straight duct with
“Frictional Resis-
ance Diagram.”t
t
To determine the “straight
duct equivalent length” for
he entire duct by using the
straight duct equivalent
length table for the
com
p
onent.
p
To determine the
local pressure loss
with the “local loss
coefficient.”
To determine the intersec-
tion by plotting the “loss
resistance curve” in the
“Static Curve - Quantity
Characteristic Curve.”
To determine the
pressure loss of the
entire duct system.
The required static pressure is determined by adding
10-20% tolerancesto the obtained pressure loss.
To select a model satisfying the characteristics with the
“Static Curve - Quantity Characteristic Curve.”
