INSTRUCTIONS:

5.1 The HVAC duct routing, sizing, and levelling (BOD) to be decided based on
the ITB specification, good engineering practice (ASHRAE & SMACNA
standards) maintainability, constructability and the space available in the
building. Ducting layout to be prepared based on constant friction method.
The air velocity consideration as follows.
8-10m/s in plant room
6-8m/s in main ducting

4-6m/s in branch ducting

The aspect ratio of duct should be less than 1:4. The size of duct can be
customize as per space limitation.

5.2 Fittings
Duct fittings selection should be based on ITB requirement & good
engineering practice.
General fittings for HVAC ducting:

Gas tight Damper:- To prevent outsides hazardous gas enter as fresh air
in the system, Gas tight damper require in the fresh air inlet line.

Volume control Damper: - VCD to be installed to control volume of air in

every branch duct and as well as terminals.

Fire Damper: - Fire Damper to be installed in ducting that crosses any fire
rated wall or plant room wall to prevent fire to spread.

Duct Heater: - Duct Heater to be installed in supply duct for heating of air.

Sound Attenuator: - Sound attenuator shall be selected to maintain desire

room noise level inside the room.

Diffuser, Grille etc: - Grille, diffusers are used to distribute required air in
side the room.

5.3 Routing and Bottom of Duct

Duct routing and BOD of duct should be co-ordinated with all building
services, layout and space availability.

5.4 Insulation and support

Insulation and support of duct to be decided based on ITB specification,
HVAC typical drawings and good engineering practice.

5.5 Access Door in Duct

Access doors to be provided on all required location for easy access to duct
and fittings for operation and maintenance.

5.6.

Project Phases

5.6.1 IDC
Information (layout Dwg.) to be given to other discipline (CSA,
Electrical, Instrumentation, Piping layout etc.) for comments and
considerations.
5.6.2 IFA
Incorporating IDC comments in layout, the drawing to be issued for
approval to Client, Consultant and other discipline.
5.6.3 IFC
Approved layout to be issued to PMC and Client for approval to proceed
construction activities.
