MAM 11 - Using & Interpreting Static Pressure to Ensure Air Flow

Monday, April 23, 2007  ·  8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Airflow is a critical component in HVAC performance. Achieving sufficient airflow is crucial to ensuring efficiency, low maintenance, reduced callbacks, and comfort. Static pressure is a vital diagnistic tool that can tell you a lot about how a system is performing and why it may be having problems. Learn how duct layout, fittings, filters, and grilles affect airflow. Discover how to measure static pressure and, more importantly, how to interpret it.
 
By attending this session, participants will
 
  1. Be able to conduct an external static pressure test
  2. Learn how to interpret pressure drops across coils, filters, and other devices
  3. Find out how to use airflow measurement devices
