Air Conditioning Contractor Tips on How to Choose the Best Ductwork?
When it comes time to choose the best duct layout, there are two considerations with regards to the routing and the size of the ductwork. A well-designed system will deliver even and constant temperatures throughout a building, reduce noise and take into account any architectural obstacles. Low-cost software is also available to help with air conditioning contractor to establish an optimal ductwork size, and take into consideration the building’s architecture and any possible obstructions. Read on to find out more information.
Round ducts are much efficient and cheaper to make; however, in some cases, obstacles or clearances will often dictate the need for rectangular ducts. To design the best layout, it is first necessary to determine the total air volume each space in the building needs. Once done, the number and type of outlets must be calculated to deliver the air volume needed.
Building design constraints will also need to be accounted for. Like limited clearance between the ceiling and the roof will often require modifications to obtain an optimal duct layout. Other factors that will influence the design are the degree of difficulty involved in installing the ductwork, and, access to filers, dampers, and system controls.
A well-designed layout is usually down to the air conditioning contractor. With many cases, it will be down to the building managers, industrial plant designers, and often the homeowners themselves, that need to modify the duct system to remove flaws and deal with changes the systems needs. These modifications are often necessary because the original design is too expensive to install due to the complex transitions or specialized fittings.
