Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive details on Type RFD ceiling swirl diffusers, designed for both supply and extract air in comfort and industrial zones. These diffusers facilitate mixed flow ventilation with horizontal swirling air discharge, ensuring high induction levels that quickly reduce temperature differences and airflow velocity.
Specifications: Available in nominal sizes of 125, 160, 200, 250, 315, and 400 mm, the diffusers support volume flow rates from 4 to 330 l/s or 14 to 1188 m³/h. They are suitable for room heights up to 4 meters and can manage supply air to room air temperature differences from -12 to +10 K. The diffuser face is made from galvanised sheet steel or aluminium and can be powder-coated in RAL CLASSIC colours.
Functionality: Featuring fixed air control blades for horizontal omni-directional air discharge, these diffusers can achieve air change rates of up to 35 per hour when arranged in a row with a minimum pitch of 0.9 m. Optional equipment includes a plenum box with a cord-operated damper blade and pressure tap for volume flow rate balancing.
Variants and Connections: Variants include square (RFD-Q) and circular (RFD-R) diffuser faces, with or without discharge nozzles. Connection options include vertical duct connections with duct collars or transition pieces, and horizontal connections with plenum boxes, catering to different installation needs.
Technical Data: Quick sizing tables provide volume flow rates, sound power levels, and differential pressures for various configurations. The sound power level of air-regenerated noise is measured according to EN ISO 5135 standards.
Construction and Materials: Constructed with spigots suitable for circular ducts to EN 1506 or EN 13180 standards, materials include aluminium and galvanised sheet steel for the diffuser face, with optional rubber lip seals for enhanced sealing.
Maintenance: The diffusers are maintenance-free due to their robust construction and materials, which are not subject to wear. Inspection and cleaning should adhere to VDI 6022 guidelines.
Order and Customization: An order code system is included for specifying diffuser type, construction style, connection type, damper blade options, accessories, nominal size, and exposed surface finish. Customization options allow for tailored solutions to meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
Ceiling Swirl Diffusers Overview:

Variants and Specifications:
The document details various ceiling swirl diffuser models, including RFD-Q-D-A, RFD-R-K, RFD-R-D-K, RFD-R-US, RFD-R-D-US, RFD-R-UO, RFD-R-D-UD, and RFD-R-A. Each variant is designed for specific applications, with options for square or circular diffuser faces and discharge nozzles to enhance aerodynamic and acoustic performance. Nominal sizes range from 125 to 400 mm.

Construction Features:
All models are equipped with spigots suitable for circular ducts conforming to EN 1506 or EN 13180 standards. Optional features include damper blades for volume flow rate balancing, pressure taps, and lip seals.

Dimensions and Weight:
Detailed dimensions and weights for each diffuser model are provided, including specific measurements for components like spigots, diffuser faces, and plenum boxes.

Installation Details:
Installation can be flush with the ceiling or freely suspended, with options for horizontal or vertical duct connections. Specific instructions are provided for installation in T-bar, grid, and continuous ceilings.

Commissioning and Volume Flow Rate Balancing:
Guidelines for balancing volume flow rates are included, particularly when multiple diffusers are connected to a single volume flow controller. The document describes the use of damper blades and pressure taps for precise adjustments.

Volume Flow Rate Measurement:
Instructions for measuring volume flow rates using a digital manometer are provided, along with calculations for air density adjustments.

Basic Information and Nomenclature:
The document concludes with a glossary of terms and principal dimensions used throughout the text, such as outer diameters, heights, and effective air discharge areas.

Ceiling swirl diffusers Functional description Ceiling swirl diffusers in air conditioning systems create a swirl to supply air to rooms. 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 omni...
