    Nicely done. Gets a clear point on the basics and defines some of the reasons why the air does and doesn't do what you think. I was impressed with the motor differences. We are always in a hurry so we look at the chart dial it in as good as it can be and call it a day and actually we should be looking a little harder at the charts. I wish he would explain when you should be concerned with the readings that show larger duct issues down the line and how to read it on the monometer. Thanks for sharing.

    The HVAC videos do not discuss the increase in Electric Consumption from High Static conditions.
    Over the life of a Furnace, or Air Handler, the waste in power is Staggering, all paid for by the unsuspecting home owner.
    Ex: (At 1 amp per 0.1 inch (my furnace/AC is .2 over)=0.16KWH/hr., 1,250hrs/year, 25 Years, $.185/KWH gives
    $950 wasted, over the life of the unit.)

Outstanding I thought then charged back up R22 4 ton and find I have ,e degrees across my filter drier and would like to know if I paralleled say five filter dryers together in a manifold arrangement . Could I substitute that way compared to 500 microns for thirty minutes. Just allow the filter driers to remove moisture without the restrictions. ,?

      Yeah this is an issue I get a lot. Old systems, with no Manuel’s and it’s impossible to find them online. I guess you could traverse a duct with velocity pressure readings and calculate velocity then airflow, or even easier and quicker traversing with a hot wire anemometer, this would give you the actual CFM. Testo sells one for about 100 on Amazon, which is real cheap as far as hot wires go. You have to use your phone for the brains of it though, so it’s not really stand alone.

    I know you don't see many Gas furnace AC system out there, but I was wondering if you think those systems have undersized ductwork generally. With coil and filter pressure drop you can easily be at 0.5 static. I listened to your podcast with Jack Rise and it was really eye opening.

    • @erickaiser501
      @erickaiser501 3 года назад +3

      Most systems in general have either undersized ductwork for the equipment, or oversized equipment for the space.
      The combination of both makes for a lot of issues.

      @@erickaiser501 that's the way my system is recently had my condenser and air handler changed out to a 5 ton because I was on an undersized 4-ton system since I'm in a manufactured home the manufacturer says my duct system is rated for 55,000 they installed a 5 ton 2 stage American Standard condenser with a variable speed blower my pressure is in my vents went from .5 to almost 0.8. they had to add a new return above my air handler to lower my pressures to a total of around .87 to keep the thing from sounding like a jet engine every time it ramped up to that 5 tons. They wanted to redo my entire duct system but wanted nearly $18,000 to do so which was more than what my air handler and condenser cost combined. Long story short the thing rarely kicks up to five tons so the cost wasn't worth it to me.

    Sir,
    I have one query, When designing the HVAC supply duct system, After calculation of ASP from the manufacturer blower data (ESP- Device pressure losses). That ASP will become the pressure drop budget for the duct system.
    Now if we are designing the duct system with equal friction method based on FR calculated...and carrying out CFD analysis of designed duct, the solver fetches static pressure and total pressure data w.r.t our design.
    Now w.r.t previously calculated ASP which is our pressure drop budget, say some 0.4 inches of water gauge.
    Now inorder to check whether duct design is within the limits as per ASP in CFD analysis tools.
    which pressure drop should I need to consider ( it's a total pressure in the volume of air or it's difference in Total pressure at inlet to outlets, or it's a max static pressure developed in the air volume inside duct)
    kindly clarify

  • @richardg2904
    @richardg2904 Год назад

    Great explanation on the effect of the filter! A couple of questions. If the furnace (or air handler) is configured with two media filter units (not stacked), then I assume that each filter contributes to the total resistance. For example, two identical filters would effectively double the resistance (assuming the same air flow), Is that correct? This raises another question. How would the configuration of the plenum and return ductwork affect the air flow into the two filters. For example, if all the return air comes through one shared plenum that splits (i.e. a “Y”) just before the filters, would the air flow into each filter be halved, also reducing the resistance of each filter? For a more complex example, what would be the effect of configuring each filter unit with its own return plenum and return ducts - essentially two different return ducts sharing a blower? Seems like that has the potential for creating imbalance in the return air flow.

  • @baivabmitra376
    @baivabmitra376 2 года назад

    What I did not get is this: Assume ESP comes out to be .64. Then the install doc. blower speed charts show (for example) for .64 one can have 950, 1050, 1150 (max) CFMs by toggling some switches on the board. We're talking of c/torque 1/2 HP blower. Thus - the question which I presume got answered is which CFM then is correct? 950 or 1050 or 1150. What I have seen is most HVAC guys set it to max and forget it. (We are discussing AC cooling here).
    What I understood or was told was this: Once you have a rather unacceptable ESP (.64) and you prefer to keep it at .5 and lower then change the blower speed. Once done, the ESP will also change, as a result. Do that iteratively across the values till you arrive at the lowest ESP. Let's say for that the blower was set to 1050 and the ESP dropped to .55. BUT, therein lies a bigger problem. By dropping the CFM the air coil will get colder now (less air). If it's a TXV then there's a possibility of a freeze. That's why he is recommending doing the ESP BEFORE setting the charge. But 99% no one does that, before. An HVAC guy told me, at this point if the air coil temp is 25 to 30 F less than return temp, you're good. Not sure how true is that.

    I have know for years that my upstair unit was oversized due to high moisture level, noisy duct and cold/hot spot throughout the upstairs. After measuring TESP, on return side reading shows 0.3wc and 0.6wc on supply side. Assuming that all of the flex ducts are intact, I wanted to theorize that I will need to add more supply duct in order for me to reduce static pressure on supply side. Technician suggested adding 2x6" supply runs to solve the problem but after watching your video I noticed that you've mentioned that by reducing static pressure on the supply side, we are now able to move more air trough the system which will now cause the static pressure on the return side also to rise. Without knowing how much the static pressure will now rise on the return side, should I go down this route to fix the problem that I'm currently experiencing or just have a new proper sized upstairs unit? (my current CARRIER unit is 15 yrs old but never gave me any problem during the past 6 yrs that we owned the house0

      You must start somewhere, and he said it should be with the side having the highest pressure. Then run your test, again. It's a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle. Keep plugging away at it until you are happy with your static pressure readings. Cheers.
