- This video explains how to calculate air flow for commercial air handlers using only a manometer. No need for expensive flow hoods or duct traverse tools. If you're a commercial HVAC technician who performs retro-commisioning or system troubleshooting for AHUs, the information in this video is for you. Calculate air flow the fast, easy, and accurate way!

Excellent explanation and video.
a very nice explanation this air flow calculation. Thanks
Good job thank you for your help
Thanks for your video.
Thanks for the comment Gustavo,
Let us know if there are any HVAC topics you would like us to cover!

Nice training. You make it easy to follow. There are a couple of issues in your content. 1. The static calculation should be a difference calculation 1.5 - (-1) = 2.5 TSP. The second thing is your units on the curve are 1000 so your flow would be 19000 and not 1900. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Good catch Bryan!
You're right, it should be 19000, I'll correct it soon.
I wrote the formula so folks would understand the concept of treating the negative number as a positive.
I really appreciate the feedback!

Nicly explains
I like this video please Make HVAC rekate more videos
Excellent
Thanks!
excellent sir
Many many thanks!
super sir
Sir, where i can get the curve of static pressure vs air flow, cause at the manual production motor, i cant get it
If i have a Fan wall, what RPM' should i use?
I need to measure cfm a rtu or mua do you have a video on that?
wow! they editied out the snarky comment regarding sheave measuring! please add it back
good
Sir, I will use motor-gearbox coupling without using pulley and belt that time how can I calculate the flow rate???
Hi, thanks for the useful training. For the purpose of my research, I am looking for an equation that I can calculate the air pressure drop due to the existence of heating/cooling coils inside the Air Handling Unit. May you please introduce me such an equation if you are aware of it?
1900 cfm / is the chart not starting 5 cFm x 1000? please clear it to me to understand 1900 CFM. thanks
Sir, plz explain pipe GPM calculation.
Can you panel size calculation for ahu, I dedly need it , because I have joined design field help me.
Dear Zen, it's very informative. I'm struggling to find someone who would endorse or second your step 4, in which you mention to measure inside diameter of sheave. I have searched hard on internet and in person to several people they all argue it has to be outside of diameter just as in step 3. Kindly elaborate! Thanks
Good catch! We should have been more specific on step 4. Measure to the back of the belt if it is an adjustable sheave to be sure you are measuring the functional diameter of the sheave.
We really appreciate the question and pointing out how we could have done a better job of explaining!
Respectfully,
Patrick
wht about the propeller size ? Does propeller diameter affect the airflows? Suppose I calculated on how much airflows (m³/s) is needed to cool down a certain system, for example a generator. Now how to select a fan out from it ? The rpm of the fan depends on the rotations of the rotor since it'll be installed on the rotor. How to calculate the proper size of the fan to make this schematic works ?
Hi Sir Patrick,
If my blower is directly coupled to the Fan motor, i will use the Fan motor RPM directly to check the CFM correct?
Thanks
Correct! Thank you for mentioning direct drive fans, I should have pointed that out!
@@ZenHVAC thank you sir, this video really helps a lot for us that is new to HVAC.
looking forward for more videos. :)
1:08 There's an air handler, No kidding... lol
why the static pressure is taken for internal? not like roof top
Great question Ramzy! They use internal static on built-up air handlers because the unit static changes according to the optional components installed (chilled water coil, heating coil, DX coil, filters, etc) so they use the fan's static curve (internal static) instead of having a different curve for every possible option.
Let me know if this helps. Also, what would you like our next video to be about! We'll dedicate it to you!
yeah thank you.
Can you make a video of how PICV works and other valves
Great idea! We'll have it for you in a few weeks!
A sheave is a type of pulley. Still a pulley.
You are correct! Like a Battle Ship and the Queen Marry are both ships, but different. In the days of old, a pulley was for a flat belt, and sheaves were pulleys for V-belts.

I summarize so the doctor analyzes help me!
I think the designer has made a mistake. If so please help me get one correct answer. Thank you very much!
This is my email

it should be 19000 sir
I'm from Mangalore india
You are correct! I miss spoke during the recording.
I'm a Hvac designer
1900 cfm / is the chart not starting 5 cFm x 1000? please clear it to me to understand 1900 CFM. thanks
