Pressure Drop Calcs-VDI2081-1 (2003)

This document outlines calculations for pressure drop across various HVAC components including fresh air louvers, ductwork, hot air louvers, and rain protection fins. It provides base equations, variables, and values used to calculate pressure drop based on factors like length, width, flow rate, velocity, and hydraulic diameter. The purpose is to determine the total system pressure drop and ensure it is within the static pressure available.
