This is taken from a list of technical characteristics of a heat recovery unit. It is a unit used to describe pressure, and I expect mm stands for millimeters of mercury by have no idea what cda would stand for. Thanks for the help. Here's the sample text...
– Qv = Caudal en m3/h y en m3/s.
– Pe = Presión estática en ***mm.c.d.a*** y Pa.
– Pabs = Potencia absorbida a la velocidad máxima (W).
– Aire seco normal a 20 °C y 760 mm c.d. Hg.
– Ensayos realizados de acuerdo a Normas UNE 100-212-89 BS 848,
