* Wet coil air pressure drop for air entering at 80 °F DB and 67 °F WB over rippled high efficiency fins. Inches of water.
^ Air velocity = CFM divided by coil or filter face area in square feet. See table at top of page 40.
^^ Use face area of large coil to calculate air speed through AHV cabinet and economizer section.
