NOTES:
Static pressure is minimum pressure drop through the unit for given airflow.

- Denotes unit within 5 dB of background in test room for sound power level.

NC ratings are for terminal units without additional attenuation in low velocity duct.

GGC recommends that a balancing damper be installed three (3) feet upstream from inlet of the terminal unit to
avoid excessive pressure where required. r
Full shut off can be attempt by all units except for units with pressure independent controls "range" is needed.

Add heater pressure drop with above static pressure for units with heater from our Air Velocity-Vs-Pressure
drop graph (see page 22-09).

SELECTION OF CONFIGURATION FOR STANDARD OUTLET ARRANGEMENT I EXTENDED
PLENUM (MULTI-DISCHARGE ADAPTOR)

Select the dimension for required diameter (round collar) or equivalent dimension of oval collar from the
standard dimension outlet table.

Add 2" to the diameter of round outlet orto the width of oval outlet.

Compute the number of outlets required on one surface by further a gap of 2" in between the collars.

The result must be less than or equal to the available unit length for side outlets orwidth for end outlets.

Available unit length without extended plenum is found by subtracting 12" from standard unit length and
available unitwidth is full unit width.

Also the outlet diameter of round collar or height of oval collar should be 2" less than the total unit height.
If side outlets chosen exceeds the above dimensions allowed then an extended plenum (multi discharge
adaptor) is required.

Extended plenums (multi discharge adaptors) are available from 12" increment to a maximum of 48".

If unit has optional control panel, side outlets on unit control panel side are not allowed without multi discharge
adaptor i.e. extended plenum.

Since an electric duct heater has a constant BTU And has to be compared with the minimum airflow
output as long as the heater is energized, a velocity through the electric heater based on
minimum air velocity must be maintained through discharge duct area (Ft.2). The minimum uniform

temperature causing nuisance tripping and will air temperature and consideration must be given to
maintain element life expectancy. The velocity of both the airflow across the heater and the inlet air

Divide the total watts by square footage of duct
