The volumetric flow rate in in fan dilution systems is expressed as:


Volumetric flow rate in fan dilution systems equation

Where:

  • Q is the volumetric flow rate
  • Fn is the fan dilution factor
Fan dilution systems are typically designed and sized to provide a flow velocity of between 6 and 8 m/s. The calculator above aims to select the most appropriate duct from a selection of commonly available and stocked duct sizes.

The duct sizes available are 80, 100, 125, 150, 160, 180, 200, 224, 250, 280, 300, 315, 355, 400, 450, 500, 560, 630, 710, 800, 900, 1000, 1120, 1250, 1320, 1422, 1524, 1600.
