This is a preliminary estimate of tbe number of diffusers needed.
4. Measure the length and count the number of elbows in each feeder duet. Determine Btuh capacity of each feeder duct from Table 4. Use Table 4 (Section A) for side-wall and floor diffusers and Table 4 (Section B) for baseboard diffusers.
5. If the total Btuh capacity of all feeders to each room or area equals or exceeds the heat loss of that room or area, the number of feeders initially chosen is satisfactory. If the heat loss exceeds the Btuh capacity of the feeders, use and locate additional diffusers and feeder-ducts.
6. Tbe cfm values in Table 4 are used for designing the return-duct system.
Perimeter-Radial System m Crawl Space or Base ment Construction
The perimeter concept of warm air heating has been ap plied to crawl-space and basement homes by locating the diffusers in the perimeter location and by warming the area underneath the floor of such structures. Although the con struction of the crawl space and the foundation wall is the responsibility of the architect and the general contractor, it is important that the engineer check the construction to make certain that it will not adversely affect the perform ance of the heating system. Details on crawl-epace con struction are shown in Manual 4 of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association* Tbe crawl space or basement should be heated to provide warm floors.
A simplified design procedure* for an individual duct sys tem is summarized as follows:
1. Calculate the heat loss of each room or area using the explained in Chapter 25 of the 1961 Guide And Data
Boos. Consider tbe basement or crawl space as a part of the structure and calculate its beat loss. Information in Manual Jl# supplements th-t contained in Chapter 25, particularly with respect to crawl-space heat losses.
2. Determine the required furnace-bonnet capacity from the heat loss of the building.
3. Locate the diffusers on the plan. Allow at least one dif
fuser for each exposed wall in each room or area of building, and locate them preferably beneath window areas. For resi dential installations limit each diffuser to a maximum of 7/300 Btuh.
4. Determine the required Btuh delivery of each diffuser. Where more than one diffuser is used per room, proportion the heat lorn equally among all diffusers.
5. Measure length and count number of elbowa in each dud. From Table 5, determine the duct size (5 or 6-in. diameter) needed. Section A is for 5-in. duct. Section B is for 6-in. dud using side-wall or floor diffusers, and Section C is for 6-in. dud using baseboard diffusers.
Perimeter Extended-Plenum Systems in Crawl-
Space or Basement Construction
The considerations involved in the design of extendedplenum systems are esentially the same as those of the in dividual pipe system. A amplified design procedure is sum
marized as follows:
1. Calculate the heat loss of each room or area using the method explained in Chapter 25 of the 1961 Guide And Data Book. Consider the basement or crawl space as a part of tbe structure and calculate its heat loss. Information in Manual Jta supplements that contained in Chapter 25, particularly with respect to crawl-space heat losses.
2. Determine the required furnace-bonnet capacity from the heat loss of the building.
3. Locate the diffusers on the plan. Allow at least one dif fuser for each exposed wall in each room or area of building, and preferably beneath window areas. For residential installa tions limit each'diffuser to a maximum of 7,000 Btuh.
4. Determine the required. Btuh delivery of each diffuser. Where more than one diffuser ta used per room, proportion the heat loss equally among all diffusers.
5. Measure the length of each duct and count number of elbows from the extended plenum to the diffuser. Note whether top or side plenum take-offs are to be used. From Table 6. determine the duct size needed. (Note: Use that section of Table 6, Sections A to F, which applies both to the type of plenum take-off and diffuser to be used.)
6. The cfm values in Table 6 are used with Table 7 for

design of Return Duct System for Perimeter In
stallations With perimeter systems designed in accordance with the foregoing simplified procedures, there is a circulating head
of only 0.05 in. water available on the return ride C^the system. It is therefore necessary that the return ducts be adequately sized and be as short and straight as practicable. The return grilles may be centrally located, and the ducts may be located in the attic or other unheated spaces pro vided they are adequately insulated. Return air may be
