4.11 Planning for Forced Airflow
Monitoring the air-conditioning ducts
Air-conditioning units are broken down into low and high-speed units (see table below). The
details provided in this chapter apply only to low-speed units. There are no adequate empirical
values available for high-speed units. Hence, smoke trials must be executed for air-
conditioning ducts with flow speeds above 10m/s, in order to determine optimal response
behavior.

ducts
Low-speed units High-speed units
Flow speed Maximum 6 to 10 m/s > 10m/s
Duct cross-section Large Small

The speed distribution in an air-conditioning duct appears as follows:
