Why Use LLH Systems?
Good for business: Offers the potential to
lower first cost and/or operating cost while
enhancing comfort, IAQ, and acoustics
Environmentally responsible: Reduced utility
generated greenhouse gas emissions and
uses less natural resources
Ideal for use in health care, institutional,
governmental, office building, education, and
other markets where VAV systems are used

Basic Rule
Fan :
Velocity1 / Velocity2 = Airflow1 / Airflow2
SP1 / SP2 = (Airflow1 / Airflow2 )2
Power1 / Power2 = (Airflow1 / Airflow2 )3

Pump :
Velocity1 / Velocity2 = Flow1 / Flow2
Pressure1 / Pressure2 = (Flow1 / Flow2 )2
Power1 / Power2 = (Flow1 / Flow2 )3

SP: Static Pressure

s u s t a i n a b I l I t y
 Basic Rule

Meaning:

40% reduce in flow Power

consumption remaining:

[(0.6) X (0.6) X (0.6)] = 0.21

or reduce 80% in power consumption.

What about Condensation?
Cold surfaces must be kept inside the
humidity controlled envelope
Positive building pressure is critical for
no condensation and IAQ
Install a vapor barrier with reasonable
construction
Design the P traps and pitch the condensate
drains correctly
