Central air conditioner is a complex system, which is as effective as the air ducts that deliver conditioned air. To experience all benefits of your air conditioning and heating system, the ductwork must calculated and installed by experts. Attic air duct system services second floor rooms through ceiling registers. Basement ductwork runs under floors on the way to first floor rooms through floors. In addition, same central air distribution system is utilized by the furnace to deliver hot air in winter, and cool conditioned air during Summer months in Philadelphia.
Air distribution system in buildings is called “air ducts” used to heat and cool rooms is a network of tubes that distribute heated or cooled air to different areas. This branching network of round or rectangular air ducts is constructed of sheet metal, fiberglass board, or flexible composite located behind building walls. Next, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment in heating or cooling down indoor air. Next, air duct system serves as distributor to supply rooms with conditioned air. And then, return brings the same volume of air back to HVAC system.
Usually, air-duct systems lose 25 to 40% of the heating or cooling energy put out by the cooling and heating unit. Leaky ducts are a very common reason why conditioned air escapes from the duct system, instead of blowing out from supply registers. Further, HVAC system works harder, and goes through longer cycles. End-user will experience an increasing energy bill. In addition, duct leakage can lessen comfort and endanger your health and safety.
Your duct system has two main air-transfer systems—supply and return. First, she supply side delivers the conditioned air to your home through individual room registers which what you feel blowing out of threw your heating vents. Second, the return side withdraws inside air and delivers it to the air handler of your central system. Finally, all of the air drawn into the return duct(s) is conditioned and delivered back to the heating registers.
Mechanical engineer must adequately design air distribution system, choose layout and locations of the ducts. And then, calculate required materials, determine air duct system sizes, locate areas and levels of insulation. Further, designer selects s the sizes of supply and return air registers. Moreover, proper installation of air ducts means thinking through all of the critical air conditioning and distribution elements:
• Integrity mechanically: the system will stay as designed and built for the life of conditioned space, without leaks, obstructions, or insulation wear.
• Adequate insulation: conditioned air does not loose target temperature through unconditioned spaces.
• No leaks: air handler moves and delivers all conditioned air to spaces and rooms.
