Ashrae Duct Fitting Database Version 60005 -

Turbulence equals noise. The updated database allows designers to compare the aerodynamic efficiency of different configurations side-by-side. By selecting fittings with lower loss coefficients, you inherently reduce regenerated noise, minimizing the need for costly silencers downstream. Strict Energy Code Compliance

Version 6.00.05 introduced several UI and algorithmic enhancements designed to streamline the workflow for mechanical designers. 1. Expanded Fitting Selection

During the design phase of an air distribution system, engineers must calculate the total pressure drop across the longest or most restrictive duct run (the critical path). This calculation determines the static pressure requirement for the supply, return, or exhaust fans.

: Expanded flexible duct fittings with precise radius-to-diameter ratios ( 2. Equation and Geometry Range Fixes ER2-2 : Repaired underlying fluid mathematical equations. ashrae duct fitting database version 60005

Updates results instantly as input dimensions or flow rates change.

Version 6.00.05 introduced and refined several core functionalities for desktop and cloud users:

Version 6 introduces a redesigned, more efficient user experience. Key improvements include: Turbulence equals noise

: The interface updates results instantly as you enter flow rates and fitting dimensions. Visual Aid : Each fitting includes a pictorial outline for easy identification during the design phase. Project Management

When designing an HVAC system, duct fittings cause turbulence, resulting in pressure losses. Undersized ducts and incorrect fittings can lead to severely restricted airflow, noise issues, and premature system failure. The ASHRAE DFDB aids in:
