Johnson Controls Ducted Systems
Air balance
Start the supply air blower motor. Adjust the resistances in both
the supply and the return air duct systems to balance the air
distribution throughout the conditioned space. The job
specifications may require that this balancing be done by
someone other than the equipment installer.
Checking air quantity
Method one
1.
Remove the dot plugs from the duct panel.
2.
Insert eight-inches of 1/4 inch metal tubing into the airflow
on both sides of the indoor coil.
Note:
You must insert the tubes and hold them in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pressure
does not affect the static pressure readings.
3.
Use an inclined manometer or Magnehelic® to determine
the pressure drop across a dry evaporator coil. The
moisture on an evaporator coil can vary greatly, measuring
the pressure drop across a wet coil under field conditions
could be inaccurate. To ensure that the coil is dry, de-
activate the compressors de-activated while the test is
being run.
Note:
De-energize the compressors before you take any test
measurements to ensure that the evaporator coil is dry.
4.
Use the pressure drop indicated by the manometer and the
graph in Figure 28 to determine the unit CFM. In order to
obtain an accurate measurement, verify that the air filters
are clean.
5.
To adjust measured CFM to required CFM, see
6.
After you note the readings, remove the tubes and replace
the dot plugs.
7.
Tighten the blower pulley and motor sheave set screws
after any adjustments. Re-check the set screws after 10-12
hours run time.
Method two
1.
Drill two 5/16 inch holes, one in the return air duct as close
to the inlet of the unit as possible, and another in the supply
air duct as close to the outlet of the unit as possible.
2.
Using the hole drilled in step 1, insert eight inches of 1/4
inch metal tubing into the airflow of the return and supply
air ducts of the unit.
Note:
You must insert the tubes and hold them in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pressure
does not affect the static pressure readings.

You must adjust the belt drive blower systems to the
specific static and CFM requirements for the application.
The belt drive blowers are not set at the factory for any
specific static or CFM. You must adjust the blower speed
and belt tension.
Verify proper sheave alignment. Tighten the blower
pulley and motor sheave set screws after these
adjustments. Re-check the set screws after 10-12 hours
of run time.
Failure to properly adjust the total system air quantity
can result in extensive blower damage.
