CAPTURE VELOCITY Explained

For HVAC professionals, understanding capture velocity is essential for designing effective ventilation systems that ensure clean air and maintain a healthy environment. But what exactly is capture velocity?

Definition of Capture Velocity
Capture velocity refers to the air velocity necessary to overcome opposing air currents or natural flow, enabling contaminated air, fumes, or materials to flow in a desired direction. Essentially, it is the minimum speed at which air must move to effectively
