4 1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS A. Systems Operation: Systems shall be fully operational prior to beginning procedures. PART 2 PRODUCTS Not Used PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES FOR AIR SYSTEM BALANCING A. Before operating the system, perform these steps: 1. Obtain design drawings and specifications and become thoroughly acquainted with the design intent. 2. Obtain copies of approved shop drawings of all air handling equipment, outlets (supply, return, and exhaust) and temperature control diagrams. 3. Compare design to installed equipment and field installations. 4. Walk the system from the system air handling equipment to terminal units to determine variations of installation from design. 5. Check filters for cleanliness. 6. Check dampers for correct and locked position, and temperature control for completeness of installation before starting fans. 7. Prepare report test sheets for both fans and outlets. Obtain manufacturer's outlet factors and recommended procedures for testing. Prepare a summation of required outlet volumes to permit a crosscheck with required fan volumes. 8. Determine best locations in main and branch ductwork for most accurate duct traverses. 9. Place outlet dampers in the full open position. 10. Prepare schematic diagrams of system "as-built" ductwork and piping layouts to facilitate reporting. 11. Lubricate all motors and bearings. 12. Check fan belt tension. 13. Check fan rotation. 14. Report to Architect/Engineer any defects or deficiencies noted during performance of services. 15. Promptly report abnormal conditions in mechanical systems or conditions, which prevent system balance. 16. Beginning of work means acceptance of existing conditions. 3.2 MEASUREMENTS A. Provide all required instrumentation to obtain proper measurements, calibrated to the tolerances specified in the referenced standards. Instruments shall be properly maintained and protected against damage. B. Provide instruments meeting the specifications of the referenced standards. C. Use only those instruments which have the maximum field measuring accuracy and are best suited to the function being measured. D. Apply instrument as recommended by the manufacturer. E. Use instruments with minimum scale and maximum subdivisions and with scale ranges proper for the value being measured. TESTING, ADJUSTING, AND BALANCING
5 F. When averaging values, take a sufficient quantity of readings which will result in a repeatability error of less than 5 percent. When measuring a single point, repeat readings until 2 consecutive identical values are obtained. G. Take all reading with the eye at the level of the indicated value to prevent parallax. H. Use pulsation dampeners where necessary to eliminate error involved in estimating average of rapidly fluctuation readings. I. Take measurements in the system where best suited to the task. 3.3 PERFORMING TESTING, ADJUSTING, AND BALANCING ON AIR SYSTEMS A. Perform testing, adjusting and balancing procedures on each system identified in drawing, in accordance with the detailed procedures outlined in the referenced standards except as may be modified below. B. In areas containing ceilings, remove ceiling tile to accomplish balancing work. Replace tile when work is complete and provide new tile for any tile that was damaged by this procedure. If the ceiling construction is such that access panels are required for the work of this section and the panels have not been provided, inform the owner representative. C. In air systems employing filters, blank off sufficient filter area to simulate a pressure drop that is midway between that of a clean filter and that of a dirty filter. D. Test and Balance Contractor shall set outlets/diffusers flow rate (volume) by adjusting dampers installed in the ductwork. Do not use volume dampers that are integral with the outlets/diffusers to set outlet/diffuser volume. E.
