The equal friction method of sizing ducts is often preferred because it is quite easy to use. The method can be summarized to 1. Compute the necessary air flow volume (m /h, cfm) in every room and branch of the system 2. 3. 4. 5. Use to compute the total air volume (m /h, cfm) in the main system Determine the maximum acceptable airflow velocity in the main duct Determine the major pressure drop in the main duct Use the major pressure drop for the main duct as a constant to determine the duct sizes throughout the distribution system 6. Determine the total resistance in the duct system by multiplying the static resistance with the equivalent length of the longest run 7. Compute balancing dampers

Use the actual heat, cooling or air quality requirements for the rooms and calculate the required air volume - q.

Length
Note! Be aware that maximum load conditions almost never occurs in all of the rooms at the same time. Avoid over-sizing the main system by multiplying the accumulated volume with a factor less than one (This is probably the hard part - and for larger systems sophisticated computer-assisted indoor climate calculations are often required).

Use the air volumes calculated in for the calculation. Select the duct sizes with the pressure drop for the actual ducts as close to the main duct pressure drop as possible.

The table is based on the diagram above. Air flow and friction loss from a diagram is added. Minor pressure loss coefficients must be summarized for for the actual applications. The pressure loss in each path is summarized on the right and pressure loss is added manually in the dampers to balance the system. The excel template can be downloaded here!
