System

Considerations

3.System effects for plenum discharges must also be calculated and added to the design pressure. In a properly designed plenum (see Duct System Effect

section), the system effect coefficient (Co) depends on the orientation of the discharge relative to the fan and duct connection (if any). For air plenums with multiple discharges, calculate the system effect by using the highest loss coefficient for all discharges. In this example, the discharges are ducted so the

highest loss will be axial (Co "TTVNFUIBUUIF two discharges will each handle 10,000 cfm.
