Optimizing HVAC Design with the ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database (2016)
No tool is perfect, and it's important to weigh the DFDB's strengths and limitations. ashrae duct fitting database 2016
The ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database 2016 is available for purchase on the ASHRAE website. Once accessed, engineers can use the database to: Optimizing HVAC Design with the ASHRAE Duct Fitting
The database allows users to select specific duct components and input design parameters—such as airflow (CFM), dimensions, and density—to automatically generate: Loss Coefficients ( ashrae duct fitting database 2016
Designing an efficient duct system requires precise calculation of to properly size fans and air handling units (AHUs). The DFDB simplifies this by allowing users to:
