how a hall is dimensioned.

Pressure loss
Pressure loss of the header pair including

Pressure loss in Pa
The drop in pressure of Zehnder ZIP
radiant ceiling panels is calculated as 6000
a total of the pressure drop for the
row of pipes and the drop in pressure
in the connections between the 5000
register and the piping. When using
Zehnder volume flow controllers, the
additional drop in pressure of the 4000
volume flow controllers should be
added to this.
