AIR BALANCE
Start the supply air blower motor.  Adjust the resistances in both the supply and the return air duct systems to balance the air
distribution throughout the conditioned space.  The job specifications may require that this balancing be done by someone other
than the equipment installer.
CHECKING AIR QUANTITY
METHOD ONE
1.
Remove the dot plugs from the duct panel (for location of 
the dot plugs see Figure 10).
2.
Insert eight-inches of 1/4 inch metal tubing into the air-
flow on both sides of the indoor coil.
NOTE:
The tubes must be inserted and held in a position
perpendicular to the air flow so that velocity pres-
sure will not affect the static pressure readings.
3.
Use an Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic to determine 
the pressure drop across a dry evaporator coil. Since the 
moisture on an evaporator coil can vary greatly, measur-
ing the pressure drop across a wet coil under field condi-
tions could be inaccurate. To assure a dry coil, the 
compressors should be de-activated while the test is 
being run.
NOTE:
De-energize the compressors before taking any test
measurements to assure a dry evaporator coil.
4.
The CFM through the unit can be determined from the 
pressure drop indicated by the manometer by referring to 
Figure 23. In order to obtain an accurate measurement, 
be certain that the air filters are clean.
5.
To adjust Measured CFM to Required CFM, see ’SUP-
PLY AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT’
.
6.
After readings have been obtained, remove the tubes 
and replace the dot plugs.
METHOD TWO
1.
Drill two 5/16 inch holes, one in the return air duct as 
close to the inlet of the unit as possible, and another in 
the supply air duct as close to the outlet of the unit as 
possible.
2.
Using the whole drilled in step 1, insert eight inches of 
1/4 inch metal tubing into the airflow of the return and 
supply air ducts of the unit.
NOTE:
The tubes must be inserted and held in position per-
pendicular to the airflow so that velocity pressure
will not affect the static pressure readings.
3.
Use an Inclined Manometer or Magnehelic to determine 
the pressure drop across the unit. This is the External 
Static Pressure (ESP). In order to obtain an accurate 
measurement, be certain that the air filters are clean.
4.
Determine the number of turns the variable motor 
sheave is open.
5.
Select the correct blower performance table for the unit 
from Tables 17 - 28. Tables are presented for horizontal 
and downflow configuration.
6.
Determine the unit Measured CFM from the Blower Per-
formance Table, External Static Pressure and the num-
ber of turns the variable motor sheave is open.
7.
To adjust Measured CFM to Required CFM, see ’SUP-
PLY AIR DRIVE ADJUSTMENT’.
8.
After reading has been obtained, remove the tubes and 
seal holes.
NOTE:
With the addition of field installed accessories
repeat this procedure.
