How to use it

  1. Convert flow rate: 200 m³/h ÷ 3600 = 0.0556 m³/s
  2. Calculate cross-section libre: 0.0556 ÷ 2.0 = 0.0278 m²
  3. Determine lado square: √(0.0278) × 100 = 16.7 cm
  4. Normalizar a measurements comerciales: 20×20 cm
  5. Estimate alcance of the chorro: √(0.0278) × 10 = 1.7 m

Common mistakes

  • ⚠️ Speed of cara excesiva in impulsión — >2.5 m/s generates ruido and corrient is molestas
  • ⚠️ Confusing area libre with area total — the area libre is ~70-80% of the area frontal
  • ⚠️ Not considering the alcance of the chorro — in techos altos need difusor is ajustables

Worked example

Calculate grill is and diffusers needed for 0.8 m3/s airflow.

Sección libre: {area_libre_m2} m². Rejilla normalizada: {tamano_rejilla_cm} cm. Alcance of the chorro: {alcance_m} m.
