Engineering question

The intake path had to provide controlled resistance across changing environments and high throughput while keeping local geometry and branch distribution traceable.

Model & approach

  • Track system resistance at defined stations and operating states
  • Compare section, routing and multi-branch variants with a common pressure balance

Boundary conditions

  • Several environmental and throughput conditions
  • Single- and multi-branch systems with project-specific filters, pipes and interfaces

Results of the assessment

  • The staged project sequence separated total resistance, local loss sources and branch distribution.
  • Follow-up variants could be compared directly with their baseline under consistent boundaries.

Engineering consequence

The consolidated studies supported section choice, local refinement and system routing without turning a single metric into a marketing claim.
