Balancing Steps
2
a. Measure pressure differential across the EXHAUST air stream high and low ports using a
Magnehelic gauge or other pressure gauge.
b. Measure pressure differential across the FRESH air stream high and low ports using a
Magnehelic gauge or other pressure gauge.
c. Look up corresponding air flows from the pressure-airflow correlation table.
d. Adjust airflows to a balanced condition by adjusting blower motor speeds.
e. Usually the blower with more airflow is adjusted to the lower blower airflow rate.
f. Motor adjustments are described in previous section.
