This is a follow up question to one that I asked herehere.
I am measuring the total pressure at the registers (all registers are open) with the BMP180 pressure sensor and somehow they don't change very much when the system turns on. Logically, I would expect:
- Static pressure increases since there is more air immediately after the air handler (correct me if I'm wrong on this one)
- Dynamic pressure increases since there is air flowing through the register
So, I can see two reasons why I'm not seeing a difference:
- The increase in pressure is so small that it is no different from noise at the pressure sensor (3 - 6 Pa noise)
- There is some fundamental flaw in the pressure sensor such that it is not able to detect the pressure changes in the ducts
Does anyone have a better explanation why there is no change in pressure at the registers?
