Chapter 128 Flashcards
Static pressure up to 1.50 kPa/ Velocities 11 m/s -25 m/s
Medium Pressure duct system
Improperly designed duct systems will act as a large ___________
bull born
Static pressure not exceeding 0.50 kPa/Velocities less than 11 m/s
Low pressure duct system
Static pressure 1.50-2.50 kPa/Velocity greater than 25 m/s
High pressure
Duct materials are fabricated of?
sheet metal, plastic, cement asbestos or fibreglass
The materials used in sheet metal duct systems are:
galvanized steel, black steel, aluminum, stainless steel and copper
Normal services involves only atmospheric contaminants and localized water carryover from cooling coils, humidifiers, air washers, or outdoor air intakes
galvanized steel
Used for kitchen exhaust ducts
black steel
the cost is justified by the need for maximum resistance to moisture.
Aluminum, stainless steel, copper
Exhaust of corrosive material, such as from laboratory fume hoods
cement asbestos
Very light weight, have low initial cost, and naturally silencing.
Fibreglass
Changes in duct size should be gradual with a slope of
1 in 7
Mitre elbows which have legs of equal length may increase _________
velocity
Short radius elbows should be provided with _______
turning vanes
Splitters and positive lock dampers should be used on all ________
branch ducts
