What is Pa (Static Pressure), and how does it different than CFM?
• Statis pressure (measured in Pa) is a unit of measurement used to describe the power to move air at one point. It also means how strong a range hood is in exhausing the cooking fats, grease, steam and odors out of your kitchen. • Comparing Pa to CFM is very similar to comparing an 18-wheeler to a sport car. A slower 18-wheeler with greater horsepower can haul a heavy trailer, whereas a speedy sport car can move very fast but lacks the horsepower to haul a heavy trailer. Range hoods are similar, both high Pa (horsepower) and CFM (speed) are required to exhaust large amount of cooking fats, grease, steam and odors particles out of your kitchen.
