Image
A constant airflow regulator is a modulating orifice that automatically regulates airflows in duct systems to constant levels
Image
A constant airflow regulator is fitted into the neck of the supply duct to control air flow to deliver the design airflow regardless of pressure variations
Image
A duct leakage test is performed on a ducted heat pump system using a duct tester (blower fan) and a digital manometer.
Image
A ducted central return brings air from central return registers back to the air handler through insulated, air-sealed ducts
Image
A floor cavity between the first and second floor can provide a conditioned space for HVAC ducts if the rim joists are insulated and air sealed, if sufficient space is available, and if open-web floor joists are used
