APR 218A - Apprenticeship / Duct Design

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): Registered Apprentice with the South Central Oregon Sheet Metal JATC.

Course Description: The course will assist the apprentices to design duct systems to carry the air volume needed while maintaining static pressure and velocities while minimizing air turbulence. Topics included: Calculating cubic footage; Calculating area; Calculating air flow; Duct design.

Course Level: Career/Tech Apprenticeship

Course Learning Outcomes:

CLO#1: Measure and calculate the cubic footage of an area to be conditioned.
CLO#2: Calculate areas of a structure.
CLO#3: Calculate the cubic feet per minute of air necessary to condition the area based on cubic footage, heat gain/loss and desired air exchanges per hour.
CLO#4: Design a duct system to carry the air volume needed while maintaining static pressures and velocities minimizing air turbulence. (ILO: Information Literacy)
