What is Pressure Drop?

The loss in static pressure across a component. For filters it rises with efficiency and falls with surface area, which is why a deep media cabinet can run a higher MERV at lower resistance than a one-inch filter. It also rises steeply as a filter loads — a filter left in too long can restrict airflow more than a new filter two grades higher would.
