AIR BALANCE EQUATIONS

SA = RA + OA = RA + EA + RFA

Where

• SA = Supply Air

• RA = Return Air

• OA = Outside Air

• EA = Exhaust Air

• RFA = Relief Air

If minimum OA (ventilation air) is greater than EA, then the space will be positive pressurized and

OA = EA + RFA

If EA is greater than minimum OA (ventilation air), then the space will be under negative pressure and

OA = EA; RFA = 0

For Economizer Cycle

OA = SA = EA + RFA; RA = 0
