CHAPTER 18
. 1952 Guide
OUTLINE OF DESIGN PROCEDURE
The data underlying the design procedure are given in detail in a circular1 issued by the University of Illinois. In this procedure the design of the warm-air duct system is considered as an entire unit, sp that for a given heat loss, the sizes of leaders, stacks, boots, stackheads, and registers are all correlated. Similarly in the case of return ducts, the selection specifies a complete unit consisting of return grille, return duct, and shoe connection.
Recommended Standard Sizes
For the purpose of simplification and standardization, selected combina tions of commercial sizes of warm air pipes, return air pipes, ducts, grilles, fittings, and registers are. designated as Combination Numbers. The numbers assigned and the combinations selected as standard are listed in the following Tables 1 to 4 inclusive.*
