowers for high-pressure applications.

Fans and Blowers

Role in Air Distribution	Types and Characteristics
Fans and blowers provide the necessary pressure to propel conditioned air through ducts, ensuring even distribution, comfort, and energy efficiency in HVAC systems.	Axial Fans: High volume, low pressure, parallel airflow. Centrifugal Fans: High pressure, perpendicular airflow. Blowers: Industrial-grade for high-pressure applications.

Speaker Notes

Fans and blowers are the heart of the system. Choosing the right type ensures that air moves efficiently through long ducts or large spaces.
