What sort of external static duct pressures typically occur in Mobile/Mfd. Homes ?

Mobile Home furnaces are different from conventional furnaces , due to the increased ESP encountered in Mobile Home duct systems . Has anyone actually checked to see what the ESP was on a Mobile Home duct system ? Im curious to know how much higher they run than the standard

0.5" that typical furnace blower assemblys are designed for. I cannot find Fan Charts for any of the common Mobile Home Furnace Mfgrs . Thanks.

Look again. They are there. Check ACCA's manual J and D for trailer homes. Email Don Steeth in Canada. He put together HVAC-Calc software and that also covers mobile home units. The blowers on those make up any difference.

Yes I have. Your education is not my problem. Necessity is the Mother of invention and a number of other things. I strongly suggest that you do your own research. Anyone here that owns a Decent ductwork manual and/or software has those figures. You want those.. get off your ass and look them up. Try Barnes and Nobles in the Engineering section.

REPLY: If you have actually measured static pressure in a Mobile Home thats a double-wide, then why cant you be helpful by offering up this info ? It has nothing to do 'with my education' ; I simply dont work on Mobile Homes but would like to know. If it is too much of an imposition asking you as a fellow HVAC person, then please dont respond to my post if you have to portray yourself with a big ego and bad attitude which is all too common in this Trade . If you have the opportunity to help someone in the Trade, you should ... instead of causing dissension . What is behind your attitude anyways ?? If its that you are overworked , bit off too much of a house mortgage, and/or have 6 mouths to feed, etc... then please dont take it out on me cause i didnt buy your house or get your wife pregnant. This Trade doesnt need any more cocky people with superiority complexes -- thats whats making the Trade look bad overall and especially to consumers. Please change . Regards.

REPLY: Thanks Zero for the site. The online search i conducted yeilded insufficient info. In paragraph 3, it says .3" ESP and higher is the design criteria ...but, Id like to know what these duct systems typically run in a double wide, 1400 sq. ft. Mobile Home having Two standard : 14x4" trunk ducts with crossover duct with 3.5 tons of Cooling . Have you taken any actual measurements yourself ? I have a feeling it is considerably more than .5" otherwise conventional Home Furnaces would be applied to Mobile Homes too. Thanks .

Conventional home furnaces are *NOT* certified for mobile home use. At least thats what it says in all the installation instructions.

If you want to use a conventional system in a mobile home, your going to have clearance issues, and will have to re design and build new ductwork.

So you said that you don't do mobile homes.... no problem, then you don't need to worry about it anyway. If you *DO* work on trailers, then take the measurements yourself every time you work on one. Just remember that the "normal" ductwork in a trailer will only handle 300cfm per ton, instead of the normal 400cfm.

REPLY: Im not a Consumer. Ive been in this Trade since 1976 . This HVACR trade is very vast and no one knows everything about it...not even you so please dispense with the Ego-trip ; Case in point : Have you ever installed a Robertshaw Pneumatic Enthalpy Selector on an

Do you even know the 3 types of pressures for a common TXV without looking it up ? You shouldnt be in any Trade with your pride and arrogance ; you obviously have some personal issues you need healing on. Im not ashamed to say i dont know what duct static pressures typically run in a Mobile Home , but you should be ashamed for promoting dissension .

REPLY: Im 'not worrying about it' ; Im simply curious . Youre not another arrogant tradesman with a problem like Don, are you ??? Thank you for sharing the nominal 300 cfm per ton criteria . Its a shame you had to include a bunch of guff with it though. Its really a shame a NG like this cant be more civil and a source of help , instead of one thats filled with animosity, pride, arrogance, and the typical "F this / F that" attitude of most . Id like to see such a NG close down .

You're just a HVAC HACK (previously known as HVACFella @webtv) who's has his dumbassed kicked to the curb by the real techs in here for years now. If anyone should be ashamed of anything it's you, for wasting your useless life away worshiping an imaginary sky fairy

A true American... shut down the Second amendment because you walk in uninvited and don't like what you hear. I wonder if we walked into your home and arrogantly demanded that you do our work for for us.. Would you be accommodating or just the crude cretin that you appear to be.

I'm afraid you don't really know. I thought you were pulling my long leg here, but you just really don't know. ROFLMAO If you have taken any NATE or RSES classes on air properties, you'd know the answer. If you haven't taken any courses on this subject, then I'd suggest you do. Simply, if I gave you the answer, you wouldn't know what to do with it in the first place. :) If you did know what to do with the information, then you'd already know the answer.
