Restrictors for adjusting the air flow rate Calculate the flow rate and pressure drop with the aid of the calculation program (download from www.viessmann.de) prior to installation. Individual rings are knocked out of the restrictors to adjust the flow rate. How many rings need to be knocked out depends on the pressure drop calculation.
