Calculate HVAC duct size based on air flow rate and velocity
HVAC duct sizing is crucial for efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Proper sizing ensures optimal airflow, reduces energy consumption, and prevents system failures. The duct size calculator helps determine the appropriate duct diameter based on airflow requirements and velocity.
The calculation involves understanding various factors including the desired airflow rate, the velocity of air within the duct, and the duct's material roughness. The roughness coefficient affects airflow due to friction losses. This calculator simplifies the process by providing an easy-to-use interface for these calculations.
For more detailed information on HVAC duct sizing and the physics behind airflow in ducts, refer to resources like the Wikipedia page on duct flow and guidelines from the EPA on indoor air quality.
| Pipe Diameter (mm) | Flow Velocity (m/s) | Flow Rate (L/s) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 15.71 |
| 150 | 3 | 53.01 |
