INTRODUCTION
Definition“the process of changing air in an enclosed space”
• Indoor air is withdrawn and replaced by fresh air continuously
• From clean external source

The importance of ventilation – to maintain air purity, i.e.:preservation of O2 content – this should be maintained at approximately 21% of air volumeremoval of CO2control of humidity – between 30 & 70% RH is acceptable for human comfortprevention of heat concentrations from machinery, lighting and peopleprevention of condensationdispersal of concentrations of bacteriadilution and disposal of contaminants such as smoke, dust gases and body odoursprovisions of freshness – an optimum air velocity lies between 0.15 and 0.5 ms-1

Fans
Provide the motive for air movement (imparting static energy or pressure and kinetic energy or velocity)It’s capacity for air movement depends on

Basic law of fan capabilities (at a constant air density):1. Volume of air varies in direct proportion to
the fan speed, i.e.
where,• Q = volume of air (m3/s)• N = fan impeller (rpm)

Ductwork
Circular, square or rectangular cross-sections
Circular & rectangular ductwork
More efficient, less frictional resistance to airflow
Convenience, more easily fitted into building fabric

VENTILATION DESIGN
Three methods of designing ductwork and fan:Equal velocity method
• the designer selects the same air velocity for use through out the system
Velocity reduction method• the designer selects variable velocities appropriate
to each section or branch of ductworkEqual friction method
• the air velocity in the main duct is selected and the size and friction determined from a design chart. The same frictional resistance is used for all other sections of ductwork
64
Duct design chart
65
Example 4 (ventilation design calculation)
Q, air volume flow rate (m3/s) = Room volume x air changes per hourTime in seconds
66
GivenRoom volume = 480 m3
Air changes per hour = 6

67
Equal velocity method
Air velocity throughout the system (duct A & duct B) = 5 m/s (selected based on Table 4.0)Q, the quantity of air = 0.4 m3/s is equally extracted through grille
Duct A will convey 0.8 m3/s; duct B will convey 0.4 m3/s

From the design chart:• Duct A = 450 mm Ø• Duct B = 320 mm Ø

71
The fan rating relates to the frictional resistance obtained in N/m2 or Pa per unit length of ductwork
From the design chart
Duct A = 0.65 Pa x 5 m effective duct length = 3.25 PaDuct B = 1.00 Pa x 10 m effective duct length = 10.00 Pa
Total = 13.25 Pa
Therefore, the fan rating or specification is 0.8 m3/s at 13.25 Pa
Effective duct length – the actual length plus additional allowances for bends, offsets, dampers, etc.
72
Velocity reduction method
Selected air velocity in duct A = 6 m/sSelected air velocity in duct B = 3 m/sQ, the quantity of air = 0.4 m3/s is equally extracted through grille
Duct A will convey 0.8 m3/s; duct B will convey 0.4 m3/s
From the design chartDuct A and B are both coincidentally 420 mm Ø
73
From duct design chart (Velocity reduction method)
74
Friction in duct A = 1.00 Pa x 5 m = 5.0 PaFriction in duct B = 0.26 Pa x 10 m = 2.6 Pa
Total = 7.6 Pa
Therefore, the fan rating or specification is 0.8 m3/s at 7.6 Pa
Effective duct length – the actual length plus additional allowances for bends, offsets, dampers, etc.
75
Equal friction method
Selected air velocity through duct A = 5 m/sCalculated airflow through duct A = 0.8 m3/sCalculated airflow through duct B = 0.4 m3/s
From the chart:Duct A at 0.8 m3/s = 450 Ø with a frictional resistance of 0.65 Pa/mDuct B (using the same friction) at 0.4 m3/s = 350 Øwith an air velocity of approximately 4.2 m/sThe fan rating is 0.8 m3/s at 0.65 Pa/m x 15 m = 9.75 Pa
76
From duct design chart (Equal friction method)
77
Determination of sufficient air changese.g.:
Library (max. velocity of 2.5 m/s with a max. resistance of 0.4 Pa/m length) – from Table 4.0
From the chart:Maximum air discharged, Q = 0.1 m3/s Duct size = 225 mm Ø
78
Duct design chart
79
From
Q = Room volume x air changes per hourTime in seconds
and,Air changes per hour = Q x time seconds
Room volume
= 0.1 x 3600180
Thus, 2 changes per hour would be provided
