How Much Do You Know About Designing HVAC Ductwork?

• Duct system should be sized to handle design airflow quietly
• Flexible connector recommended for duct connections to eliminate vibration transfer
• Supply and return plenums should have fiberglass duct liner or be constructed from ductboard for sound attenuation
• Application to uninsulated ductwork in unconditioned space is not recommended
• At least one 90° elbow should be included in supply duct to reduce air noise
• Blower speed can be changed to address air noise or excessive air flow
• Check existing ductwork capacity before connecting unit
• Larger ductwork should be installed if existing ducting is too small
• Check for leaks and repair existing ductwork
• Variable capacity and air flow duct and register sizing is crucial for proper air delivery and sound levels.
