Carrier System Design Manual Part 2: Air Distribution

Carrier System Design Manual Part 2: Air Distribution

Proper piping and air distribution are critical to the performance, efficiency, and reliability of any air conditioning system. This essential volume of the System Design Manual provides engineers and industry professionals with the data, methodology, and practical examples needed to confidently design and lay out air handling equipment, ductwork, and air distribution components.

Spanning three focused chapters, this guide covers:

• General piping design

• Water piping

• Refrigerant piping

• Steam piping

In addition to piping, this manual also offers practical guidance on:

• Air handling apparatus – equipment selection and layout

• Air duct design – sizing, routing, and pressure considerations

• Room air distribution – terminal devices, throw, drop, and occupant comfort

Whether you’re a consulting engineer, a design professional, or an industry specialist, the text of this manual is offered as a general guide for designing HVAC systems. Judgment is always required when applying these principles to specific installations, and the publisher (Carrier) assumes no responsibility for any use made of the information.
