The paper is concerned with the procedure for regulating or balancing a ventilation· system, so as to ensure that each outlet supplies or extracts its proper quantity. It deals with methods, organisation instrumentation and recording of results; it also discusses the accuracy required and attainable in ordinary practice. The advocated method of regulating consists of balancing the proportions of air flow at the junctions of a system, dealt with in a routine order, followed by the adjustment of the complete system to design volume by a final setting at the fan.

A Japanese electronics company has developed a new type of gas-to-gas heat exchanger, called the Ductron. The heat exchanger has a simple structure composed of aluminium or stainless steel pass partition plates stacked with a gas passage (1 cm wide) between each plate, Heat exchange duct- Ductron and can be installed as part of an air duct system. It is applicable not only to HVAC systems but also to various industrial applications. The efficiency level is over 5 0%.
