4.3. Bypass Calculation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: APEN GROUP can supply on request a programme able to automatically calculate the flow rate and the
size of the bypass required for the different types of installation
.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bypass flow rate calculation can be performed by following the instructions below. As an example, the calculation procedure
shown assumes that a PCH heater has been applied.
A. By using a default pressure drop (for example about 120 Pa) [P
PCH
] through the PCH section, find out the PCH flow rate [Q
PCH
]
going through the PCH by using the AIR FLOW RATES-PRESSURE DROPS diagram;
B. From the FLOW RATE-SPEED
diagram, find out, by entering the current flow rate [Q
PCH
], the air flow through the PCH section
[V
PCH
];
C. Calculate the bypass air flow rate [Q
BYPASS
] by subtracting from the air handling or roof-top unit [Q
TOT
] the total air flow rate
going through the PCH [Q

D. Calculate the speed of the air going through the bypass section [V

] using the dynamic pressure formula, considering the
air density [ρ

] as a constant equal to 1.2 kg/m
