See if here is already damper on that closed area 2 and needs to be opened. If you close all registers on zone 1 does zone 2 gets more air?
Airflow only goes to one bedroom
Hi All! I'm new to this forum. I have some DIY experience but little in the way of creating or altering ducts. I wanted to get a second opinion here on what I need to do to fix my airflow discrepancy between rooms. Below I am attaching a HVAC
drawing of my apartment. The red lines are covering an air handler that seems to work fine. The second air handler is where I have problems. I would say that about 90% of the airflow travels and exits through the branch marked number 1. and 10% of the airflow is split in between the two number 2's. A few additional problems with this airflow discrepancy is that the thermostat is in a room that gets air flow from duct number 1 and the room that gets air from duct 2 is facing east with large windows and with the door closed in the morning and during the day that room can be 10-20 degrees warmer than the rooms fed by duct 1. I think the problem is that branch 1 is too close to the end of the main duct and does not create any back pressure so all the airflow goes to duct 1. My Idea is to place a damper at the beginning of duct 1 to create backpressure and airflow for all the other branches. Will this be a good idea?
Thank you for all the help, everybody.
