Product catalog summary
Mixing Ventilation Overview
Mixing ventilation aims to distribute supply air evenly across a space to maintain uniform thermal conditions and contaminant concentrations. Airflow rates are determined by heat or humidity balance calculations or by diluting air contaminants through air exchange. Compliance with building codes for outdoor air ventilation rates is essential. Effective air diffusion is crucial to avoid stagnant zones and ensure proper ventilation efficiency.
  • Sufficient supply and exhaust air flow rates
  • Appropriate diffuser and jet type selection
  • Adaptable positioning of supply and exhaust units
  • Vertical or horizontal zoning to limit air diffusion
Diffuser Types and Selection
Air diffusion depends on factors such as airflow rate, temperature difference, diffuser type, location, and interaction with other air currents. Various diffuser types include perforated, jet, conical, swirl, linear slot, and floor diffusers. The selection aims to achieve good ventilation effectiveness, acceptable air velocity, and comfortable thermal conditions while respecting acoustic requirements. Installation options include ceiling, wall, floor, and window sill installations.
Jet Directions and Types
Jet behavior is influenced by jet type, direction, airflow rate, and temperature difference. Important factors include interaction with other jets and air flows, and obstacles in the airflow path. Jet types can be adapted to specific applications, such as radial to compact or plane to compact. Key design values for air jets include throw length, distance of jet detachment, minimum distance between diffusers, and air velocity and temperature differences in the occupied zone.
Quick Selection and Design Considerations
Quick-selection tables provide characteristics like throw length, distance of jet detachment, and minimum distance between diffusers. Diffuser size is selected based on throw length relative to the distance to walls. Design considerations ensure that jets do not detach from the ceiling prematurely and that distances between diffusers and obstacles are adequate. An example scenario includes room dimensions, airflow rate, temperature, sound level requirements, and diffuser specifications.

Distance of jet detachment, L > d The distance of jet detachment (L > d ) is the distance from the diffuser centreline at which the air jet detaches from the ceiling and starts to fall downward. It is useful when cool air is supplied into the space. Minimum distance between diffusers, L > min The minimum distance between two diffusers, distance, L Minimum distance between diffuser and flow obstacle The minimum distance (L > min , is the minimum distance necessary between diffuser centrelines for achieving air velocities below 0.25 m/s in the occupied zone. Note that when two jets collide before...
