This calculation program on Excel makes it possible to dimension and carry out the calculation of the
Synthesis,
pressure losses on the ductworks and air distribution systems.

Library AeroDuct can be distributed with calculation in English system (e.g., ounces, pounds, inches, and feet)
Help and common units in the metric system (e.g., grams, kilograms, meters, and centimeters). .
PsychroSI
Psychrometric It applies in all types of duct and holds account particularly on the operating conditions and specific
calculation
Characteristics on the ductworks, such as:
Swimming pool
Mixed air
calculation The temperature of the air conveyed
AeroDuct
The level of altitude or is located the installation
Duct sizing
The nature of the various types of materials used (steel ductwork, copper, PVC, built walls, etc)
Pressure loss
The geometrical shapes of ductworks (circular, quadrangular, oblong)
coefficients The various types of pressure loss coefficients

Functions The working file can be made up of various computation sheets. You can from the same file, to insert a
AeroGaz new computation sheet or to duplicate the computation sheet in progress for the study of a similar

For each sheet of the table of calculation, the presentation is done, such as:
In basic display:
The hygienic airflow or smoke extract systems are indicated generally in the standards on a air mass of
reference of 0.0746 lb/ft^3 (1,200 kg/m3) - (equivalent to: 68°F (20°C) - 40%)
The real speed of the airflow in the ductwork is carried out from the corrected airflow.
A displaying in yellow of the cell concerned indicates speeds of air higher than the quiet values
recommended in the installations at low pressure.
The assemblies are often badly carried out, blocking partially the passage of the fluid.
An estimated dusty ductwork can be considered.
With the ageing of the ductwork, a possible corrosion can increase the pressure losses by
friction.
Installations "high pressure" (speeds of air > to 2000 ft/min - 10 m/s) - Ejector-convectors,
Variable Air Volume Systems (VAV) or variable Induction units, etc.
m/s) m/s)
It is recommended to leave in the main ducts at a speed of 3940 to 4300 ft/min (20 to 22m/s).
The main and secondary ducts are generally calculated on a basis of 0.0034 In.wg (0.85 Pa).
The boxes are selected on the basis of acceptable noise level when the pressure at the entry of
the boxes is of 3 In.wg (750 Pa).
The reduction speed can cause a renewal speed.
The circuit of the cold air ducts is calculated for 100% of the necessary flow.
On the other hand, for the hot air ducts, one admits 50% to 75% of the cold air flow according to
thermal loads.
The variation between the temperature of the buildings in summer and the air in the cold air duct
is 50 to 55.5 °F (10 to 13°C).
In summer, the temperature of the hot air in the duct is maintained at least with +5.4°F (+ 3°C)
above the average temperature of the air outlet.
The air velocity in the ducts cannot exceed a certain value. It results a minimal section of ducts below
from which it is misadvised going down for following reasons:
Increase the noise of rustle of the air in the strait ducts and especially on the level of the
deviations.
Increase the pressure losses and the energy consumed by the ventilator.
Example: a reduction in half of the section doubles the air velocity increases the pressure losses and
the absorptive power by the ventilator by a factor 4.
