iZone Design Considerations
- Alex Murphy
OVERVIEW
All ducted air conditioning systems should have a percentage of air passing over the indoor coil at all times
This is a safety mechanism to protect the ductwork and the AC unit
If all the zone dampers in a system are closed then flexible duct could split or be blown off the spigots, or the indoor coil could ice up
It is much less likely for the coils to ice up on modern AC units as they have in-built safety controls to prevent this occurring, but it is still good practice to ensure airflow across the coil
There are several ways of achieving this when designing a ducted air conditioning system
The final choice is the designers responsibility and this manual only suggests various options that can be used
Some options to achieve to ensure constant airflow across the indoor coil are detailed below:
Standard Electronic Constant Zone
Dedicated Electronic Constant Zone
Bypass Electronic Constant Zone
