Construction Details and Dimensions

Plenum box details:

TECNALCO acoustically lined plenum box is used for evenly distributing cool air over the surface of the
linear diffuser with minimum noise turbulance, thereby maintaining correct performance characteristics.
If saves fabrication and installation labour.
Plenums are manufactured to suit the full range of linear diffusers from 1 to 8 slots.
All joints are welded and sealed for air tight functioning which adds to maintain rigidity.
Internal baffles are perforated sheet or splitters to suit the design, or a combination of both in special cases.
Maximum one piece length is 1500 mm. Above this length plenum are supplied in multiple sections of ever
length each provided with an intel spigot.

Material:
Plenum box is manufactured from galvanised sheet steel of 0.7 mm thickness and internally lined insulation
is of 25 mm thickness mineral fibre.

This model gives an air flow pattern which is adjustable from full left to full right by simply adjusting
the deflection blades (Hit and miss damper). This can be easily done before or after insallation.
This high capacity unit has been designed to serve the performance oriented market of today.
Air flow capacity can be controlled by the integral volume damper or intel spigot damper in the plenum box.

ENGINEERING AND PERFORMANCE DATA

Sound level

The sound level of a linear slot diffuser is in direct ratio to the velocity of the air passing through it. due to
the reduced sound level of SLD diffusers, air passing through a properly selected outlet will not add any
appreciable noise to the sound level of the general air conditioning system. When hit and miss damper or
integral damper is partially closed for balancing pyrposes, noise level can increase in function of the
importance of the air distributing network. For distrivuting network extending more than 50 meter, basic
balancing should be made by volume control dampers in the ducting. adjustment of deflection blades does
not add any complementary sound level. Final should attenuation in the distributing system can be obtained
inside sound insualation in the plenum boxes.

In order to obtain reasonable sound level, velocity in the outlet should be selected as follows:
Ceiling height
3 m - max 3 m/sec.
4 m - max 4 m/sec.
4.5 m. - max 5 m/sec.

Test Results from ETL

The tests were conducted, by the ETL Testing Laboratories on the selected sizes of the Linear slot Diffusers.
The Linear Slot Diffusers had nominal 20 mm wide slots. Each slot was equipped with 2 deflector vanes (Hit
and Miss Damper) which could be adjusted to provide air flow in any direction from horizontal to vertical.
The intel to each slot contained a sloted slide damper (Integral volume damper). The dampers were set to
the full open position for all tests. The test results include Total pressure, Area factor, Throw pattern and
Soundpowder level.
Test method : The diffusers were tested in accordance with Air Diffusion Council Test Code for Grilles,
Air volume q : Registers and Diffusers ADC 1062: GRD-84. The diffusers were installed in the ADC facility
v
and supplied with measured volumes of air. The static Pressure was measured 1-1/2 duct
diameters upstream of the diffuser intel.
Throw T : Air volumes are given in Lt/sec.
NC values : The throw values given in the tables are related to the ceiling diffuser placed nearer to the
[Link] throw values are given for each qv to the corresponding terminal velocities Vt.
NC values : Minimum Throw 0.75 m/sec. Vt
Middle Throw 0.50 m/sec. Vt
Maximum Throw 0.25 m/sec. Vt
NC values : Noise data is given in terms of NC levels. These have been derived from sound power level

data (dB re 10 watts) by subtracting 10 dB ( Room effect) from the sound power levels.

Outlet size : Outlet sizes are mentioned on the left side of each row in terms of number of slots x 1 m
