Episode: Friction Rate and Duct Design w/ Dr. Bailes
Description: This episode is very exciting to me because we get to have Dr. Allison Bailes on the show. Today, he shares his knowledge about friction rate and duct design. Allison got his start teaching college-level physics before getting into the building design industry. If you have a forced-air system that blows heated or cooled air through a duct system, that blower creates a pressure difference. Some of the pressure is used up on the filter, registers, and dampers, so you will see pressure drops. Anything left over is the available static pressure, which pushes air through the...
