So, are you saying that you are trying to measure air flow rate using the garbage bag technique and your garbage bag is filling up in one second or less?

As far as air flow goes, if your air flow is too fast, you can have excessive noise from the air rushing through the ducts.

So, do you have reason to think that your air flow might be too fast to be efficient, or is it too fast to measure?

I'm still puzzled...
