Velocity of air in ducts


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am in process of designing my MHRS and can not decide between size and quantity of the semirigid ducts. As I understand it mainly depends on velocity of air, lower velocity = less noise. What velocity would you recommend? Some sources say that in normal operation it should be below 2.5m/s others say that below 4m/s. Thanks in advance.

Why not get a basic design done, and then work out the difference it would make when upping from one duct to a valve to two ducts. 
I always double up on longer runs to bedrooms or living spaces regardless to reduce the audibility, and also fit attenuators ( silencers ) between the MVHR unit and the manifolds for belt and 3 braces. ;)
