HVAC term for an air compartment connected to a duct or ducts.

Condition that exists when more air is supplied to a space than is exhausted, so the air pressure within that space is greater than that in surrounding areas.  Under this condition, if an opening exists, air will flow from the positively pressurised space into surrounding areas.

In flowing air, the total pressure minus velocity pressure.  The portion of the pressure that pushes equally in all directions.

In flowing air, the sum of the static pressure and the velocity pressure.

In flowing air, the pressure due to the velocity and density of the air.
