How to know if a blower will be able to overcome system resistance?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To determine if a blower can overcome system resistance in a rectangular chamber with inclined perforated plates, one must calculate the total system resistance using airflow resistance data specific to perforated plates. The blower's performance curve, which includes static pressure and airflow rate, must be compared against the calculated resistance. Utilizing the resources from Design 1st, particularly the airflow resistance data for perforated plates, is essential for accurate calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of airflow dynamics in HVAC systems
  • Familiarity with blower performance curves
  • Knowledge of static pressure calculations
  • Access to airflow resistance data for perforated plates
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to calculate static pressure in duct systems
  • Study blower performance curves and how to interpret them
  • Learn about airflow resistance calculations specific to perforated plates
  • Explore software tools for HVAC system design and analysis
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, HVAC designers, and anyone involved in optimizing airflow systems in rectangular chambers with perforated plates.

TL;DR
I want to decide which blower to chose while extracting moisture from a chamber. I have calculated the air flow required. I need to maintain minimum velocity of air in the chamber. So I need to know if the blower will be able to overcome the system resistance.
The rectangular chamber contains inclined perforated plates through which the air passes. At the top there is a blower and at the front as well as back bottom there are openings for air inlet. How do I calculate system resistance and know if a certain blower will be able to overcome it?
