Induction Ratio Question

3 posts / 0 new
Last post

The eQuest Help menu states:

INDUCTION-RATIO
For IU systems only, the ratio of induced air flow to primary air flow. This
entry is applicable to the IU system type, but not to the variable-ratio
ceiling induction units used for subzone temperature control (SZCI system
type), which have a preprogrammed value of 1.0. The value input for
INDUCTION-RATIO applies to all zones in the system.

Can anyone tell me where to enter the Induction Ratio?

Thank you,

Paul,

You can modify the Induction Ratio on the Systems -> Fans -> Flow Parameters tab for each IU system. IU systems have an INDUCTION-RATIO of 3.0 by default.

Thanks Bill, I found it after I posted. My eyes weren't open this morning.
