Checking Supply Air CFM
To check the supply air CFM after the initial balancing has been
completed:
1.Remove the two ¼ inch dot plugs in the duct panel.
2.Insert at least 8 inches of ¼ inch tubing into each of these
holes for sufficient penetration into the airflow on both sides of
the indoor coil.
3.Using an inclined manometer, determine the pressure drop
across the dry evaporator coil. Since the moisture on an evapo
-
rator coil may vary greatly,measuring the pressure drop across
a wet coil under field conditions would be inaccurate. To ensure
a dry coil, thecompressorsshouldbedeactivatedwhilethetest
is being run.
4.Knowing the pressure drop across a dry coil, the actual CFM
through the unit can be determined from the curve in Coil Delta
P vs. Supply Air CFM figure.

NOTE: De-energize the compressors before taking any test
measurements to ensure a dry indoor coil.
