Custom Perforated Airflow Panels for Local HVAC Installer Prototypes: Improving Measurement Accuracy

Custom Perforated Airflow Panels for Local HVAC Installer Prototypes: Improving Measurement Accuracy

In mid-2024, a regional HVAC installer in Toronto, Canada, encountered recurring inconsistencies during airflow testing of new duct systems. Inspired by a Melbourne case study (Read the Melbourne case here), they upgraded their prototypes with custom perforated airflow panels to stabilize readings and enhance dust control.

Why Custom Perforated Panels Are Effective

Unlike solid panels, custom-perforated panels offer:

• Consistent Air Distribution: Ensures even airflow across sensors.

• Integrated Particle Control: Captures larger debris before it reaches filters.

• Reusable Design: Withstands multiple prototype iterations without warping.

For ventilation measurement guidelines, see ASHRAE Handbook – Fundamentals and International Journal of Ventilation – Taylor & Francis.

Case Study: Toronto HVAC Testing Rig

Before using perforated panels, fluctuating airflow measurements often led to false adjustments in duct design. After installing stainless perforated airflow panels at both intake and exhaust points, the team achieved:

• 15% improvement in airflow measurement repeatability.

• 35% reduction in particulate buildup on secondary filters.

• Reduced prototype recalibration time by 20%.
