Ducting
Flexiduct ducting is recommended for use with all Air Change systems. See image below.
Ducts should be insulated in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1.
Fan inlet conditions can affect the fan performance, particularly ducting elbows which can cause
non
‐
uniform inlet flow and swirl at the inlet. To reduce losses due to fan system effect, adequate
length of straight duct between elbow and fan inlet should be provided or turning vanes used in the
elbow.
Poor fan outlet conditions can affect the fan performance, particularly the effective duct length. For
100% recovery, the duct must meet requirements for 100% effective duct length.
Ducts should be sized to accommodate a maximum airflow velocity of no greater than 6 m/s
through the duct.
