Checking Supply Air CFM

To check the supply air CFM after the initial balancing has been completed:

1.Remove the two ¼ inch dot plugs in the duct panel.

a dry coil, the compressors should be deactivated while the test is being run.

4.Knowing the pressure drop across a dry coil, the actual CFM through the unit can be determined from the curve in Coil Delta P vs. Supply Air CFM figure.

2.Insert at least 8 inches of ¼ inch tubing into each of these

FAQ

What are the steps to check the supply air CFM?

The steps to check the supply air CFM after the initial balancing has been completed include removing the two-inch dot plugs in the duct panel and using an inclined manometer to determine the pressure drop across the dry evaporator coil.

Why is it important to properly adjust the total system air quantity?

Failure to properly adjust the total system air quantity can result in extensive system damage. It is crucial to ensure the system's performance and longevity.

How can I determine the actual CFM through the unit?

Knowing the pressure drop across a dry coil, the actual CFM through the unit can be determined from the curve in the Coil Delta P vs. Supply Air CFM figure provided in the article.
