At AirPro, one of the most common questions we get from our customers is: How can I reduce static pressure in my system?

Why Static Pressure Matters

If you’re running a fan, your goal is to move air efficiently through your system. Static pressure is the resistance that stands in the way of achieving higher mass flow or volumetric flow. The lower your static pressure, the more air you can move with the same fan and power.

Fan Optimization

When customers ask us how to reduce static pressure, the first place we look is the fan itself and its immediate connections. Optimizing the inlet and outlet flow can make a significant difference. Clean, unobstructed flow into the inlet and well-developed flow off the outlet help minimize system effect and reduce resistance.

Beyond the Fan: System Optimization

But what if you’ve already optimized your fan connections and still face high static pressure? That’s when it’s time to look at the rest of your system. Factors like duct size, the design of pickup points and other system elements can all contribute to pressure issues.

If you’ve already ensured good flow in and out of your fan but still have pressure issues, it’s likely time to consult with a system specialist. We’re happy to connect you with one of our trusted partners who can help you tackle more complex system-wide airflow challenges.
