Configuration Operation of the RRA The RRA duct section linear diffuser can be installed at any point within a system and in any position: vertical, horizontal, etc. The air stream flows through the diffuser in the direction of the length, and the discharge air is intercepted perpendicularly by the lateral blades of the eccentric cylinders. Many duct section linear diffusers can be mounted in a continuous fashion, but the aeraulic balancing must then be completed by accessories and ductwork. Ducts Composition The slots hold eccentric ABS cylinders (black, cream or white) 100 mm in length. The cylinders are equipped with alphanumerical guides permitting the adjustment of the pattern of air diffusion in a 1800 range. The RRA diffuser is fabricated in diameters ranging from 200 mm up to 1419 mm. In order to maintain the circular shape of the ductwork, reinforcement pieces are installed inside all ducts longer than 433 mm. At each extremity, a circular EPDM seal is inserted into a groove to ensure proper sealing when many sections are to be mounted. The RRA diffuser is generally installed in a visible ventilation segment. It is recommended, for reasons of aesthetics among others, to use the same setup and finish for all accessories appearing in this same visible segment. Passive ducts without slots are available in the same sizes as the active RRA ducts. Assembling The RRA diffuser sections are assembled by use of connecting sleeves adapted to the duct's diameter. Accessories All standard RRA accessories (elbows, connecting sleeves, reducers, branches, etc) are available in precise duct sizes.

Balancing Airflow and Positioning Reducers In order to optimize uniform airflow in the RRA diffuser sections, we recommend installation of a reducer after the 5th active section (See 1 following). In order to preserve diameter uniformity of a diffusing section, a balancing damper can be used instead of the reducer after the 5th active section. We also recommend installing a balancing damper, either from the 4th section such as indicated (See 2). 1 x x x x Select the diameter of the conduit by considering a speed of air inlet 5 m/s or 1000 fpm. 2 1 perfored register 2 slot exterior wall of duct RRA eccentric drum section with register Subject to technical changes.

Control of the direction of the air jet Controling direction of air blast Due to the various depression zones created by the eccentric cylinder, airflow can be adjusted on the entire 1800 range.

Each project benefits from personalized adjustments made by the manufacturer in the plant. Standard setting for cylinders is as follows: diffused mode on alternating positions 2 1 and 6 5. This setting provides high induction that can be used during heating and cooling modes when high air changeover figures are needed. Figures A and B show the most frequently used settings. On the other hand, the divergent mode allows directing air blasts with more precision. This mode permits the production of a longer thrust of airflow. Specific zones, usually difficult to service, can in this way benefit from personalized settings. Figures C and D illustrate the position of the eccentric cylinder and the corresponding air blast direction discharging from the cylinder. It must be noted that to maximize air projection, multiple air blasts can be oriented in the same direction in order to optimize servicing a zone, even in heating mode.

What is the total airflow rate per metre of slot for every zone and the number of corresponding slots? 2. What is the level of sound power L WA? 3. What are the pressure drop of the installation? Solutions : 1. The total airflow rate per metre of slot depends on the rate diffused by RRA Zone 1: for an airflow rate per RRA of 520 m 3 /h 1 and a length of 1500 mm, the airflow rate by metre of slot is calculated thus: 520 m 3 /h x 0.77 = 400 m 3 /h/m. From diagram "Selecting the quantity of slots" on page 4, for a heating mode and a duct height of 4 m, we note the number of slots: n = 3. 2 Zone 2: in the same manner, the airflow rate per metre of slot section is calculated: 308 m 3 /h x 0.77 = 237 m 3 /h/m, we note the number of slots: n = 2. 2. From diagram "Sound Power", an adjustment of eccentric cylinders at 2 1/6 5 (diffused) and 3 slots per RRA: 400 m 3 /h/m 3 = 133m 3 /h/m L WA = L WA DIAGRAM + L WA = 37 + 6.8 = 43.8dB(A) - 10dB(A) = 33.8 db(a) 3 3.The pressure drops of the installation are due to air restriction through the cylinders and to friction of the air along the interior surfaces of the ductwork, linear pieces, elbows and reducers. 3.1Pressure drops at cylinders: from diagram "Pressure Drops"and an airflow rate per metre of slots of 133 m 3 /h/m, we note: P 3.1 = 35 Pa Zone 1, section 1 - The total length of 4 x active RRA of a diameter D = 657 mm is: L = 4 x 1500 mm = 6 m, where: P 3.2.1 = 6 m x 0.41 Pa/m = 2.5 Pa Zone 1, section 2 - The total length of 4 x active RRA and 1 x passive RRA of a diameter D = 505 mm is: L = 5 x 1500 mm = 7.5 m, where: P 3.2.2 = 7.5 m x 0.57 Pa/m = 4.3 Pa Zone 2 - The total length of 4 x RRA active of diameter D = 302 mm is : L = 4 x 1500 mm = 6 m, where: P 3.2.3 = 6 m x 1.06 Pa/m = 6.4 Pa -The total pressure loss of the ducts is: P 3.2 = 2.5 + 4.3 + 6.4 = 13 Pa 3.3 The pressure loss in reducers. The pressure loss equivalent in length for 2 reducers (α = 14 ) is: P L = 2 x 0.92 m = 1.84 m, where: P 3.3 = 1.82 m x 0.82 Pa/m = 1.5 Pa 3.4 The pressure loss in bends. The pressure loss equivalent in length for 2 90 elbow of a diameter D=505 mm is : P L = 2 x 5.13 m = 10.3 m, where: P 3.4 = 10.3 m x 0.57 Pa/m = 6 Pa Finally, the total pressure loss of the installation is: P 3 = P 3.1 + P 3.2 + P 3.3 + P 3.4 thus: P 3 = 55.5 Pa Note: For an installation height of 4 m, one single circular RRA duct will be sufficient to cover a width of 10 m. -The positioning of the slots at 00 (6 on the clock ) with a cylinder adjustment in A B / E F (diffused) 3.2 Pressure drops per diameter of linear ducts are: without sleeve 10 1.1.4 RRA Subject to technical changes.

Specifications of the RRA Model 1. Description and Physical Characteristics 1.1 RRA duct diffusers are made of satin-finish steel of 0.853 mm (22-gauge) for diameters under 508 mm and 1mm (20-gauge) for diameters equal to or over 508 mm. These are designed with slots that house integrated eccentric cylinders in ABS (black, cream or white). Cylinders come equipped with an alphanumerical guide disk designed to allow adjusting airflow diffusion patterns on a range of 180. 1.2 This same diffuser may be a passive one, that is, without slots and eccentric cylinders. 1.3 Each duct is painted inside with a baked polyester TGIC-base enamel which ensures a smooth easy-to-clean surface. Client or architect may choose among the standard colours of the RAL chart or select other colours on demand. (Painting inside is also available on demand) 1.4 The RRA circular duct diffuser is supplied with diameters ranging from 200 mm to 1419 mm. At each extremity of a RRA diffuser, an EPDM 65 DURO seal is inserted into a groove to ensure proper sealing before the ductwork leaves the plant. The sections of the RRA diffuser are joined together with connecting sleeves. 1.5 In order to optimize uniform airflow in the sections of RRA diffusers, balancing dampers can be installed right on the duct, otherwise reducers must be added between many sections. Dampers are mounted from the fourth section. 1.6 The ductwork has a surface with the smoothest finish possible and connecting joints as fine as possible (less than 3 mm), in order to present an architectural appearance of the highest standard. The diffusers are cleaned simply by using a duster set up on a telescopic aluminum pole, thereby eliminating the use of a maintenance platform or a high stepladder. 1.7 In order to ensure the circular form of the duct and to optimize the smooth exterior finish, metallic support pieces are installed inside the ductwork exceeding 433 mm (17 inches) in diameter. 2. Installation and Suspension Method 2.1 The RRA diffuser is suspended by thread bars supplied by the ventilation contractor. 3. Performance Manufacturer must also demonstrate for approval: 3.1 Performance curves indicating air velocity for the distance travelled, pressure drops and level of sound power generated by the RRA diffuser. 3.2 Simulation of airflow distance while factoring in physical layout of installation and state of comfort in occupied zones, in all three modes, that is, cooling, isothermal and heating. 4. Setting 4.1 Adjusting of eccentric cylinders is individually adapted to each application. This setting allows for comfortable ventilation in all the occupied zone with air velocities acceptable at head height (1.8 m). This setting must be made by manufacturer in the plant. 4.2 Each RRA diffuser is identified by a sticker. This marker carries the RRA section number, the airflow direction, the number of slots, and the setting of the eccentric cylinders. 4.3 In case of changes made to the layout of the premises, resetting the eccentric cylinders remains possible, even after installation of the RRA diffusers, in order to meet the new requirements in airflow diffusion. 4.4 Resetting the eccentric cylinders after installation of circular diffusers is must be implemented using the method proposed by the manufacturer. 5. Balancing 5.1 Balancing of the RRA diffusers must be accomplished by a technician qualified in ventilation system balancing with a certificate of professional competence. 5.2 The technician must be familiar with adjusting eccentric cylinders and with divergent and diffused modes, the data about which are available in our technical documents. 6. Required Quality: NAD Klima, RRA model. 2.2 As an option, thread bar covers in colours matching those of the ducts are available for a more finished look. 2.3 As another option, aluminum track suspension can also be supplied by the manufacturer. The aluminum track is suspended and the RRA diffuser is slid into the track, thus allowing a solution for various types of ceiling structures. The track can be painted to match the colour of the ductwork. 2.4 Another possibility is a metal cable suspension of "aviation cable " type, (7x7 or 7x19) in galvanized or stainless steel (304 or 316), of medium or high traction resistance that can be provided by the manufacturer 2.5 Standard accessories are supplied by the manufacturer (elbows, reducers, branches, etc).
