pag. A-5 Linear cylinder diffuser LC Description Linear rotating cylinder diffuser for ceiling or wall installation. Each slot houses inside a range of cylinders, that, by rotation, allow differents launch configurations. Compared to the traditional linear slot diffuser, it offers more flexibility and best performances. In fact, it s possible to guarantee comfortable environment s conditions (absence of air-flows) also in presence of high specific loads, due to the jet splitting (alternate throw), which allows a fast reduction of velocity. Characterized by pressure drops and limited noise levels, thanks to the big versatility, it s used both for cooling and for heating both for ceiling and for wall. To maintain the aesthetic uniformity, the LFR (LF) linear diffuser can be used for intake.

Linear cylinder diffuser LC pag. A-5 Other versions LCSB: like LC but without lateral frame, for plasterboard installation. B-0 For wall installations it is used the plenum type C, with the wall hanging of the plenum or ceiling hanging and diffuser s fixing to the plenum through apposite screws, through slots. Schema di montaggio The basic mounting scheme provides the employment of plenum type A with hanging of the diffuser to the ceiling through specific brackets. These allow also the diffuserplenum junction (with gasket). The regulation damper can be controlled through a fine tool (for ex.: screwdriver). As alternative, by employment of plenum type B, it s possible to fix diffuser to plenum, working on special suspension screws, through rotating slots.

pag. A-56 Launch configuration By adequate cylinder s positioning (which have asymmetric profile) into the slot and by using the proper reference marks, it s possible to obtain the following diffusion geometries: Linear cylinder diffuser LC ) Horizontal bilateral ceiling diffusion with alternate throw and without Coanda effect. ) Horizontal bilateral ceiling diffusion with alternate throw and Coanda effect (alternate tangent). It s the standard configuration. Cylinders are disposed so that the consecutive elements could generate opposite directions launches. This allows elementary stable jet splitting, with larger induction s surface, compared to the traditional linear slot diffusers, and then a faster reduction of velocity and temperature difference. The vein adhere to the ceiling and to the walls, in the conventionally occupied zone with a residual velocity that must be the plan s one. It s the alternative configuration to the ) when installation height or distance from walls don t allow its employment (inadequate residual velocity in the conventionally occupied volume). Cylinders are disposed so that the consecutive elements could generate wide apart launches without Coanda effect (angles between jets ). The elementary stable jets splitting, offers a larger induction s surface and then a faster reduction of velocity and temperature difference.
Linear cylinder diffuser LC pag. A-57 ) Vertical ceiling diffusion. 4) Alternate throw wall diffusion. It s the maximum vertical penetration configuration. Cylinders are disposed so that vertical elementary jets could form a single front. It represents the alternative solution to the traditionals wall grilles. Cylinders are disposed so that the consecutive elements could generate wide apart launches (angles between jets ). The elementary stable jets splitting, ensure a faster reduction of speed and temperature difference.
pag. A-58 It s otherwise possible to opt for mixed configurations, by adequated match of the previous cases and proper cylinder disposition. For example it s possible to orient a part of the jet to the ceiling and another part along the wall, however keeping alternate throw. Linear cylinder diffuser LC 5) Diffusion witnterruption fringes (closed cylinder). Sometimes it can be useful to rotate cylinders until complete slot closure: this option increases even more the diffuser s versatility. For example in case of vertical launch, when you want to increase the penetration through throw s velocity increment, or in case of unexpected obstacle, in correspondence of which, it becomes necessary to nullify the jet.

Correction factors In the case of diverging horizontal ceiling diffusion or alternating wall diffusion, consider a pressure drop increase equal to 70%. In the case of vertical exhaust, consider a pressure drop increase equal to 60%. ote The minimum distance from wall d has been determined so that the residual velocity in the occupied volume does not exceed 0,0 m/s. Velocity probes have been disposed at 0,6 m distance from wall, and at a height from floor corresponding to UI-E-ISO 776 norm. In the case project concerns diffusers disposed on parallel rows, it s recommended to consider d as minimum wheelbase. d (m) P (Pa) 6 5 4 0 80 70 60 0 5 0 =4,0 m =,5 m =,0 m =,5 m 00 0 60 80 00 00 0 60 80 00

The probe must be positioned as shown in the picture, in correspondence to cylinders middle line, orienting the window against the flow. Reference cylinders are: 5 and 6 for L = 000 mm, 4, 5,, for L = 0 mm, 5, 6, 5, 6 for L = 000 mm (result is the same counting from right or from left). In each point, the average velocity must be measured in a minimum breaktime of at least minute (average in time). In order to obtain the air-fow, calculate the arithmetic average of the so measured values (ṽ k ), and multiply it for value A k, carried in the table, which refers only to diffusion with alternate tangent throw. 0 00 0 4 0 A k (m ) = = = =4 L=000 mm 0,0095 0,05 0,04 0,05 L=0 mm 0,04 0,00 0,05 0,047 L=000 mm 0,090 0,006 0,0468 0,060 7 6 =,5 m = ṽ k x A k x 600 5 d (m) 4 =,0 m =,5 m =4,0 m 0 00 0 4 0 45 P (Pa) 5 0 5 0 00 0 4 0
