The ultimate goal of an air distribution system is to uniformly deliver conditioned air into a room. A good diffuser setup mixes the air in the room while maintaining comfort for as many people as possible. An ineffective setup can cause drafty air, dead zones without proper mixing, or excessive noise. While most engineers understand the basics of how to select and place diffusers, we often see mistakes that could be avoided with a better understanding of air diffuser design. Selection Criteria To select diffusers for a room, an engineer first calculates the required cooling or heating load from the local environment, construction, and ventilation requirements defined by ASHRAE 62.1. This standard defines the ventilation load, which is usually 3 times less than the cooling/heating load in… Read more...
While the in-room horizontal fan coils units may be the highest volume product used in the industry due to the numbers used in hospitality, the high-capacity horizontal fan coil units are the most versatile. The span of sizes, options, and variants make these units suited for residential, office, & industrial applications. High-capacity refers to the larger sizes up to 4,000 CFM and the ability of the fans to handle 3/4" w.g. of static pressure. Both allow for more complex ductwork and air distribution than other designs. Learning how each of the components in the construction works together to deliver comfort will help select the best product for your application. 5 Consideration Variables The previous article highlighted the five variables to consider when selecting a horizontal fan… Read more...
