    The Science Behind Venturi Valves

    Venturi valves operate based on the Venturi effect, a fluid dynamic principle that states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. The valve’s unique design creates a pressure drop, resulting in a proportional relationship between the valve’s opening and the airflow rate. This allows for precise control of airflow and pressure in critical environments.
