AIR BALANCING METHOD STATEMENT

A. INDOOR UNIT AIR BALANCING:
1. Prior to Testing & Commissioning all pre commissioning checks should be carried out.
2. Select the specified speed of the Indoor Unit.
3. Set all the dampers in the Grille outlet at full open position.
4. Take initial flow of the unit by adding up all the measured from of the design flow.
5. Compare the reading against the designed flow. Find out the percentage of the design flow.
6. Find out the index outlet (i.e. which has the very low percentage of reading) from the initial scan.
7. Keep the index outlet damper fully open.
8. Then throttle the air volume at each outlet to get the design percentage of flow proportionally by using the flow hood
hood (Balometer) / anemometer.
9. Each time when you throttle the outlet by closing the diffuser/ grill damper, the index outlet air flow raises gradually.
Measure the index point each time.

B. BALANCING AIR TERMINALS PROCEDURE
Depending upon the location and access to air terminals, various types of air flow measuring instruments will be utilized t
the actual air flow at terminals.Assuming adequate access provided, a direct reading balometer would be used which give
reading in volume rather than velocity, which cancels out need for effective grill areas, terminal configuration considerati
velocity corrections.
If access is restricted then a rotating vane anemometer shall be used and the velocity reading obtained would be convert
volume (velocity X free area = volume).
1. Air quantities shall be measured according to CIBSE application Guide 3/89 standard.
2. Any main branch may be chosen to start with but as normal practice and having carried out a rough balance of main an
branches, start with the most remote branch and then sub-branch.
3. Locate the terminal, which is discharging the lowest percentage of its design flow rate.This is generally the last terminal
If not, adjust the damper in the last terminal until it is working with the same percentage as the lowest one previously
4. Measure the flow from the terminal next to the index and work percentage flow as close as possible to that of the inde
Fix the damper in position.
5. Repeat the procedure for the next terminal, again comparing it with the index.
6. As the dampers a close are along the run, more air will be driven towards the downstream terminals and volume of air
discharged at the terminal index will rise. This does not affect the balancing procedure since each terminal being adjus
is related in turn with the index.
7. When all the terminals have been balanced on a sub- branch, each terminal will be running with an equal percentage
design flow rate, within the allowable tolerances.
8. The flow rates at each terminal must be measured and recorded. Once again a summation should be made to check th
check that the total is in reasonable agreement with the measured sub – branch flow.
9. Test result shall be recorded in the approved test sheets and documents.
10. Allowable Tolerance: - +10% of design cfm.

The whole system is subjected to the test pressure by pumping after which the test continues 90 minutes without further pum

1. Start to fill the piping and then ‘walk’ the route of the piping under test, continuously visually checking for leaks and b
for the sound of escaping air.
2. Release air from all the high points systematically through the system to completely fill it with water.
3. Once the system is full, raise the pressure to the test pressure and, if a plastics piping system, continue pumping for th
period.
4. If the pressure falls, check that stop valves are not letting by, then walk the system again for leaks.
5. Once the system is proven sound, have the test witnessed if necessary and obtain a signature on the test certificate.
6. After testing release the pressure. If necessary, ensure that any vents on cylinders, tanks, and pressure-vessels are ope
