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 directional. 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 RFD diffusers may also be used for extract air.

Nominal sizes

125, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400 mm

Minimum volume flow rate, with ΔtZ = –6 K 

4 – 36 l/s or 14 – 130 m³/h

Maximum volume flow rate, with LWA ≅ 50 dB(A)

22 – 330 l/s or 79 – 1188 m³/h

Supply air to room air temperature difference

–12 to +10 K


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 –6 K.

The maximum volume flow rates apply to a sound power level of approx. 40 dB (A) with damper blade position 0°.

Exact values for all parameters can be determined with our Easy Product Finder design programme.
