Ductwork 

Zoning

 

The air handler is most commonly configured as one of 

several zones on the hydronic system.  

 

Zoning of the air handler’s air duct system can also be 

performed; that is, it can have several zones of its own.  Unlike 

with a heat pump, there is no consideration of having too small a 

zone, since there is no compressor.  However, the control sys-

tem should be set up so that airflow from the AHW / AH4P  

matches the open air ducting.  This is done with using 5 discreet 

air flow levels called for by 24VAC signals, or for –VSP models 

using a 0-10VDC signal to call for any airflow from 0 to 2500 

cfm. 

 

Refer to airflow tables in the 

Model Specific Information

 

chapter for airflows with the various input signals.  

 

Commercial/Industrial Installations

 

If a large area, for example a warehouse or greenhouse, is 

to be dehumidified or heated/cooled, the units may be ceiling-

hung and it is possible that minimal or no ductwork is specified.  

Check the jobsite plans.

 

Duct Systems - General 

 

Ductwork layout for a hydronic air handler will differ from 

traditional hot air furnace design in the number of leads and size 

of main trunks required. Air temperature leaving the air handler 

varies widely with water temperature, water flow, and air flow 

according to the performance tables later in this manual.  But it 

may be 

95º-105ºF (35-40ºC)

, much cooler than that of a 

conventional fossil fuel furnace. To compensate for this, larger 

volumes of lower temperature air must be moved and 

consequently duct sizing must be able to accommodate the 

greater airflow without creating a high static pressure or high 

velocity at the outlet diffusers.  

 

A duct system capable of supplying the required airflow is 

of utmost importance.  Maritime Geothermal Ltd. recommends 

that the external static pressure from the duct system be kept 

below 0.2 inches of water total.  In some instances the number 

of diffusers will actually double when compared to the number 

that would be used for a hot air furnace.   

 

 

1.  Generally allow 

100 cfm 

for each floor grill. 

2.  All leads to the grills should be 6'' in diameter (28 sq.in. ea). 

3.  The main hot air trunks should be at least 75% of the cross 

sectional area of leads being fed at any given point. 

4.  Return air grills should have a minimum of the same total   

     cross sectional area as the total of the supply grills.  

5.  The the cross sectional area of the return trunks should 

equal the cross sectional area of the grills being handled at 

any given point along the trunk. 

 

It is 

VERY IMPORTANT

 

that all turns in both the supply 

trunks and the return trunks be made with 

TURNING RADII

. Air 

act like a fluid and, just like water, pressure drop is increased 

when air is forced to change direction rapidly around a sharp or 

irregular corner. 

 

It is recommended that flexible collars be used to connect 

the main trunks to the air handler.  This helps prevent any vibra-

tions from travelling down the ductwork.   

Duct Systems - Grill Layout 

    

 

Most forced air heating systems in homes have the floor 

grills placed around the perimeter of the room.   Heating supply 

grills should be placed under a window when possible to help 

prevent condensation on the window.  As mentioned in the pre-

vious sub-section, supply grill leads should be 6'' in diameter (28 

square inches each) to allow 

100 cfm

 of airflow. 

 

In a typical new construction, there should be one supply 

grill for every 100 square feet of area in the room.  When rooms 

require more than one grill, they should be placed in a manner 

that promotes even distribution, such as one at each end of  the 

room.  It is always a good idea to place a damper in each grill 

supply or place adjustable grills so that any imbalances in the 

heat distribution can be corrected. 

 

The total number of supply grills available is based on the 

design airflow.  The table

 

shows the number of grills recom-

mended vs. airflow. 

Return grills should be mounted on the floor.  At minimum 

they should be the same size as the supply grill, 

it is highly 

recommended that they be 25% to 50% larger than the total 

supply.

 They should be placed opposite the supply grills when 

possible to ensure distribution across the room.  For rooms re-

quiring more than one supply grill, it may be possible to use one 

larger return grill if it can be centrally positioned opposite of the 

supply grills, however it is preferred to have one return for each 

supply to optimize heat distribution across the room. 

 

Thermostat Location 

 

Most air handlers are installed as a single ducted air zone 

with one thermostat.  The thermostat should be centrally located 

within the conditioned space.  It should be placed away from 

any supply grills, and should not be positioned directly above a 

return grill.  Most installations have the thermostat located in a 

hallway, or on the inner wall of the living room.  It should be not-

ed that most  buildings do not have any supply ducts in the hall-

way.  This can lead to a temperature lag at the thermostat if 

there is very little air movement in the hallway, causing the 

space to be warmer than indicated by the thermostat. 

 

Plenum Heater

 

The plenum heater will be usually installed inside the air 

handler, as described in the 

Installation Basics 

section.  If a 

plenum heater is installed in the discharge ductwork outside the 

air handler, it should be at least 12” away from any flexible duct 

collars.
