Σύνοψη

The purpose of this project is to present the theory around air flow in ducted air systems, and also to elucidate how this theory has been applied for the design of an experimental air ducting unit for air pressure balancing.
A balancing procedure is highly important for ensuring that each branch of the duct system receives the correct (designed) amount of air volume flow rate.
The project is organized in 3 main parts which reflect the approach followed for the completion of this project. The first part is dealing with the presentation and explanation of the theory, which will be put to practice later on. The second part is devoted in the preparation and design of the construction of the experimental unit while the third part denotes the preparation of laboratory instruction sheets for experiments to be carried out with the air ducting unit.
The main conclusions from this project is that although balancing of ducts is a part of a constructional engineer in every day's life it is not appreciated as much as it should. And believe it or not things may not be as they look like to be from the first glance. This is the reason why
an experimental simulating unit is a must for the training of a proper engineer!
