How VentCoach Works
Built on validated physics principles and advanced numerical methods
Physical Foundation
Bernoulli's Principle
Predicts airflow patterns through openings based on pressure-velocity relationships
Thermal Buoyancy
Temperature differences create natural upward air movement (stack effect)
MYT Pressure Factor
Dimensionless parameter (0-1) quantifying thermal load effectiveness based on vertical distribution
Neutral Plane
Critical elevation where internal and external pressures equalize
Computational Engine
Trust-Region Algorithm
Advanced iterative solver for complex multi-zone configurations
Mass Balance Iteration
Ensures conservation of air mass with temperature-dependent density
Temperature Stratification
Calculates realistic vertical temperature profiles
Pressure Profile Integration
Determines complete vertical pressure distribution
How to Use VentCoach

Developed by Industry Experts
VentCoach is developed by GAL Ventilation GmbH, a company with over 60 years of experience in industrial ventilation. The calculation algorithm at the heart of VentCoach was initially developed 30 years ago as a single-zone model and has evolved over time into this modern multi-zone system, now available to the public.
