of Table 9 or Table 10 refers to an 8-in. trunk duct.
Where two branches form a trunk the longer branch is considered to be the trunk and its equivalent width (for 8-in.
depth) is increased as required.
DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR LARGE SYSTEMS'
for buildings having a heat loss in excess of 120,000 Btu
per hour, the design procedure given in Manual 9 of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Associa
tion, may be used. Work sheets 9a, 9b, and 9c are available
to simplify calculations.'- The procedure consists of:
1. Calculation of design heat losses from individual spaces in the structure. The calculation of these losses is explained in Chapter 12.
2. Location of registers and return intakes on floor plan, shoeing types of registers, with distance from register to op posite wall and deflection of registers desired.
3. 'Laying out a proposed duct system for both warm air and return air sides of the system, and including details of types of fittings and the actual and equivalent lengths of each branch line from bonnet to register, without sixes. (See Fig. 7, Groups 1 through 6, for equivalent length of fittings.)
4. 'Determination of bonnet temperature. If the rating sheet for a furnace-blower unit specifies a fixed value of bonnet temperature, find this temperature in the
left-hand column of Table 11. If not specified, use the following procedure: Use Table 11 for buildings having a heat loss be tween 120,000 and 350,000 Btu per hr, or Table 12 for buildings having a heat loss greater than 350,000 Btu per hr. Select short est actual length, including vertical risers and read downward in nearest column in Tables 11 or 12 until lower heavy diagonal line is reached, but do not cross line. Run borixontally to first column of table and note bonnet temperature. Also select long est actual length including vertical risers, and read downward in nearest column in Tables 11 or 12 until upper heavy diagonal line is just crossed. Run horizontally to left to obtain value for bonnet temperature in first column. Select as the design bonnet temperature any value between these two limits.
5. Determination of air volume to be delivered through each reester and the respective register air temperatures.
Using Tables 11 or 12 and the design bonnet temperature selected, find the values of cfm per 1000 Btu for each* duct length, and the corresponding register temperature.
6. Selection of register sixes and pressure losses to produce necessary throw, for the air volumes handled.
Use Tables 13 or 14 to obtain required free area and pressure loss of register. Tables 15 and 16 are used in sizing the duct system.
7. Design of duet system.
A. Warm air branches. a. Use Table 16 to select maximum bonnet pressure usually required for the trunk carrying the maxi mum volume of air (cfm). If the maximum bonnet pressure is not high enough to accommodate the ressure loss through the registers, use a higher onnet pressure. If tne register pressure is critically large, it may be necessary to reduce it by either using two registers in place of one, or using smaller deflection angles. b. Obtain actual duct loss by subtracting total register
fressure loss, as determined from Tables 13 or 14, rom maximum bonnet pressure, c. Obtain the pressure drop in each duct per 100 ft by use of Table 15. ' d. Determine duct sise by means of air friction chart ' (such as Fig. 2, or Fig. 3, Chapter 21), volume (cfm),
and pressure drop per 100 ft of duct.
B. Return air branches. (Continued on p. 253.)
