Airflow Application Guidelines
ActronAir Active systems are designed and engineered to provide ideal air conditioning and to achieve maximum energy
efficiency. It has a wide range of fan limit which allows customised three speed fan setting based on required airflow.
The following are some recommendations to make this system work to its optimum design.
Duct Static Pressure
The ideal system design is for a duct with a External Static pressure of 125Pa. This design static for the system allows for the
optimal combination for duct sizing and energy efficiency of the system.
Recommended Return Air Duct Sizes
There are set parameters for sizing and design of both final duct (from the last take off to the outlet) and return air duct
and fittings. The following duct sizes are based on a maximum final duct air velocity of 2.5 m/s and a maximum return air
velocity of 2 m/s.
Other Recommendations are:
•Main duct velocity is recommended to be within 6-7 m/s.
•Branch duct velocity is recommended to be up to 2.5m/s.

EVA17AS / EFA17AS 890 710 4 x 300 or 6 x 250 2 x 400
*These sizes are subjected to changes with the site requirements ensure supply airflow should not be lower then the
minimum requirement.
NOTE
• Above values are designed to minimize noise generation at supply air outlet at minimum supply air flow.
• The above are the minimum requirements to maintain system unit operation and performance. Where minimum air flow
requirement is not obtained errors and/or performance issues may arise.
When an air balance is carried out, it is recommended that the airflow is adjusted at the branch take off points for each
outlet instead of using the balancing blades at the supply air outlet. This will also reduce noise at the supply air outlet/grille
and eliminate any excessive static pressure across the outlet.
NOTE
Supply and Return Air Plenums must be as per ActronAir Plenums or equal to, or lower static pressure.

Return Air Grille Sizes
Careful consideration is to be given to pressure drops through return air grilles, air filters and crimped or tight bends in
duct. Grille sizes shown are based on a velocity of 2.5 m/s, sizes shown are free area, please ensure your suppliers are aware
of these requirements.

**Minimum return air grille sizes(free area) based on return air velocity between 2-2.5m/s.
NOTE
To achieve maximum airflow you may need to up size your return air grille one size larger than our Recommended Return Air
Grilles shown above.
Care must be taken to identify return air paths for each zone for minimal static. This may include undercut doors or
additional return air duct and grilles.
Other Guidelines
•Larger master bedrooms or parents retreats may have privacy issues with undercut doors, so a separate return duct or
transfer duct may be needed. The use of walk in robes for positioning of return air grilles allows for a better finish.
•Special attention may also be required in home theaters where rooms are sealed for noise breakout. A dedicated return
air duct with zone barrel linked to the supply air zone barrel is recommended.
•Small critical areas such as a study, which are below the minimum air flow and duct sizing, would need to be coupled on
the same zone as with another area.
•Dual Master controllers are also recommended for two story homes or larger single story homes.
