Variable geometry vortex circular diffuser LD / LD-Q Description Variable geometry vortex circular diffuser for ceiling installation. The mechanism integrated into the hub allows you to simultaneously adjust the angle of deflection of the deflectors and therefore the divergence of the jet: the geometry of the launch may well vary continuously from horizontal swirling with Coanda effect up to completely vertical. It is commonly used in both civil and industrial applications, because allows to obtain a effective diffusion also from significant installation heights. Availability with manual mechanism (LD) or electric (LDE), also in execution on plate 595x595 mm (LD-Q, LDE-Q : up to Dn 400). Construction Natural aluminum painted (body), painted steel (deflectors). Finish White RAL 9010 gloss, powder-coated polyester. Accessories PLS-LD : standard plenum with perforated equalizer. PLSS-LD : as PLS-LD but with damper.* PLI-LD : isolated** plenum with perforated equalizer. PLIS-LD : as PLI-LD but with damper.* * adjustable from the environment. ** polyurethane internal isolation thickness. 6 mm, cl.1 Specifications of variable geometry Vortex circular diffuser for ceiling installation.

Variable geometry vortex circular diffuser LD / LD-Q Example You want to condition a room with dimensions 5x5x3,5 m. The summer specific load is 150 W/m2. - The power required for cooling will be : 5 * 5 * 150 = 3,75 kW - The total air volume assuming At = -8 °C will be : 3750 / (0,34 * 8) = 1380 m3/h - Supposing you divide the plant in 4 squares with 2.5 mt per side, you will have: q = 1380 / 4 = 345 m3/h d = 1,25 m > d = 0,9 m a = 51° (nearer to a2 because hi is nearer to h2) LwA = 32 dBA i F.C.R.

Variable geometry vortex circular diffuser LD / LD-Q Mounting scheme In the case the use of the plenum is not foreseen and the diffuser is connected directly to the circular duct, it is recommended to observe the following rules: the straight inlet section must be at least one diameter, Airflow calculation Due to the uneven distribution of speeds, you should position the probe for measuring the speed of vk at 5 points equally spaced radially. You must employ hotwire anemometers taking care to position the probe as shown and orient the “window” in parallel with the exhaust flow. At each point...
