HVAC Ducting and Piping Design Guide

The document provides steps to determine the number of diffusers, air handling units (AHU), and diffusers per AHU needed for an HVAC system layout based on the total supply air requirement. It shows calculations for finding 107 diffusers would be needed but rounding up to 121 diffusers with a 10% safety factor. The total supply air requirement is then divided by the air flow capacity of potential AHUs to find 2.48 AHUs are needed, rounding up to 3 AHUs. The 121 diffusers are then divided equally among the 3 AHUs, giving 40 diffusers per AHU. The flowrate of each diffuser is then calculated based on the supply air requirement and number of diffusers and AHUs.

CHAPTER IV

DUCTING AND PIPING DESIGN LAYOUT

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

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

m3
Total Volume of Supply Air Requirement=x
s

m3
x
s
Number of diffusers= 3
ft 1 min 1m 3
(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
(x )( )
s 1 hr
No .of AHU =
m3
x
hr

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

diffusers
No .of =40.3∨40 diffusers per AHU
AHU

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


m3
x
s m3
=x per AHU
x AHU s

m3

s m3
=x Diffusers per AHU
x Diffusers per AHU s

Capacity of Diffuser based on selection=785 ∨0.37076

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.
