Exhaust System Requirements
The exhaust system must be capable of moving the following volumes of exhaust air at
the negative pressures listed. The Airflow Volumes are the values recorded via direct
measurement using a flow hood at the front opening of the cabinet. The Concurrent
Balance Values are measured in the exhaust duct via traverse methodology, and will
always be higher due to differences in volume measurement methodologies.
