Variation in maximum airflow – Carrier MODULINE 37HS User Manual
Page 72
Variation in Maximum Airflow —
As explained in
the Terminal Selection and Layout section, Moduline
units
in air series can be controlled individually with a volume
controller at each unit, or with a master/slave combination,
where one controller is used with multiple units. All
the units on one controller must be of the same model
(capacity).
In master/slave combinations, some variation in maxi-
mum airflow among the terminals in air series will occur.
The variation in maximum airflow is a function of the unit
plenum size, the model, and the number of units in an air
series on one controller. Table 17 shows the expected varia-
tion from the unit with the smallest airflow to the unit with
the largest airflow.
For single units with controller, the cfm variation from
the lever setting is ± 10%.

*Values shown are based on a typical short, straight duct run be-
tween units. Variation shown may be affected if there are excessive
duct pressure losses between units.
NOTE: The variation value shown in Table 17 for a given number of
units of a certain model size (capacity) is the same for all size ple-
nums used in an air series of recommended combinations for that
model size. Thus, 3 units of model size 37HS2, plenum size 9 x 9, will
have a maximum variation of 30 cfm; 3 units, plenum sizes 9 x 9 (2)
and 7 x 7 (1) will also have a maximum variation of 30 cfm. A dash
indicates that the quantity of a particular plenum size is not recom-
mended in air series for that unit size.
