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 SDW ceiling swirl diffusers have adjustable air control blades. The air pattern can be adjusted to meet different local requirements. Horizontal air discharge is one-way, two-way or omni directional. Vertical air discharge is possible but only for heating. The supply air to room air temperature difference may range from –12 to +10 K.

A damper blade (optional) simplifies volume flow rate balancing for commissioning. Pressure tap and cord-operated damper blade (optional) allow for volume flow rate balancing with the diffuser face in place.

To give rooms an aesthetic, uniform look, Type SDW diffusers may also be used for extract air. Air control blades are not required for extract air applications.

Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the volume flow rates and corresponding sound power levels and differential pressures. The minimum volume flow rates apply to a supply air to room air temperature difference of –6K. The maximum volume flow rates apply to a sound power level of approx. 50 dB (A) with damper blade position 0°. Exact values for all parameters can be determined with our Easy Product Finder design programme.


Ceiling swirl diffusers with square diffuser face. Supply air and extract air variants for comfort zones, for a maximum air change rate of 35 per hour. Diffuser face with individually manually adjustable air control blades for horizontal swirling supply air discharge creating high induction levels. For installation into all types of suspended ceilings.

Ready-to-install component which consists of the diffuser face with radially arranged, individually adjustable black or white air control blades, and of a plenum box, equalising element (only supply air variants), side entry or top entry spigot, cross bar, and suspension holes or suspension lugs.

The diffuser face is fixed to the cross bar with a central screw, concealed by a decorative cap.

  • INSTALLATION DETAILS
  • COMMISSIONING
  • BASIC INFORMATION AND NOMENCLATURE

Installation and commissioning

  • Preferably for rooms with a clear height up to 4.0 m
  • Flush ceiling installation
  • Horizontal or vertical duct connection
  • If necessary, carry out volume flow rate balancing with the damper blade


These are only schematic diagrams to illustrate installation details.

Volume flow rate balancing

When several diffusers are connected to just one volume flow controller, it may be necessary to balance the volume flow rates

  • Ceiling diffusers with plenum box and damper blade (variant -M): The diffuser face can be removed to access the damper blade; the damper blade can then be set to any position between 0 and 90°
  • Ceiling diffusers with horizontal plenum box, damper blade and pressure tap (variant -MN): The diffuser face need not be removed since the damper blade can be set with the cord


Volume flow rate measurement

Ceiling diffusers with plenum box, damper blade and pressure tap (variant -MN) allow for volume flow rate balancing even with the diffuser face in place.

  • Connect the measuring tube to the digital manometer
  • Read the effective pressure
  • Read the volume flow rate off the characteristic or calculate it
  • If necessary, adjust the damper blade position with the cord
