Summary of Air Distribution Systems Select diffuser based on ADPI Given a layout of duct system Calculate total pressure drop Deal with non-circular ducts and fitting losses Select the fan based on fan and duct curve
Hydronic Terms Head loss Open-loop vs. closed loop
Head Loss
Fittings
Pumps Driving force to move air water in buildings Raise pressure and produce flow One main type Centrifugal
Pump curves NPSHR = Net Positive Suction Head Required
