Air and Gas Duct Structural Design Committee and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Air and Gas Duct Structural Design Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE Structural Design of Air and Gas Ducts for Power Stations and Industrial Boiler Applications, Second Edition, assists structural engineers in the layout and performance of the structural analysis and design of air and flue gas ductwork for natural gas, coal, oil, reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE), and all other fossil fuel power stations and industrial boiler applications. Air and flue gas ducts are unique structures, yet the structural analysis and design of ductwork is not currently addressed or governed by any national code or design standard. Topics include Flow, damper, and expansion joint ductwork arrangement considerations and impacts on the structural design; Material selection, behavior, and performance of carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloys for elevated temperatures and in corrosive environments including creep rupture, temper embrittlement, and graphitization phenomena; Air and flue gas ductwork unique loading cases and means of considering these loads in ASD and LRFD load combinations; Truss and finite element structural analysis modeling techniques; Strength design methods incorporating the AISC stability requirements (P-delta impacts); Longitudinal, tangential, and hoop stress considerations for the design of circular ductwork; Thermal and vibration considerations including thermal gradients and vortex shedding of internal elements; Thermal insulation systems; Toggle duct behavior and expansion joint considerations; and Structural assessment and reinforcement of ductwork as a result of changing operating conditions or ductwork modification. This fully updated report also discusses drawing and specification content, fabrication and construction techniques and considerations, duct support means, and special considerations regarding the design of duct support structures. Preventative maintenance examinations and inspections for the purpose of condition assessment and ascertaining the structural integrity of the ducts also are discussed. This new edition will be a valuable tool for structural engineers to understand the structural behavior of a duct system and in analyzing and designing its many structural components.

Download or read book HVAC Duct Design written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HVAC duct is a system of metal or flexible tubes that are used to distribute heated or cooled air throughout a building. They are typically made of sheet metal, fiberglass, or plastic and come in a variety of sizes. They are connected to registers, diffusers, and grilles, which help to regulate the air flow and temperature. Duct sizing is the process of ensuring that the right size of ducts and fittings is used in a ventilation system. This process involves calculating the air volume, velocity and pressure drop of the system, and then selecting the appropriate size of ducts and fittings to accommodate that air volume, velocity and pressure drop. The first principle of HVAC duct design is selecting the right size and type of components. The size and type of components are determined by the desired airflow, static pressure, and other criteria. Proper sizing helps to ensure that the system can adequately heat or cool the space. The components should also be selected based on the desired sound level, ease of installation, and other design considerations. HVAC Ductwork book, HVAC Rectangular Duct, HVAC Duct Design

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of duct design! Whether you're an engineer embarking on your career in HVAC systems, a contractor seeking to refine your craft, or an architect aiming for a deeper understanding of building systems, this book is your guide to mastering the art and science of ductwork. Efficient and effective duct design is the invisible backbone of a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. It ensures the conditioned air – warm or cool – reaches the right spaces in the right quantities. Yet, duct design can often be an under-appreciated aspect of HVAC systems. Poorly designed ducts can lead to a cascade of problems, from wasted energy and discomfort to noise complaints and even code violations. This book aims to bridge that gap. We'll delve into the fundamentals of airflow, duct materials, and pressure drop calculations, equipping you with the core knowledge for effective design. But knowledge alone isn't enough. We'll explore practical applications, guiding you through the specific considerations for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. You'll learn how to optimize airflow, minimize noise, and prioritize energy efficiency in your designs. This book is not just about the mechanics; it's about the bigger picture. We'll discuss the latest trends and technologies shaping the future of duct design, from sustainable materials to powerful design software. We'll also explore the critical role of codes and standards in ensuring safe and efficient systems. By the end of this journey, you'll be equipped to design ductwork that not only meets technical requirements but also delivers optimal comfort, minimizes environmental impact, and aligns with best practices. So, grab your pencil (or fire up your design software) and let's embark on this exploration of the fascinating world of duct design!
