Changing Exhaust Minimum

Siemens Industry, Inc. Start-up Procedures 140-1321

NOTE:
If you set DISPLAY RES to zero, the Operator Display Panel will “freeze” at the face
velocity setpoint FVEL STPT. Resetting DISPLAY RES to a value other than zero
displays the face velocity incrementally. The factory default is 5, fpm values display in
increments of 5. For example, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, and so on. If the actual filtered fpm
is 84, 85 will be displayed.
Changing Exhaust Minimum
The actual value for this point should be found on a schedule included with the
mechanical drawings for the job or from the Siemens job submittal.
The value of EXH MIN should be changed to a flow minimum as desired.
NOTE:
When controlling at a duct velocity less than 350 fpm (1.778 m/s), duct velocity
measurement errors will increase.
The equation relating airflow to air velocity is: Airflow (cfm) to Velocity (fpm) × Duct
Area (sq. ft.) × Flow Coefficient.
For best results: Airflow ÷ (Duct Area × Flow Coefficient) should be > 350.
Example
FLOW MIN ÷ [DUCT AREA × FLO COEF] > 350
Changing Exhaust Maximum
The actual value for this point should be found on a schedule included with the
mechanical drawings for the job or from the Siemens job submittal.
The default EXH MAX is 3500 cfm (1651.65 lps). The value of EXH MAX should be
changed flow maximum as desired.
NOTE:
Do not use a duct velocity less than 350 fpm (1.778 m/s), duct velocity measurement
errors will occur at duct velocities less than 350 fpm (1.778 m/s).
The equation relating airflow to air velocity is: Airflow (cfm) to Velocity (fpm) × Duct
Area (sq. ft.) × Flow Coefficient.
