14 Sound Path Estimation D C SOUND POWER L w C =Casing Radiated and Induction Inlet O D O =Discharge Sound =Outlet Generated Sound
15 Sound Power vs Sound Pressure Sound power is the total sound energy produced Sound pressure is the sound level that results after some sound energy is lost to the environment If 80 db is produced but only 70 db is measured, the difference is a 10 db room effect or attenuation
16 The Decibel (db) The decibel(db) is measured against a frequency and averaged into octave bands Octave Band Designations Center Frequency Band Designation

24 Decibel Addition To add two decibel values: 80 db + 74 db
25 Decibel Addition To add two decibel values: 80 db + 74 db 154 db (Incorrect)
26 Decibel Addition Correction To Be Added To Higher Value (db) Difference In Decibels Between Two Values Being Added (db) To add two decibel values: 80 db - 74 db = 6 db Difference in Values: 6 db From Chart: Add 1.0 db to higher Value 80 db + 1 db 81 db (Correct)
27 Source Multiplication Equation for sound power changes = 10logn 1 Fan on vs. 2 Fans on n=2 Add 3 db 1 Fan on vs. 4 Fans on n=4 Add 6 db 1 Fan on vs. 10 Fans on n=10 Add 10 db 1 Fan on vs. 100 Fans on n=100 Add 20 db 50 Fans on vs. 100 Fans on n=2 Add 3 db
28 Proximity To Sound Sources Would you really expect to hear 100 fans running at the same time? Properly selected diffusers shouldn t be heard from more than 10 feet away Although there may be multiple diffusers in a space, it s unlikely that more than one or two are within 10 feet of an occupant We would only expect to be able to hear a 10 foot section of continuous linear diffuser from any single location
29 Catalog Diffuser NC Values Diffuser NC values are based on a 10 db room effect deduction in each octave band Typical medium office with 8 10 ft high lay in ceiling, commercial carpet, sheetrock walls, and some office furniture 10 db is a reasonable room effect deduction for the critical octave bands Critical octave bands are 4 th (500 Hz), 5 th (1000 Hz), and 6 th (2000 Hz)
30 Typical NC Levels Conference Rooms < NC30 Private offices < NC35 Open offices = NC40 Hallways, utility rooms, rest rooms < NC45 NC should match purpose of room Difficult to achieve less than NC30 Select diffusers for NC20 25 (or less)

99 Terminal Units Types and Applications
100 Single duct VAV Most common type Cold primary air (55 F) from AHU Serves interior spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Modulates between design cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
101 Single duct CAV Same unit as single duct VAV, but controls are set to a single airflow rate (cfm) and no room sensor is required Receives conditioned air from an AHU or ventilation air from a DOAS Provides critical environment ACR s (per ASHRAE 170) and/or provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Maintains constant airflow (cfm) through pressure independent control
102 Single duct VAV with heat Same unit as single duct VAV but controls a radiant panel or baseboard heater Cold primary air (55 F) from AHU Serves perimeter spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Modulates between design cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
103 Single duct VAV with reheat Same unit as single duct VAV but includes either an electric or hydronic heating coil Cold primary air (55 F) from AHU Serves perimeter spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Modulates between design cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control and activates heat as necessary
104 Single duct CAV with reheat Same unit as single duct VAV with reheat, but controls are set to a single airflow rate (cfm) Room sensor only controls heater Cold primary air (55 F) from an AHU Provides critical environment ACR s (per ASHRAE 170) and/or provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Maintains constant airflow (cfm) through pressure independent control but changes the air temperature to maintain room temperature setpoint
105 Single duct VAV with autochangeover Same unit as single duct VAV but includes inlet mounted temperature sensor Cold (55 F) and hot (90 F) primary air from AHU Serves interior and perimeter spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) Modulates between design maximum (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
106 Bypass Also called dump boxes Used with CAV air handlers Responds to thermostat call for more/less airflow Unwanted airflow gets directed to return Obsolete
107 Exhaust terminals Requires different unit configuration to keep pressure drop low Typically works in tandem with a CAV with reheat unit Serves critical environment spaces that require pressurization (per ASHRAE 170) Positive room pressure creates protective environment Negative room pressure creates airborne infectious isolation (AII) room Can either control room pressure directly or by offset from supply volume
108 Exhaust terminals Don t use standard single duct VAV Contractors get confused They get installed backwards Inlet sensor facing wrong direction Inlet sensor downstream from damper It s a mess!
109 Dual duct terminals Different designs for different mixing requirements Non Mixing Standard Mixing High Mixing
110 Mixing ratios Standard mixing ratio = 1:10 For every 10 F of T between hot and cold supply temperatures, there will be less than 1 F of variation across the discharge duct at a point 4 ft downstream High mixing ratio = 1:20 For every 20 F of T between hot and cold supply temperatures, there will be less than 1 F of variation across the discharge duct at a point 4 ft downstream
111 Dual duct VAV (non mixing) Least common type, rarely used Cold (55 F) and hot (90 F) primary air from AHU Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) No simultaneous heating/cooling Modulates between design heating/cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
112 Dual duct VAV (mixing) Most common type Cold (55 F) and hot (90 F) primary air from AHU Serves interior or exterior spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1) High comfort, high operating cost Centralized equipment Modulates between design heating/cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
113 Dual duct CAV Very common type Cold (55 F) and hot (90 F) primary air from AHU Serves critical environment spaces Provides ventilation (per ASHRAE 62.1 and ASHRAE 170) Modulates between design cooling (cfm) and minimum ventilation (cfm) to maintain room temperature setpoint using pressure independent control
114 Fan powered terminals Series fan powered Parallel fan powered
115 Series fan powered Most common type in tall office buildings Can provide constant air motion Near constant sound levels Cold (55 F) air from AHU Pulls free heat from ceiling return plenum Additional heat (electric or hydronic) at discharge Can be ducted to return air grille (healthcare applications) Very low inlet pressure requirements Can run unit fan to maintain night setback temps without AHU Dynamic fan sequences can track room loads
116 Series fan powered Advantages Improved room air motion due to constant air changes Constant sound level Reduced inlet pressure requirement Low noise options Disadvantages Fan runs continuously Fan must handle design cooling airflow
117 Parallel fan powered Most common type in smaller buildings and warmer climates Fan is off during cooling mode Receives cold (55 F) air from AHU Fan energizes for heating mode Pulls free heat from ceiling return plenum Additional heat (electric or hydronic) at discharge, hydronic usually on induction port Higher inlet pressure requirements Can run unit fan to maintain night setback temps without AHU
118 Parallel fan powered Advantages Fan handles heating design airflow only Fan only runs during heating Very quiet during cooling Disadvantages Modulating sound level Varying airflow on diffusers Air leakage
119 Series vs. Parallel Which fan powered unit is more energy efficient? ASHRAE RP 1292 Looked at the entire HVAC system and building operation Parallel efficiency reduced due to primary air leakage Roughly equal when properly sized and applied Only looked at PSC motors Consortium report New project to look at ECM units Series with ECM was a clear winner

131 AHRI 880 Performance Rating of Air Terminals How to present catalog data tested in accordance with ASHRAE 130 Pressure drop Air capacity Radiated sound power Discharge sound power Power consumption Provides rating points for the Directory of Certified Performance
132 Performance Rating Terminal unit performance rated per AHRI Standard 880 Now includes new end reflection loss (ERL) correction that must be applied to discharge sound levels
133 What is end reflection? Occurs when sound source is ducted to room Noise reflected back to source Not captured in reverb room testing Deducted when estimating NC (??????) Can be calculated based on duct dimensions Sound Source ERL Room
134 Typical NC Levels Conference Rooms < NC30 Private offices < NC35 Open offices = NC40 Hallways, utility rooms, rest rooms < NC45 NC should match purpose of room Difficult to achieve less than NC30 Select diffusers for NC20 25 (or less)
135 Attenuators Single duct Equivalent to lined ductwork Dual duct Provides temperature mixing, but little sound attenuation Fan powered Lined elbow or boot may provide 2dB attenuation by removing line of sight to motor Carefully engineered attenuators can provide additional sound reductions
136 Silencers Must be tested with terminal unit Don t assume that silencer will provide published sound reduction A silencer could actually increase noise! Silencers are tested to a different standard Silencers work when applied as intended They perform differently when close coupled
137 Liners Softer and thicker liners tend to absorb sound Lower discharge sound Harder or more dense liners tend to block or reflect sound Lower radiated sound Higher discharge sound Lining effects on fanpowered products can be hard to predict
138 Performance certification AHRI maintains Directory of Certified Product Performance Voluntary program Manufacturers submit performance at the certified rating point Annual random samples are tested independently Failures result in mandatory re rating and additional testing This program keeps manufacturers honest But shouldn t be used to compare most products Rating points are not always best operating points
139 Safety agency listing National Electrical Code (NEC) requires UL or ETL listings on all electrical appliances UL Standard 1995 covers fan powered HVAC equipment Fan powered terminal units UL Standard 1996 covers non fan electric duct heaters Single duct terminals with electric heat UL Standard 429 covers electricallycontrolled valves Single and dual duct boxes with electronic controls
140 Safety agency listing Terminal unit products are typically ETL listed Less costly and more flexible than working with UL Faster turnaround for custom designs A safety agency listing covers Designed in accordance with all applicable UL safety standards Manufactured using all approved electrical components and assembly methods Manufactured in a controlled factory environment subject to random audit by agency Safety tested using approved methods and equipment prior to shipping
141 Safety agency listing Things you can do at the jobsite that won t void the safety listing Connect approved supply circuit Install low voltage controls Change out defective parts with properly rated replacement parts Make minor wiring changes that don t affect electrical ratings
142 Safety agency listing Things you shouldn t do that will void the safety listing Connect a supply circuit that doesn t match label requirements Install unapproved high voltage electrical parts inside the unit Change motor/heater voltage, motor HP, or heater KW Make wiring changes that affect the electrical characteristics

151 Traditional liners Soft fiberglass Called dual density or matte faced fiberglass 0.5 or 1.0 thick R value = 1.9 or 3.9 Rigid fiberglass Called ductboard with scrim reinforced foil face Installed with galvanized Z brackets 1.0 thick R value = 4.3
152 Traditional liners Solid dual wall 22g galvanized steel over 1.0 thick fiberglass R value = 3.9 Perforated dual wall 22g perforated galvanized steel over 1.0 thick soft or rigid fiberglass R value = 3.9 Very costly, creates uncleanable surface
153 Innovative liners Engineered polymer foam insulation Called EPFI 0.5 or 1.0 thick R value = 2.0 or 4.0 Cannot absorb moisture Has anti microbial agent throughout Must be mechanically fastened
154 Innovative liners Natural fiber Recycled cotton or denim Matte faced or foil faced 0.5 or 1.0 thick R value = 2.0 or 4.0 Flame retardant Has anti microbial agent throughout
155 Liner standards Numerous standards out there ASTM C1071 Std Spec for Fibrous Glass Duct Lining Insulation ASTM C1104 Std Test Method for Determining the Water Vapor Sorption of Unfaced Mineral Fiber Insulation ASTM C1338 Std Test Method for Determining the Fungi Resistance of Insulation Materials and Facings ASTM E84 Std Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials NFPA 90A Std for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems NFPA 90B Std for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
156 Liner standards Lots of confusion because Some standards are material specific Some standards are only method of test Some standards are referenced in other standards UL 181 Standard for Factory Made Air Ducts and Air Connectors Covers everything that manufacturers can use References all appropriate test methods All materials intended for use as duct or equipment lining must meet this standard
157 LEED and Liners Exposed lining materials must comply with UL 181 with regard to resistance to air erosion and mold growth LEED requires the air distribution system to comply with ASHRAE 62.1 Per ASHRAE 62.1, exposed lining materials must meet UL 181 with regard to resistance to air erosion and mold growth Every duct lining material should meet UL 181
158 LEED and Liners Is meeting LEED requirements all we care about? Just because you can put exposed fiberglass into a LEED Platinum building doesn t mean you should Liners such as engineered polymer foam and recycled natural fiber should provide improved indoor air quality with little if any added cost
159 Electric coils Staged 1, 2, or 3 stages Magnetic contactors for each stage Equal stages SCR Heater control board Solid state relays (SSR s) Elements arranged as a 1 stage heater Pulsed on/off Safety devices Airflow switch (ΔP = 0.05 in wg) 115 F auto reset thermal cutouts (per element) 160 F manual reset thermal cutout (per heater)

162 Water coil problems Water connection Water coils should always be supplied at the lowest connection Prevents air from being trapped in coil circuits Low water flow Should be at least in the top half of transitional flow Coefficient of heat transfer is reduced in the lower half Minimum gpm is based on Reynolds number Affected by altitude, temperature, glycol, etc Poorly supported supply lines and water hammering Can result in stress fractures on header connections

168 Fan motors Permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors Sleeve bearings Speed range: rpm Efficiency: 20 60% Service life: years Electronically commutated motors (ECMs) Ball bearings AC/DC rectifier Programmable Speed range: rpm Efficiency 70 80% Service life: years
169 Speed controls PSC motors use SCR speed controls Silicon controlled rectifier (i.e. dimmer switch) Chops and distorts ac sinewave power Good for trimming, not chopping speed ECMs use PWM speed controls Pulse width modulated signal 0 20 VDC pulses to control module Manual adjust models available Remote control models available Accepts 0 10 VDC speed control signal Allows dynamic fan sequencing
170 Optional filters Optional filters are inexpensive disposable type Intended to be fitted during construction only Adequate to prevent dust contamination of motor and blower Most terminal units are operated without filters Hot water coils do not collect dust like condensing coils Accessibility of terminal units is a problem Terminal units should require zero maintenance Performance data never includes filters
171 Optional filters If filtering of return is necessary or desired Use filter grilles in the ceiling Provides easy access Allows for larger filters in less costly standard sizes
172 MERV rated filters MERV rated filters are available Most terminal units were never designed to use MERV rated filters Will likely reduce the maximum fan capacity Could create problems Sometimes design changes necessary Angled filter racks can enlarge filter area
173 Low profile Low profile terminal units were originally developed for the Washington, DC market High real estate cost Building height restrictions 12 ceiling plenums Product can be no more than 10.5 tall Low profile results in Lower airflow capacities Higher pressure drops Higher sound levels Also used in retrofit applications where space is tight
174 Low temperature Some systems are designed to operate with low temp air Typically use ice storage Supply temperatures as low as 38 F Lower air volumes and smaller ductwork Special terminal units Heavier liners for higher R value Thermally isolated inlet collars Standard single duct VAV boxes with 0.5 lining can handle 40 F supply air 80 F plenum air 60% RH
175 Low temperature Recommendations for low temperature buildings Order terminal units with 1.0 thick liners (R value = ) Use a ceiling plenum return Protects ductwork from stagnant air Do a soft start and gradually drop the supply temperature Allows the building to dry out Design the building to operate under positive pressure Prevents outdoor air infiltration Low temperature buildings are typically dry by nature, so condensation is not a major problem
176 Underfloor Underfloor terminals are usually fan powered units designed to boost airflow to spaces in UFAD systems Must fit between floor pedestals Must be serviceable from above Should be designed for zero maintenance
177 Terminal Units Selection and Sizing Randy Zimmerman Chief Engineer
178 Inlet selection Inlets should be selected carefully for Low noise levels Low pressure drop Accurate flow control VAV inlets should be selected for Maximum inlet velocity as close to 2000 fpm as possible Allows an 85% turndown with no loss of control accuracy CAV inlets allow much more flexibility Maximum inlet range of fpm
179 Operating pressures Inlet static pressure Most VAV systems operate at in wg Systems with series fan powered could be as low as 0.5 in wg Downstream static pressure Ductwork, take offs, balancing dampers, flex duct, and diffusers Most selections assume 0.25 in wg Minimum pressure requirement Min ΔPs across box with damper wide open including any coils Inlet SP >Min ΔPs + Downstream SP
180 Fan selection PSC Fan Curve ECM Fan Curve
181 Fan selection Fan selection depends on the type of motor Most selections are made with 0.25 in wg downstream Actual conditions are often 0.10 in wg or less Selecting PSC units near the minimum curve could easily put the fan outside its recommended operating range Selected Actual
182 Fan selection PSC fan motors should be selected in the top 25% of range Allows motor to run cooler and more efficiently Oversized motors running at low speed create rumbly noise
183 Fan selection ECMs should be selected in the lower 50% of range Oddly enough they run more quietly and efficiently at low speed
184 Electric coil selection Terminal units are generally limited to a current draw of 48A UL 1995 and 1996 require subdivided circuitry and additional fusing to exceed 48A Voltages and phases must increase as KW s increase Fan motor current must also be included Power frequency (Hz) does not affect electric coils Only affects inductive loads, not resistive loads Limit discharge temperature UL Maximum discharge temperature = 120 F ASHRAE Overhead heating < 15 F above desired room temperature Don t exceed 100 F to prevent intermittent operation and overheating of elements
185 Electric coil selection Be careful with small KW requirements Element wire gets smaller as KW gets smaller and voltage/phase increases Small heaters should Be lowest voltage, single phase, and single stage (or SCR) Staged heat on/off How many stages? SCR heat modulating Input signal? Discharge air temperature sensor?
186 Heat vs. reheat Sensible heating MBH = 1.08 x cfm x (LAT EAT)/1000 Heating is more efficient than reheating Supply air must be brought up to room temperature before heating can begin Desired room temp = 72 F Supply air = 55 F Heating design airflow = 800 cfm MBH (reheat) = 1.08 x 800 x (72 55)/1000 = 14.6 LAT should not exceed 90 F for good thermal comfort MBH (heating) = 1.08 x 800 x (90 72)/1000 = 15.6 In this example it takes 30.2 MBH at the coil to provide 15.6 MBH to the room
187 Heat vs. reheat Fan powered terminals Pull warm return air from ceiling return plenums or filter grilles Return air is warmer than room air Free heat (minus fan energy) Can switch on independently (no AHU) to maintain night setback temperatures
188 Hot water coil selection Too much information Entering water Entering air Leaving water Leaving air Capacity Airflow Water flow Air pressure drop Water pressure drop Really need to know Entering water Entering air Airflow Capacity or Leaving air Water flow Max Air pressure drop Max Water pressure drop Max Leaving water Min
189 Hot water coil selection Hot water coil selection shouldn t be that hard Select a coil that meets or exceeds the desired capacity or leaving air temp with exceeding the maximum water flow How many rows should I select? Coils are generally available in 1, 2, 3, or 4 rows Everyone avoids 3 row and 4 row coils Select a 1 row or 2 row coil If the selection software says your water flow is too low You need to reduce the coil rows If you are already selecting a 1 row coil, you didn t really want much heat anyway Don t forget about 12 FPI coils

191 Hanging terminal units Optional OEM hanger brackets Typically have 0.50 round or slotted hole Intended for use with hanger rods Hanger straps Strips of galvanized steel Run down the sides of unit, fastened with screws Trapeze hanger Angled or square tubular steel Used with hanger rods Run under units Not ideal can limit accessibility
192 Hanging terminal units What about spring isolation hangers? Not required to achieve catalog performance All hanging methods must meet local code requirements Can provide extra protection from vibration (especially on fan powered units)
193 Can I hang a box upside down? That depends Single duct without coil = YES, no problem Single duct with hot water coil = YES, supply to lowest connection Single duct with electric coil = YES, labels with be upside down Exhaust terminals = YES, no problem Dual duct = YES, no problem Series fan powered = YES, but access doors may be on top only Parallel fan powered = YES, but backdraft damper may require modification and access doors may be on top only. Retrofit terminals = YES, no problem
194 Can I turn a box on its side? That depends Single duct without coil = YES, no problem Single duct with hot water coil = NO, coil circuits will trap air Single duct with electric coil = YES, airflow switch must be moved Exhaust terminals = YES, no problem Dual duct = YES, no problem Series fan powered = YES, no problem unless it has a water coil Parallel fan powered = NO, backdraft damper won t close Retrofit terminals = YES, no problem
195 Can a box discharge up/down? That depends Single duct without coil = YES, no problem Single duct with hot water coil = NO, coil circuits will trap air Single duct with electric coil = YES, no problem Exhaust terminals = YES, no problem Dual duct = YES, no problem Series fan powered = YES, no problem unless it has a water coil Parallel fan powered = NO, backdraft damper won t close Retrofit terminals = YES, no problem

199 Electrical ratings Motor full load amps (FLA) Motor nameplate or as tested Heater full load amps (FLA) Single phase, i= w/v Three phase, i= w/(v x 1.73) Unit full load amps (FLA) Unit (FLA) = motor #1 (FLA) + motor #2 (FLA) + heater (FLA) Minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) MCA = 1.25 x [motor #1 (FLA) + motor #2 (FLA) + heater (FLA)] Maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) MOP = 2.25 x motor #1 (FLA) + [motor #2 (FLA) + heater (FLA)]
200 Electrical ratings Minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) Defines minimum supply circuit size All supply circuit component ratings >MCA Maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) Prevents oversized circuit breakers MOP >MCA MOP > 15A Standard circuit breaker sizes 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60A 15A rarely used in commercial construction 15A MOP units can be supplied with 20A breakers Breakers can go up one size so long as < 600A
201 Electrical ratings Optional fuses and fused disconnect switches Do not affect unit electrical ratings Same calculations as units without May or may not meet local disconnect switch requirements Supply circuit overcurrent protection is always external Connection lugs will not accommodate oversized wire
202 Electrical ratings Three phase power 3 wire or 4 wire? 4 wire is the current standard 3 wire found in older cities, some rural areas, and automobile assembly plants (?) 3 wire = L1, L2, L3 (three hot legs) 4 wire = L1, L2, L3, N (three hot legs and neutral) Neutral is an unbroken ground path to the breaker panel Delta = 208V or 480V, 3 wire Wye = 480V, 3 wire or 4 wire
203 Inlet conditions SMACNA recommends a minimum of 3 4 equivalent duct diameters of straight approach Not always possible Cross type sensors can reduce inaccuracy Bulkhead transitions are better than tapered transitions
204 Discharge ductwork Discharge ductwork isn t a critical concern No more than 1000 fpm Best to have some straight duct before an elbow Don t put flex duct directly on unit discharge Best to have at least 4 of lined duct before the first diffuser takeoff, especially on fan powered units
