HVAC Ductwork Design Guide (Layout, Duct Size & CFM)
Most HVAC units are designed to have a 400 CFM of airflow for every 12000 BTU or 1 ton of cooling capacity and 12000 BTU divided by 400 CFM is 30. So, identify the BTU needed for each room and divide it by 30 to get the required CFM for the respective room. Let’s say I have a single-storey house is equipped with a 30000 … 展开
The location of the supply and return grille determines how you will run the supply and return duct. So, draw the supply and return grille on your layout drawing. As a reminder, you need to identify the … 展开
Locate your HVAC unit and start by drawing the main duct first. Then, branch out the duct and extend it until it is close to the respective supply air diffuser. The size of the main duct is based on the total … 展开
Follow the same procedure as the supply air duct to design the return air duct. You need to install a return air plenum box behind your HVAC unit to accommodate return duct connections. However, if you are not dealing with multiple rooms, you may choose to use free return that doesn’t require any return duct. Basically, you use the space … 展开
It is better to include a fresh air supply duct to introduce outdoor air for ventilation. Typically, the fresh air is about 10% of the total airflow of the HVAC unit. So, find a suitable wall for the fresh air grille and connect a duct from the grille to the return air plenum box. If you’re using free return, a fresh air duct is not needed, just th... 展开
