THE HVAC AIR BALANCING
The HVAC system is a gift of science to humans that is designed to make life comfortable easier and healthier. It ensures a life that a human desires in this age of tiresome working sessions. But have you experienced airflow of the HVAC system to one particular place more in a room, or the corners of the room get no proper airflow.
HVAC Air balancing is a procedure for directing the flow of the air in the surrounding where the HVAC system is installed so that the HVAC system is working in a balanced and optimized manner. Balancing of an HVAC unit ensures that conditioned air is available at every nook and corner inside a room.
The main purpose of the air balancing is to enhance the air circulation in the room, ensure every corner gets appropriate air, and to enhance the energy and system efficiencies. With proper air balance the room temperature remains constant and thus your room becomes more comfortable.
THE WARNING SIGNS
Signs for the need for HVAC air balancing:
- If you feel that temperature is not consistent and there are sharp fluctuations at once you should know that your conditioning system is asking for a balancing. The air balancing will optimize a conditioning unit to release the consistent outputs and comfortable temperatures in all rooms of the house or building.
- Sometimes you may find the spots inside a building that are cooler or warmer. The air balancing deals with the issue of unequal airflow and brings it back to uniformity.
- In the absence of a balanced air flow the system works harder and consumes much energy. So if you are paying more energy bills, ask professional help for air balancing as it might be one biggest cause for increased energy consumptions.
PROCEDURE OF AIR BALANCING
An HVAC system is a delicate design that demands extra care during operation. This action is done after much testing of the system to maintain equal and stable airflow. After the tests a professional will have a clearer plan to fix the issue.
With the help of the data that will be the result of the testing, our professionals can create a virtual map of the comfort balance and airflow in the system. With the help of this map we can know the precise points of temperature inconsistencies. An air balancing inspection comprises of
- Damaged or perorated air ducts
- Loose duct joints.
- Blockages
- Undersized ducts
- Excessively long ductwork
- Ductwork with sharp turns
The procedure of air balancing:
- A professional shall make use of a balancing hood for measuring the airflow coming out of each supply register and shall then make a balancing report for the room.
- The airflow for return grilles, the duct traverse reading with the help of a pitot tube are measured.
- These air flow velocity shall be calculated and the system airflow specification shall be compared. Based on it the fan speed is adjusted as per the specifications set by the manufacturer.
- Sequential method: In this method after inspection the zone and the branch dampers of the HVAC system are set in sequence.
- In the proportional balancing method, fan speed, noise level, motor voltage, grilles flow, supply flow, damper flow, etc. are measured and adjusted.
- Finally, testing is done to ensure that the system is properly aired balanced.
A balanced airflow means cleaner air that further means a longer life span for HVAC equipment. After this action you must be sure to have an improved comfort level and better air quality. During the inspection the other problem areas may be found and fixed carefully by our team of technicians.
It will guard your system against the temperature fluctuations that are very harmful to the life of an air conditioning unit. This service action will provide you a place where every point is getting its share of conditioned air with balanced airflow.
