Duct Insulation
Duct Insulation
(OP)
Hello!
I am looking for practical information regarding how to determine the duct insulation thickness for an air handler duct system. The information I have found so far is ambiguous since it determines the heat loss per foot for insulated and an uninsulated duct but the thickness is an input and not a result.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Duct Insulation
Otherwise, Ashrae Handbook - Fundamentals has some suggestions on how you can go about estimating required insulation amounts to avoid condensation etc.
RE: Duct Insulation
"R" = 1/C x thickness
"K" = Conductance =(Btu/Hr.Sq.Ft.*F)
RE: Duct Insulation
so u can check on www.enginneringtoolbox.com for related insulation thickness for variuos types and application
and u should also check the insitue of american insulation i forgot the web site mabe www.naima.org it has a lot of info on codensation control
