For installation into steps and floor areas with no foot traffic

Circular and square staircase swirl diffusers

  • Nominal size 180 mm
  • Volume flow rate range 10 – 25 l/s or 36 – 90 m³/h
  • Diffuser face made of sheet steel, powder-coated
  • For variable and constant volume flows

Optional equipment and accessories

  • Exposed diffuser face available in RAL CLASSIC colours
  • Spigot
  • Cross bar

Application

Application

  • Type SD staircase swirl diffusers are primarily used as supply air diffusers for comfort conditioning applications
  • For auditoriums in theatres, cinemas or concert halls
  • Supply air discharge directly to the occupied zone
  • Swirling air discharge, either parallel to the installation surface or angled, for mixed flow ventilation
  • The efficient swirl creates high induction levels, thereby rapidly reducing the temperature difference and airflow velocity (supply air variant)
  • For variable and constant volume flows
  • For supply air to room air temperature differences from –6 to +6 K
  • For false floors and positive pressure plenums
  • Installation into the risers of steps or into horizontal or sloping floor areas which do not carry foot traffic

Special characteristics

  • High induction results in a rapid reduction of the temperature difference and airflow velocity
  • Air discharge either parallel to the installation surface or angled
  • Excellent air quality since the supply air is discharged directly to the occupied zone
  • Installation into the risers of steps and into floor areas which do not carry foot traffic

Nominal sizes

  • 180

Functional description

Staircase 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. Staircase swirl diffusers supply the air directly to the occupied zone and even to individual room occupants. The result is mixed flow ventilation for comfort zones and an excellent air quality in the occupied zone.

Type SD staircase swirl diffusers have fixed blades. Different attachments are available to influence the air pattern and adapt it to local requirements. A spigot can be used to achieve air discharge parallel to the installation surface, while a cross bar can be used to achieve angled air discharge. The air pattern should be such that the air does not blow onto the feet of people sitting near the diffuser. If staircase swirl diffusers are placed underneath seats or vertically in the steps between seats, angled air discharge is recommended. If diffusers are placed in the steps below the seats, parallel air discharge is recommended. The supply air to room air temperature difference may range from –6 to +6 K.
