Suction vs. Pressure
We are working with a 3500 cfm fan through intake ducting in a refrigeration setting. I have always been told that the intake side is more potentially limited and should be 1. sized correctly and 2. smooth to allow for better flow.
I am assuming that it is easier to force the air through a duct system than pull it and hence our efforts so far have been on the intake side.
Just how important is suction compared to discharge?
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Suction vs. Pressure
The inlet side of a fan unit should provide a free and direct flow of air into the fan. Also the type of fan used can influence things.
The entire duct system should be designed properly and carefully.
