General information

Application

Type RFD ceiling swirl diffusers are used as supply air or extract air diffusers for comfort zones
Attractive design element for building owners and architects with demanding aesthetic requirements
Horizontal swirling supply air discharge for mixed flow ventilation
The efficient swirl creates high induction levels, thereby rapidly reducing the temperature difference and airflow velocity (supply air variant)
For variable and constant volume flows
For supply air to room air temperature differences from – 12 to + 10 K
For room heights up to 4 m (lower edge of suspended ceiling)
For all types of ceiling systems
With an extended border and discharge nozzle also suitable for freely suspended installation (supply air variant)

Special characteristics

Low sound power level, ideal for comfort zones
Fixed blades
For all types of ceiling systems
Horizontal or vertical duct connection
Air change rates of up to 35 per hour can be achieved by arranging several diffusers in a row with a minimum pitch of 0.9 m (centre line to centre line)

Functional description

Ceiling swirl diffusers allow the supply air from ventilation systems to flow into the room in a swirl pattern. The resulting airflow induces high levels of room air, thereby rapidly reducing the airflow velocity and the temperature difference between supply air and room air. Ceiling swirl diffusers allow for large volume flow rates. The result is a mixed flow ventilation in comfort zones, with good overall room ventilation, creating only very little turbulence in the occupied zone.

Type RFD ceiling swirl diffusers have fixed blades. Air discharge is horizontal with an omni-directional flow. The supply air to room air temperature difference may range from –12 to +10 K.

A damper blade (optional) simplifies volume flow rate balancing for commissioning. Pressure tap and cord-operated damper blade (optional) allow for volume flow rate balancing with the diffuser face in place.

To give rooms an aesthetic, uniform look, Type RFD diffusers may also be used for extract air.
