A design procedure of ventilation systems, with air flow rates, heat and cooling loads, air
shifts according occupants, air supply principles
A ventilation system may be designed more or less according the following procedure:

If it is necessary to dehumidify the indoor air, the amount of supply air needed may be calculated as:
qmd = Qd / (x1 - x2) (4)
where
qmd = volume of air for dehumidifying (m3/s)
Qd = moisture to be dehumified (kg/s)
Example - humidifying
If added moisture Qh = 0.003 kg/s, room humidity x1 = 0.001 kg/kg and supply air humidity x2 = 0.008
kg/kg, the amount of air can expressed as:
qmh = 0.003 (kg/s) / 1.2 (kg/m3) (0.008 - 0.001) (kg/kg)
= 0.36 m3/s
Alternatively the air quantity is determined by the requirements of occupants or processes.
5. Temperature loss in ducts
The heat loss from a duct can be expressed as:
H = A k ( (t1 + t2) / (2 - tr) ) (5)
where
H = heat loss (W)
A = area of duct walls(m2)
t1 = initial temperature in duct (oC)
t2 = final temperature in duct (oC)
k = heat loss coefficient of duct walls (kW/m 2 K) (5.68 10-3 for sheet metal ducts, 2.3 10-3 for insulated
ducts)
tr = surrounding room temperature (oC)
The heat loss in the air flow can be expressed as:
H = q cp (t1 - t2) (5b)
where
q = mass of air flowing (kg/s)
cp = specific heat capacity of air (kJ/kg K)
