2. Air-mixing plenum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-mixing_plenum

   The most common application for an air-mixing plenum is the mixing of return air (or extract air) with fresh air to provide a supply air mixture for onward distribution to the building or area which the ventilation system is serving. [1] The air transferred from the return air stream to the supply air stream is termed recirculated air.

3. Pressurisation ductwork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurisation_ductwork

   The purpose of pressurisation ductwork is to maintain positive pressure in building spaces to prevent smoke from entering from other spaces in which a fire is occurring. It is typically used in exit stairways, corridors, and lobbies.

4. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

   The needed airflows include, for example, supply air, return air, and exhaust air. [1] Ducts commonly also deliver ventilation air as part of the supply air. As such, air ducts are one method of ensuring acceptable indoor air quality as well as thermal comfort. A duct system is also called ductwork.

5. Forced-air - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced-air

   The return plenum carries the air from several large return grills (vents) to a central air handler for re-heating. The supply plenum directs air from the central unit to the rooms which the system is designed to heat. Regardless of type, all air handlers consist of an air filter, blower, heat exchanger/element/coil, and various controls.

6. Blower door - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blower_door

   This pressure difference forces air through all holes and penetrations in the building enclosure. The tighter the building (e.g. fewer holes), the less air is needed from the blower door fan to create a change in building pressure. Typically, only depressurization testing is performed, but both depressurization and pressurization are preferable.

7. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

   Duct leakage test in the US. A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the airtightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.
