Advanced students are introduced to design and balancing terminology pertaining to this important area of the sheet metal industry. Students use mathematical formulas and computer programs to derive duct design variables such as friction loss, dynamic loss, cubic feet per minute, feet per minute, cross sectional areas, fan pulley sizes, BTUs, duct sizes and round substitutions are calculated for numerous applications.
Outcomes
- Apply mathematical formulas to calculate duct design variables
- Use the ductulator to size ducts and determine airflow characteristics for HVAC system design applications
- Use TRANE duct design software to model HVAC systems and interpret output data for duct sizing and air balancing
