Dual-Duct System

ERSH = effective room sensible heat (Btu/hr). Subscripts: z = zone peak; bk = block peak.
BF = dehumidifiet bypass factor; trm = room temperature (F); tadp = apparatus dewpoint temperature (F)
hea = specific enthalpy of entering mixture of outdoor air at design conditions and and return air at average syste
mcondition (Btu/lb).
Hadp = specific enthalpy at apparatus dewpoint temperature (Btu/lb).

the Btu calculations should be adjusted by increasing the
outdoor air bypass factor by 0.1.
Table 1 summarizes the cooling load requirements of
various conventional systems applied to single and
multiple zones. It also presents the methods applied in
calculating the dehumidified and supply air quantities as
well as the refrigeration or the dehumidifier load, and
defines the fan and zone supply air quantities.
HEATING LOAD
When heating is required, the load for each zone is
calculated to offset the transmission loss plus infiltration.
The capacities of the heating or reheating coils should be
capable of both raising the supply air temperature to
room conditions and offsetting the zone heating load (Part
2).
If a preheater is required, it may be selected to
temper the minimum outdoor air to 40 F or to heat the
mixture of outdoor and return air to the required dewpoint
temperature.
SUPPLY AIR
The supply air for the various types of conventional
systems may either equal the dehumidifier air quantity
(Table 1) or be increased to maintain the proper air
circulation within the conditioned space. If it is increased,
it may be accomplished either by the addition of a
permanent bypass of untreated recirculated space air to
be mixed with the dehumidified air, or by the selection of
