ASHRAE 62.2 VERIFICATION
THERE IS A MANDATE TO INSPECT & TEST
 Necessary ducting for existing fans must be properly installed to bring air into or
out of the dwelling.
 Fan controls, like the one shown at right, must be installed to insure proper run
times.
Slide content from ASHRAE 62.2 for WAP.DOE
WHY IS MEASURING AIRFLOW SO HARD?
 It’s invisible!
 Air flow in a duct is usually really turbulent; where you sense the airflow might not
the right place
30 FEET OFF THE GROUND IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO
MEASURE AIRFLOW!
If you can’t measure it, how
is anyone going to clean it?
BASIC MATH
 Velocity (FPM) X Area (Sq..)= CFM
 Ways to detect velocity
o Hot Wire anemometer
o Pitot Tube
o Vane anemometer
HOT WIRE ANEMOMETER
VANE ANEMOMETER
EFFECTIVE AREA: AK: CORE AREA, OR ALL SORT OF THE
SAME SPECIFICATION
Gross area =
24 sq inches
or 24/144=
.17 Sq. Ft
Effective
area is
only .102
Sq Ft.
VANE ANEMOMETER WITH HOOD
FLOW HOODS DO THE MATH FOR YOU
 They still detect velocity by:
o Hot wire anometers
o Pitot tubes
o Propellers
 They also know the area
PRESSURE DROP BETWEEN TWO PLACES IN A DUCT
Mass flow in air can be calculated if you know the pressure drop across the pipe.
Then it can be calculated using Darcy's Equation for Pressure, which is:

P2-P1 = (4fLv*v)/d*2*g

where,

P2 & P1 are pressures at two points in pipe,

f = friction factor,

L= length of pipe,

v = velocity of fluid,

d = diameter of pipe,

g = gravity.

filter
2.

installed)

If only 1 SP probe, add the 2
values together
Measurements close to design
value, usually 0.5” W.C, indicate
good duct design if the blower
speed is set correctly.

WHAT'S WRONG HERE?
WHAT'S WRONG HERE?
SUPPLY SIDE VENTILATION
These systems are designed to bring in air through a duct to the outside. When operating, they turn
on the air handler, open a damper in the duct to outside. In some cases, they may turn on a remote
fan. In almost all cases, they track fan time for heating and cooling and activate only when extra
run time is needed to meet a ventilation standard.
CONTROLLERS
 Two basic types:
1.
Non-programmable (you do the math)
o April Aire
o Clock timers (supply side systems must use air handlers with EM if
these systems are used)
2.
Programmable (they do the math)
o Smart thermostats
o Honeywell W1850
o Tamarack fan controllers
APRILAIRE CONTROLLER
 Does not keep track of air handler run time;
must be used in connection with ECM air handler
SET ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
These last two terminals must have either an outdoor temp sensor, or the blue “time only
resistor”. They can also be connected with a jumper wire. If nothing connects the two
terminals, the controller will not operate.

AIRCYCLER FR-V - KEEP TRACK OF AIR HANDLER RUN-TIME
NOTE: The FR model does not open a damper
SETTING THE FAN ON TIME
 Press the MODE key once to enter setup mode
o FAN ON will flash on the display
 To change the FAN ON time, use the INCREASE or DECREASE
buttons
o Set the number of minutes between 1 and 199, or select “un” for
unlimited operation
SETTING THE FAN OFF TIME
 To set the delay after the last heating or cooling operation, press the Mode key
again. FAN OFF will flash on the display.
 As above, set the number of minutes between 1 and 199.
 Press the Mode key one last time to return to normal operation or for the FR-V
model, proceed to VENT settings.
Note: In humid climates, the FAN OFF time should be at least 6 minutes. This avoids
moisture re-evaporation from the coil and condensation in cold supply ducts.
SETTING THE VENT TIMES
Press the MODE key until VENT ON flashes

Increase or decrease the number of minutes to open the outside air damper
when the fan is on

Press MODE again, VENT OFF will flash

Increase or decrease the number of minutes to close the damper after the
VENT ON time as elapsed
THE HONEYWELL WHOLE HOUSE VENTILATION
CONTROLLER W8150 DOES THE MATH!
THIS CONTROLLER WILL CALCULATE FAN RUN TIME NEED
TO MEET VARIOUS VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
SET VENTILATION STANDARD
To meet ASHRAE 62.2 the
upper dip switch must be
moved to the right and the
lower dip switch to the left
FRONT SWITCH
ON: The controller will
operate the system as
programed
OVERIDE: Will turn the
system on regardless of
programing
OFF: Will not turn air
handler on, will not
open damper, it will turn
on a remote exhaust fan

COMPLIANCE INDICATOR LIGHTS
o
Flashing Green light indicates
compliance with chosen
standard
o
Flashing Red indicates non-compliance with
chosen standard
PROGRAMMABLE EXHAUST FANS

Strong ECM fans

Efficient motors, less than
10 watts

Designed to run continually


CFM SELECTION

The time switch only refers to the length of time the fan runs when a high demand
for ventilation is detected, either through a motion sensor or a manual call
