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 (for location of
the dot plugs see Figures 12 and 13).
2.
Insert eight-inches of 1/4 inch metal tubing into the airflow
on both sides of the indoor coil.
NOTE:
The tubes must be inserted and held in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pressure
will not affect the static pressure readings.
3.
Use an Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic to determine
the pressure drop across a dry evaporator coil. Since the
moisture on an evaporator coil can vary greatly, measuring
the pressure drop across a wet coil under field conditions
could be inaccurate. To assure a dry coil, the compressors
should be de-activated while the test is being run.
NOTE:
De-energize the compressors before taking any test
measurements to assure a dry evaporator coil.
4.
The CFM through the unit can be determined from the
pressure drop indicated by the manometer by referring to
Figure 31. In order to obtain an accurate measurement, be
certain that the air filters are clean.
5.
To adjust Measured CFM to Required CFM, see SUPPLY
AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT.
6.
After readings have been obtained, remove the tubes and
replace the dot plugs.
7.
Tighten blower pulley and motor sheave set screws after
any adjustments. Re-check set screws after 10-12 hrs. run
time is recommended.

On VAV units be certain that the VFD is set to maximum
output, exhaust dampers are closed and individual
space damper boxes are full open.
VFD units with manual bypass option must not be in the
bypass mode ('LINE" position), unless all individual
space dampers are full open.
Belt drive blower systems MUST be adjusted 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. Adjustments of the blower speed
and belt tension are REQUIRED. Verify proper sheave
alignment; tighten blower pulley and motor sheave set
screws after these adjustments. Re-checking set screws
after 10-12 hrs. run time is recommended.
