Hi new to the site and have a question.

I did a complete room by room manual J My trunk will be strait
one trunk line is 12 foot the other is 36 foot long should there be any
reducers as the trunk nears the end? Or somewhere in the middle?

Thanks in advance.

For the 36; long run, yes. Location depends on where the takeoffs are and what size they are.

The 12' run I think would be fine.

Reduce when ever the velocity drops too low.
Too low varies with what velocity you had at teh first piece of trunk line.

The 12' section may need to be reduced, depending on how much air, the first supplies on it take. The more air they take, the lower your velocity will be.

Ok cool that's understandable.

Tho one thing that intrigues me is a some of my rooms (example) 13 x 11 and a ceiling height of 7' 3" called out 2 5inch round ducts I would have thought it would have called for 2 6inch 2 windows in the room one on east wall and one on north. Two 5inch sound right?

Room came out to be a heat gain of 4,077.

Thanks again.

5" is queationable.

What CFM did it say.
What static pressue?
And what are you using, hard pipe or flex?

5" flex is equivelant to 4" hard pipe.

 

[Dominick]

The air handler puts out about 1200 cfm.

Calc for that room was 173 cfm

Its going to be hard pipe trying to stay away from flex.
Now the speed of air shows a recommended 900 but I thought it was supposed to be 600?

Your not going to get 173 out of 2-5" supplies too easiliy.
It will be loud.

Either needs to be 1-7" and a 5", or 2-6".

Had a feeling it was 2-6" 2-5"s just did not look right

And no matter what ill be using dampers like normal Thanks.

Do not know why I got 2 emails from you and did reply :thumbup:

Thanks

kept getting non delivery notices.


What size A/C did you select again.

According ot my charts. At your design conditions. You need a 3 ton unit, to meet the cooling load of your sensible load.
And will nee to move 1400CFM.

 

[Dominick]

I take it you got my email.
And Wow that thing was totally off?

eventually im going to install double pane windows will the 3ton be over sized then?

 

[beenthere]

The load calc program, doesn't know the sensible and latent abilities of the A/C units.

After replacing the windows. You can slow the blower down to 1200 or 1000 CFM if need be.
