ZONING AND AIR DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEMS
2. HOW DOES A ZONING SYSTEM WORKS IN HVAC
A zoning system for an HVAC system is a way to control the temperature
for each area, or “zone” in a home, rather than have to heat or cool the whole
house to the same temperature.
With a zoning system, we can set temperatures differently for either
individual rooms or sections of our home.
3. HOW DOES A ZONING SYSTEM WORKS IN HVAC
Once that thermostat calls for heating or cooling there is virtually no way
to control the temperature in each room of the house except by manually
closing off the outlets in eachroom.
This manual method is time-consuming and can cause harm to the
HVAC unit, as closing off too many outlets can reduce the airflow. This
could shortenthelife of the furnace, air conditioner or heat pump.
4. HOW DOES A ZONING SYSTEM WORKS IN HVAC
Zoning solves this problem.
Zoning allows us to save energy (and therefore money) by not heating or cooling
roomswhen theydon’t need it.
A zoning system is a professionally installed control system consisting of a damper
and thermostat for each room or zone of the house. This control system is wired into a
central control panel that sequences each thermostat’s call with the zone dampers in the
ducts andthe HVACsystem.
5. HOW DOES A ZONING WORK IN HVAC?
Zoning provides the ability to only condition those rooms that need
heating or cooling and does not allow conditioned air into those zones not
requiring it.
Zoning does this through a series of components, the first being motorized
dampers that openand closebased on the demands of the zone thermostats.
These dampers are inserted into the ducts or can be installed at the air
outlet for each roomor zone.
Multiple dampers can be controlled together for a single zone if multiple
ducts serve a singleroomor zone. We will discuss these later.
6. HOW DOES A ZONING WORK IN HVAC?
As each zone is divided, each zone uses a thermostat to control the
heating, cooling and fan operationfor its individual zone.
The zone thermostats and dampers are wired into a central control
panel.
The panel then also connects to the thermostat connections on the HVAC
Unit. Instead of using one central thermostat, the control panel allows the
unit to be controlledby multiple thermostats.
8. HOW DOES A ZONING WORK IN HVAC?
As each thermostat calls for heating or cooling, the panel takes the first call
fromany zone.
If it’s heating, for example, it will keep open the damper to the calling zone,
close the dampers to satisfied zones not calling for heating, activate the furnace
or heat pump and beginsupplying air only to that zone.
If during this call other zones call for heating, those zone dampers would
openand heatedair wouldbe supplied to those zones as well.
Once all heating calls are satisfied the panel will shut off the furnace or heat
pump.
9. ROOM AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
HVAC airflow in spaces generally can be classified by two different
types: mixing (or dilution)and displacement.
Mixing Systems Of Air
Mixing systems generally supply air such that the supply air mixes with
the room air so that the mixed air is at the room design temperature and
humidity.
The high velocity supply air stream causes turbulence causing the room air to
mix withthe supplyair.
11. FANS IN HVAC
Fans push or pull air around the system. The simplest air distribution
systems use constant fan speed and constant-size damper openings.
However, Variable Air Volume ("VAV") systems change fan speed on the
fly, saving up to 10 - 20% of HVAC energy use.
12. DAMPERS IN HVAC
HVAC rely on dampers to help control indoor temperatures.
They can also be shut in unused rooms to save energy costs or opened
wide to allow more air flow into one area that needs additional heating or
cooling.
In addition to offering different types according to function, dampers also
feature different styles, different leak ranges and how the damper is
controlled.
Picking the right HVAC damper initially requires narrowing down the
different typesaccording to its function.
13. DAMPERS IN HVAC
Zone control dampers play a part in a much larger zone control HVAC
system. This system controls the dampers to determine how each zone is
heated and cooled. The use of motorized modulating dampers allows the
systemto controlthe air flow automatically.
A back-draft damper allows air to travel one way without travelling the
opposite way. These dampers are often circular and are balanced according
to what direction they are positioned on the wall so that gravity creates a
natural seal. At the same time, they are designed to open as air pushes
against it from the correct direction and close when that airflow is cut off to
prevent any air returning fromthe other direction.
14. DUCTS IN HVAC?
Ducts or plenums provide the pathways for air. Plenums are more open
spaces for air circulation, while ductworkprovides definedpathways.
15. THE PLENUM SYSTEM
• Suitedfor a job wherethe roomoutlets are all close to the unit
• Supply diffusers are normally locatedon theinside walls
• Work better on fossil-fuelsystems
• Fossil-fuel supply air temperaturescouldeasily reach130°F

18. DUCTS IN HVAC
There mustalways be a supply path and a return or exhaust path.
The return path generally brings used air back to be recycled into the
building but mixed with some percentage of outside air to maintain
freshness. This saves energy, as it avoids conditioning more outside
air. However, some laboratories and other programs require 100% outside
air for healthand safety.
Plenums can provide less resistance to airflow and have slower-moving
air. While this can be advantageous, they can also be more expensive and
are not appropriatefor space-constrainedbuildings.

20. DUCT MATERIALS
• Ductworkmust meet local codes . In India it
IS 655:2006
• For years, galvanized sheetmetal was used exclusively
• Other ductworkmaterials
Aluminum
Fiberglass duct-board
Spiral metal duct
Flexible duct
21. FLEXIBLE DUCTS
Comes in sizedup to about 24 in. in diameter.
Some have a reinforcedaluminumfoil backing
Some come withvinyl or foil backing and insulationon it
Keepduct runs as short as possible
Has more friction loss inside it thanmetal duct
Flex duct shouldbe stretched as tightas possible
23. DUCT AIR MOVEMENT
Branchducts are fastened to the maintrunkby a takeoff-fitting
The takeoff encourages the air moving the duct to enter the takeoff to the
branch duct
Air moving in the duct has inertia, meaning it wants to move in a straight
line
Using turning vanes will improve theair-flowaroundcorners

26. Low Velocity Duct Systems: Low-velocity ducts are characterized by air
velocities in therange of 400 to 2000 feet per minute (fpm).
Medium Velocity Duct Systems: Medium-velocity (MV) duct systems are
characterizedby air velocities in therange of 2000 to 2500fpm.
High Velocity Duct Systems: High-velocity (HV) duct systems are
characterizedby air velocities in the range of 2500 to 3500 fpm.
DUCT CLASSIFICATION
27. Low-velocity ductwork design is very important for energy efficiency in air
distributionsystems.
Low-velocity design will lead to larger duct sizes, but it may be worth since,
doubling of duct diameter will reduce friction loss by a factor of 32 times and
will be less noisy.
The low-velocity systems occupy more space and have higher first costs;
facility owners are often reluctant to provide the space for more expensive
ductwork, but significant energy savings can be realized even when the
ductworkis only increasedby one standardsize.

Some guidelines for determining the maximumairflowvelocityto use in selected
applications of low-velocitysystems include:
Research studies have been conducted to show that, with a specific amount of air movement, thermal comfort can be produced with certain combinations of dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity. When plotted on a psychrometric chart, these combinations form a range of conditions for delivering acceptable thermal comfort to 80% of the people in a space. This “comfort zone” and the associated assumptions are defined by ASHRAE Standard 55, Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy.
Determining the desired condition of the space is the first step in estimating the cooling and heating loads for the space. In this clinic, we will choose 78ºF [25.6ºC] dry-bulb temperature and 50% relative humidity (A) as the desired indoor condition during the cooling season.
