Calculate the effective duct
length
The overall duct length will determine
the duct diameter.
^ Measure the actual duct length
needed:
1. Establish the number of elbows or
bends necessary, noting the type of
bend, angle and radius involved
(see, Table 1).
2. Add the additional duct length as
specified in Table 1 to the actual
duct length to get the effective duct
length.
3. The necessary duct diameter can
then be found in Table 2.
Note:
Drying times and energy consumption
remain unaltered for 4" (100 mm) duct
up to a total length of 66 ft. (20 m). Lon-
ger ducts may lead to slight increases,
but, the function will not be impaired as
long as the necessary duct diameter is
used (Table 2).
