Air Flow Values

Hi Revit MEP community

 

I am creating an air flow  schematic layout in Revit 2016 and have all 3 floors of ductwork showing correct values however just 1 extract fan I am using is coming out with no airflow at all even though the connections and values have been set up correctly.

 

The system comprises of 6 return air valves connected to a fan which extract to the roof

 

The settings are as follows: 

 

Air Valves

RETURN AIR

PRESET

OUT

 

FAN CONNECTION 1 (FROM AIR VALVES)

 

RETURN AIR

CALCULATED

IN

PARAMETER ADDED TO AIR FLOW  'CALLED FLOW'

 

FAN CONNECTION 2 (FROM AIR VALVES)

 

RETURN AIR

PRESET

OUT

FLOW PARAMETER ADDED TO AIR FLOW 

 

Any ideas would be appreciated as this is becoming very irritating. (I have attached a partial screen shot showing problem)

 

Thanks in advance

I tried your suggestion and it worked thanks very much. 

 

I don't understand why this is the case but it definitely works
