Type FD

Product catalog summary
General Information:
Ceiling swirl diffusers, Type FD, are designed for high induction levels and high room air change rates, suitable for both supply and extract air in comfort zones. They feature a horizontal swirling air discharge for mixed flow ventilation and are available in circular and square designs with nominal sizes from 300 to 625 mm.
Specifications:
- Nominal sizes: 300, 400, 500, 600, 625 mm
- Volume flow rate range: 9 – 235 l/s or 31 – 846 m³/h
- Temperature difference: Supply air to room air from –12 to +10 K
- Materials: Diffuser face made of galvanized sheet steel, powder-coated
- Installation: Suitable for all ceiling systems, with options for freely suspended installation
Technical Data:
Ceiling swirl diffusers support large volume flow rates with minimal turbulence in occupied zones. They include fixed air control blades for horizontal omni-directional air discharge, with optional damper blades and pressure taps for volume flow rate balancing.
Variants:
- FD-Q: Square diffuser face
- FD-R: Circular diffuser face
- Connection options: Horizontal (H) or Vertical (V)
- Optional features: Damper blade, pressure tap, lip seal
Installation and Maintenance:
Diffusers are maintenance-free and designed for easy installation with a central fixing screw. They comply with EN ISO 5135 for sound power level measurement and VDI 6022 for inspection and cleaning.
Order Code:
The order code specifies type, construction style, system, connection, damper blade, accessories, nominal size, and exposed surface color. Example: FD–Q–Z–H–MN/500/P1–RAL 9016.
Dimensions and Weight:
Dimensions vary based on nominal size and connection type, with weights provided for supply air variants.
Product Details:
The document outlines the product details for ceiling swirl diffusers, including nominal sizes and effective air discharge areas for both FD-Q and FD-R models, ranging from 0.0088 m² to 0.0295 m².
Installation Procedures:
Installation details are provided for various ceiling types, including continuous ceilings, T-bar ceilings, and grid ceilings. The document describes the installation process, including the use of suspension holes, lugs, and self-adhesive sealing tape, as well as steps for flush ceiling and freely suspended installations.
Commissioning:
The document includes procedures for volume flow rate balancing and measurement, using a universal plenum box with a damper blade and pressure tap. Instructions are provided for adjusting the damper blade and measuring effective pressure with a digital manometer.
Basic Information and Nomenclature:
The document defines key terms and dimensions related to ceiling swirl diffusers, such as outer diameters, heights, and effective air discharge areas. It also explains nomenclature for sound power levels, volume flow rates, and temperature differences.
Key Parameters:
- Nominal sizes: 300 mm to 625 mm
- Effective air discharge areas: 0.0088 m² to 0.0295 m²
- Installation height: up to 4.0 m
- Volume flow rate balancing with damper blade positions from 0° to 90°
- Sound power levels based on 1 pW

Type FD-4

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 FD ceiling swirl diffusers have fixed blades. ​ Air discharge...
