Design of Return Duct System for Perimeter Installations
With perimeter systems designed in accordance with the foregoing sim plified procedures, there is a circulating head of only 0.05 in. water avail able on the return side of the system. It is therefore necessary that the return ducts be adequately sized and be as short and straight as practica ble. The return grilles may be centrally located, and the ducts may be located in the attic or other unheated spaces provided they, are adequately insulated. Return air may be taken from basements and crawl spaces, but should not be taken from confined spaces in which the furnace is located.
The following simplified procedure6 may be used:
1. Lay out the return-air duct system. Measure the length and count the num ber of 90 deg turns in each return duct.
2. Total the heat loss of the area served by each return duct. 3. Determine the required duct free area from the length of duct, the number of 90 deg turns, and the heat loss using Table 7. Also determine the free area of the return grille from Table 7.
Other Perimeter Systems
Each of the foregoing procedures can be used with approved furnaces which are capable of delivering their rated cfm air volume against a total
