WelcomeWelcome to the electronic spreadsheet version for the
ACCAManual D, 3rd Edition (D3) -- Residential Duct Systems, 2008A
thorough understanding of the D3 manual as well as a working
knowledge of MicrosoftExcel are prerequisites for using this
spreadsheet.This spreadsheet uses revised versions of the printed
D3 worksheets.Use the printed D3 manual for guidance to enter
information into the Effective Length,Friction Rate and Duct Sizing
tabs.Microsoft Excel version 97 is the minimum requirement to use
the spreadsheet but MicrosoftExcel version 2000 or greater is
recommended to utilize the full features of the spreadsheet.We
strongly suggest that you print out and read the instructions on
using this electronic spreadsheetthat are contained in the
following Help tab.This spreadsheet can be downloaded from the ACCA
System Design website.ACCA System DesignPlease visit the website
often to check for updates to the spreadsheet. The most recent
versionnumber is listed on Notes tab.

Residential Duct Systems, Third Edition Version 1.xxStep 1:Go to
the Effective Length Tab and enter up to 4 supply runs to determine
the longest equivilent run in the system.Enter the linear feet of
trunk and runout ducts in the length sections for the supply
ducts.Click on the Group Code and find the equivilent feet for all
fittings used in the selected supply runs.The program will
automatically select the "Total Equivilent Feet" to be used in the
Friction Rate Tab.Repeat the steps above for the return ducts.Step
2:Go to the Friction Rate Tab and enter the "External Static
Pressure" and "CFM" for the selected equipment.Next enter
"Component Pressure Losses" for all components and accesories
external of the fan unit.The program will automatically calculate
the "Design Friction Rate" value to be used for Duct Sizing.Step
2:Go to the Duct Sizing 1 Tab and enter the heating and cooling
BTUH for each supply run.There is a maximum of 14 supply runs per
unit.For larger rooms divide the BTUH by the number of runs
required for proper distribution of airflow.The program will
automatically select the duct size for round metal ductwork.For
rectangular metal ductwork enter the height and the program will
automatically select the duct size.If Flex Duct is used refer to
the Equivilent Flex column to select the correct duct size.Under
the supply truck section, select the associated supply runs for
this supply trunk section and the CFM willautomatically
calculate.The program will automatically select the duct size for
round metal ductwork.For rectangular metal ductwork enter the
height and the program will automatically select the duct size.If
Flex Duct is used refer to the Equivilent Flex column to select the
correct duct size.If more than four (4) supply trunk sections are
required select the Duct Sizing 2 Tab.Repeat the steps above for
the return ducts.
