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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1700/4000 )−( 920/ 4000 ) ] = 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

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 14 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
9: 86.3 + 64 = 150.3 ft.
Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1500 fpm, cfm = 21049, Fr = 0.047 (from chart 7, page 2-33

Loss = 150.3 ft. x (0.047 in wg /100 ft.)
 Loss = 0.0706 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 1503.5 and equivalent circular

Using 75% regain coefficient;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1500/4000 )−( 920/ 4000 ) ] = 0.0658 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

= 00706 + 0.15 – 0.0658
= 0.15 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 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 1193.7 and equivalent circular
duct diameter = 13.7 in., velocity in the last section = 1220 fpm.
Using 75% regain coefficient;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1700/4000 )−( 1220/4000 ) ] = 0.0657 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;
= duct friction + terminal pressure – regain
= 0.1387 + 0.15 – 0.0657
= 0.223 in wg

TOTAL LENGTH 2 6

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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1500/4000 )−( 720/4000 ) ] = 0.0812 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;
= duct friction + terminal pressure – regain
= 0.0668 + 0.15 – 0.0812
= 0.1356 in wg

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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1700/4000 )−( 1110/4000 ) ] = 0.0777 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;
= duct friction + terminal pressure – regain
= 0.22 + 0.15 – 0.0777
= 02923 in wg

TOTAL LENGTH 6 139.1

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 3 to terminal
27: 166.22 + 110.06 = 276.28 ft.
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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1500/4000 )−( 780/4000 ) ] = 0.0777 in wg
Therefore, 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 rate
For 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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1700/4000 )−( 940/ 4000 ) ] = 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 4 130

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.
From chart 7, p. 2-33 of Carrier Handbook with cfm of 1372.56 and equivalent circular
duct diameter = 18.2 in., velocity in the last section = 720 fpm.
Using 75% regain coefficient;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1500/4000 )−( 720/4000 ) ] = 0.0812 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;
= duct friction + terminal pressure – regain
= 0.0557 + 0.15 – 0.0812
= 0.1245 in wg

The total friction loss in the duct work from fan to last terminal 25 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
25: 28.5 ft.
Friction rate: using Vsupply = 1700 fpm, cfm = 21216.3, Fr = 0.064 (from chart 7, page 2-
33 friction loss for round duct)
Loss = 28.5 ft. x (0.064 in wg /100 ft.)
Loss = 0.01824 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 848.66 and equivalent circular

Using 75% regain coefficient;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1700/4000 )−( 1000/4000 ) ] = 0.0886 in wg
Therefore, the total static pressure at fan discharge is;

TOTAL LENGTH 4 149.5

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-
33 friction loss for round duct)
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;
2
Regain = 0.75 [ ( 1500/4000 )−( 880/4000 ) ] = 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
