HVAC units are designed to move a specific volume of air at the correct speed based on the unit's capacity. However, it is important to understand the relationship between the equipment's related capacity to generate air flow and the actual ability of air to flow through the system. When an HVAC system's ducting is not installed properly or is blocked or damaged, energy consumption increases while performance decreases. Poorly designed and implemented ducting causes the HVAC system to work harder while providing less airflow.

The Ducting and Air Movement for HVAC Systems training course explains the important role ducting plays in the HVAC system's ability to provide maximum airflow. It identifies common HVAC airflow issues related to poorly implemented ducting. This online course focuses on:

• HVAC fundamentals
• Airflow through the HVAC system
• Ducting and airflow basics
• Standard ducting components
• Common ducting airflow issues

Ducting and Air Movement for HVAC Systems is part of the Heating & Cooling Fundamentals training series.
