If duct height is input as zero, then the macro will assume that the duct segment will be round duct, not rectangular. Run macro 'new ductsize' which will calculate both supply duct and return duct diameter and width for each segment input, up to the maximum number of supply duct segments input, with a return duct segment calculated for each supply duct segment. The program will automatically calculate the 'Design Friction Rate' value to be used for Duct Sizing. Go to the Duct Sizing 1 Tab and enter the heating and cooling BTUH for each supply run. There is a maximum of 14 supply runs per unit.

Step 2: • Go to the Friction Rate Tab and enter the 'External Static Pressure' and 'CFM' for the selected equipment. • Next enter 'Component Pressure Losses' for all components and accessories external of the fan unit. • The program will automatically calculate the 'Design Friction Rate' value to be used for Duct Sizing. Step 3: • Go to the Duct Sizing 1 Tab and enter the heating and cooling BTUH for each supply run. • There is a maximum of 14 supply runs per unit. • For larger rooms divide the BTUH by the number of runs required for proper distribution of airflow. • The program will automatically select the duct size for round metal ductwork.

• For rectangular metal ductwork enter the height and the program will automatically select the duct size. • If Flex Duct is used refer to the Equivalent Flex column to select the correct duct size. • Under the supply truck section, select the associated supply runs for this supply trunk section and the CFM will automatically calculate. • The program will automatically select the duct size for round metal ductwork.

• For rectangular metal ductwork enter the height and the program will automatically select the duct size. • If Flex Duct is used refer to the Equivalent Flex column to select the correct duct size. • If more than four (4) supply trunk sections are required select the Duct Sizing 2 Tab. • Repeat the steps above for the return ducts.
