Ductulator + Perforated Poly

Size the backbone duct first, then tune greenhouse perforated discharge only after the fundamentals are right.

Primary workflow

Comprehensive ductulator

Use equal-friction and target-velocity methods to select practical round and rectangular ducts, then check an existing candidate against the design target.

    Perforated poly duct design

    Use the selected backbone duct and fan to estimate greenhouse discharge behavior station-by-station, then iterate the hole pattern and canopy model.

    Still in active testing. This perforated poly model is useful, but it is still being validated and calibrated against broader CFD and field cases.
