 TECHNICAL DATA TECHNICAL DATA

Definitions:
Air Pattern
Throw of a jet is the distance an airstream travels from the air outlet to a point where the maximum velocity in the
airstream cross section has been reduced to a selected terminal velocity.

Throw Distance of a jet is denoted by Tv, where subscript V indicates the terminal velocity for which the throw is given.

Characteristic Room Length (L) is the distance from the diffuser to the nearest boundary wall in the horizontal
direction of airflow. However, if the airflow is directed to the opposite diffuser, the characteristic room length is one-
half the distance between two diffusers plus the distance the mixed air jet travels downward to reach the occupied
zone.

Terminal Velocity (Vt) is the maximum sustained airstream velocity at the end of the throw (e.g. 150, 100, 50 fpm).
2- Way Horizontal Throw 1- Way Horizontal Throw
Discharge or Intake Velocity (Vk) of an outlet or inlet (in fpm) is the velocity of airstream measured at certain locations
between the outlet’s or inlet’s vanes.

Area Factor (Ak) of an air outlet or inlet is a factor determined from discharge or intake velocity (Vk)
and the volume flow rate (Q in CFM).
Ak = Q/Vk

Throw Data:
All throws indicated in the performance data are based on isothermal air and 3 feet diffuser slot length. For other
lengths, the throws can be determined in Table 1.
