FD-Q Construction
FD-R Construction
The diffuser face of the type FD consists of fixed, radially

arranged air control blades. The supply air design has
specially arranged internal air guidance elements which are
not required on the extract version.
Due to the rotary swirling motion of the air discharge,
induction of room air occurs very quickly, resulting in rapid
decay of supply air velocity and temperature differential. Air
change rates of 30 per hour can be achieved with supply air
temperature differentials of +10K to 10K.
To stabilise horizontal discharge, all sizes must be mounted
flush with a ceiling.
The minimum mounting height between floor and diffuser
face is 2.60 m.

Construction Dimensions
If a circular diffuser face is ordered, the plenum box with side
entry spigot has a 35 mm extension piece fitted to the plenum.
Construction
Type FD swirl diffusers are available in 5 sizes.
Depending on the architectural requirements, the face plate
can be circular or square. The fixed air control blades on the
diffuser face are arranged radially.
The diffuser face can be attached or removed via a centre
fix screw into the plenum box. The screw head is covered
with a decorative cap. The plenum box can be supplied with
either top or side entry spigots and on request, with spigot
lip seals and volume control damper.
For simple adjustment of the volume flow, on request the

plenum box can be provided with a test connection for
measurement of a reference pressure and a volume control
damper operated by sheathed cables. The characteristic
curve of pressure reading versus volume flow rate for each
size of plenum box is supplied.
Note: If a larger size side entry plenum is fitted to a diffuser
face, this should be considered in relation to performance
(lower noise levels and pressure drop).

Materials Installation Assembly

Materials
Assembly
The diffuser face is made of galvanised sheet steel. The

surface is pre-treated and powder coated white (RAL 9010)
The plenum box is suspended by wires or slotted strips

using the drilled holes in the plenum return edge or hanging
brackets, when provided. For the side entry plenum box,
a self adhesive seal, supplied loose, must be fitted by the
client. The diffuser face is fitted to the plenum box by means
of centre fix screw locating in cross channel in the plenum
box.
The plenum boxes are galvanised sheet steel, the lip seal of
rubber.
Installation
All sizes are suitable for flush mounting into a ceiling.
If the diffuser is installed below a closed ceiling (i. e. freely
suspended) a stable discharge can be achieved if a peripheral
collar 50 mm is provided available on request.
Measurement of Reference Pressures

For simple adjustment of the volume flow, on request the
plenum box can be provided with a test connection for
measurement of a reference pressure and a volume control
damper operated by sheathed cables. The characteristic
curve of pressure reading versus volume flow rate for each
size of plenum box is supplied.
