Finding the number of diffusers, from HVAC Design and Analysis by

Mcquiston 6th Edition, Chapter 11, Air Distribution System Design, page 379:

(x )( )( )
min 60 s 3.28 ft

Number of diffusers=107.81∨110 diffusers

Safety factor of 10 %=x (1.1 )=121 diffusers

To determine the number of AHU to be used:

Total Volume of Supply Air Requirement

No .of AHU =
Air Flow Capacity of AHU

m3 3,600 s

No .of AHU =

No .of AHU =2.48∨x AHU

To determine the number of diffusers to be used in each AHU:

diffusers No. of Diffusers

No .of =
AHU No. of AHU

diffusers 121 diffusers

No .of =
AHU 3 AHU

For finding the actual flowrate of each diffusers on each AHU:

Selection muna ikaw sa pdf mcquisto isesend ko pdf

Diba may Vs ka, hanap ka ng capacity ng diffuser mo dun sa page na nakalagay, tip ko

malaking size gamitin mo since Malaki capacity mo

Tas sa napili mo may makikita ka cfm yun ang ididivide mo sa naunang equation tas

malalaman mo kung ilang diffuser ka

Sa no. of ahu, diba may nahanap ka na AHU, yung VS mo idivide mo sa airflow

capacity ng ahu mo based dun sa brochure malalaman mo kung ilan ahu gagamitin mo

Then pag nalaman mon a kung ilan ahu ka for ex: 3 ahu ka, idivide mo ngayon yung

capacity ng nasolve mo sa evap ( yung may formula na qahu + qahu times leakage)

para bumaba yung capacity at makahanap ka ng mas madali.
