Let us do the sum with the Kita X airflow: through a 20-centimetre hole the air would have to pass at 121 km\/h, more than a hurricane on the Beaufort scale; with 40 centimetres at 30 km\/h, with 60 at 13 km\/h. That is why units with holes in the wall have little output, or need openings as big as a window.
