Small Dtm Multi-Level Town Homes

• QWhy use Silent Duct in tall buildings?
• AStack effect- hot air rises to top floors.
• In Winter, less heating air is needed on top
  floors and more heating air needed on lower
  floors
• In Summer, more cooling air needed on top floors
  and less on lower floors

  problem getting air four floors away

  summer to winter. Dramatically reduces homeowner
  complaints and call backs for builder

Small Dtm Q A

• Is Small Dtm High Velocity?
• NO technical definition exists for High Velocity.
  ASHRAE mentions medium and high pressure, but no
  standard provides a definition to work from.
• Does Small Dtm meet the building code?
• YES BUTSD operates at a pressure above the
  range recognized by residential HRAI sizing
  practices. Just like SpacePak, ESP(Tempmiser) and
  Unico, the system needs to be an Engineered
  design. Follow installation instructions!

Small Dtm Q A

• Isnt high pressure/ High Velocity duct work
  wasteful of energy?
• YES! Pumping air up to 2 of static pressure just
  to distribute air IS wasteful. That is why
• SD operates at 1 maximum pressure
• Eco-duct modulates to lower fan speeds for most
  of the year. The duct only sees high pressure on
  the coldest days of the year, when the full
  capacity of the system is needed. (NO other high
  pressure duct system does this.)

10
Small Dtm Q A

• Can an Ecologix air handler be connected to
  existing 2 branches?
• YES! However, the factory engineers must verify
  the duct design
• Usually requires eco-duct with EC motor
• May require motor up-size
• May require supply mains up-size in basement
