Duct Design
The purpose of air conditioning ductwork is
to deliver air from the fan to the diffusers
which distribute the air to the room.
Air Moves Through the Ductwork in
Response to a Pressure Difference Created
by the Fan
The objective of duct design is to size the
duct so as to minimize the pressure drop
through the duct, while keeping the size
(and cost) of the ductwork to a minimum.
