What Is a Venturi Valve?

Posted by Antec Controls on April 12, 2022 at 9:37 AM

Precise and Accurate Airflow Control

Venturi valves are devices designed to control airflow for room pressurization and fume hood air containment. They are most often used in spaces that require precise and accurate airflow control, protecting occupants from hazardous airborne gases and particles through proper ventilation.

VAV Diffusers in High Performance Air Systems

Posted by Price Industries on August 11, 2020 at 12:04 PM

Creating Comfort, Efficiency and Sustainability with VAV Diffusers

High performance air systems demand modern design approaches with leading-edge
products and technology in order to optimize comfort and reduce energy consumption. A
comfortable environment is achieved by providing the smallest possible zones of temperature
control, allowing for individual temperature distribution and better air movement. Reduction
in energy is realized by designing a low-pressure HVAC system that allows for maximum
turn-down while maintaining temperatures.

What is System Effect?

Posted by Price Industries on September 10, 2019 at 9:47 AM
In duct design and installation, system effect is the generation of higher than expected pressure drops through changes in duct direction or geometry. It can also be caused by improper installation of  fittings, which result in excessive, unanticipated turbulence in the airflow. In short, system effect is the installed pressure drop which is different from the design pressure drop.
