Duct Sizing vs. Airflow (CFM) – Why It Matters in HVAC Design

  Duct Sizing vs. Airflow (CFM) – Why It Matters in HVAC Design Proper duct sizing is not just math—it’s the foundation of an efficient HVAC system! Here's a quick reference on how airflow (in CFM) increases with duct diameter: 📕 Quick Reference Table ✦ 4" ➤ 20 CFM ✦ 6" ➤ 80 CFM ✦ 10" ➤ 300 CFM ✦ 14" ➤ 740 CFM ✦ 20" ➤ 1875 CFM And so on... Why This Matters: 1. Energy Efficiency Undersized ducts = high static pressure = increased fan energy use. 2. Comfort & IAQ Improper airflow leads to hot/cold spots and poor indoor air quality. 3. Noise Control Right sizing reduces turbulence and noise in the system. 4. Cost Optimization 💰 Correct duct sizing avoids overspending on oversized systems or retrofits. 📗 Did You Know? ➡️ A 1-inch increase in duct diameter can make a major difference in airflow (and your system's efficiency). ➡️ Improper duct design is one of the top causes of HVAC system failure or inefficiency. ✿ Let’s make HVAC design sm...

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries

Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems Cathodic Corrosion Protection Systems: A Guide for Oil and Gas Industries Preface Contents Preface The oil and gas industry depends on steel and other metals for pipelines, storage tanks, and infrastructure. However, these metals can corrode when exposed to water or soil, which is detrimental to the integrity of pipelines and storage tanks. This engineering book outlines the minimum requirements for anodes (high-silicon iron, graphite, magnetite) used in impressed current CP systems. It details the composition, materials, manufacturing, properties, inspection, and testing of these anodes. Additionally, it provides revised survey requirements to ensure corrosion control systems on buried or submerged structures are well-designed, operated, and maintained. The book also covers techniques, equipment, ...
