Continuous Slot Diffusers Model CS-F
Introduction
The Ravistar continuous slot diffusers series CS-F has for
many years set the industry standard in terms of highest
aerodynamic and acoustic performance. The model CS-F
range is ideally suited to variable volume applications due to
its excellent low flow rate air diffusion characteristics and
high air handling capacity. The novel air pattern control
element design allows any air pattern to be produced from 2
way horizontal diffusion to vertical projection, without any
change in the facial appearance.
CS-F diffusers are suitable for all commercial and industrial
projects requiring single or multislot diffusers for ceilings,
bulkheads or sidewall supply and exhaust.

Description

Specification

Diffusers
Linear Diffusers - Model DSL
Introduction
Large format linear diffusers are ideal for most commercial
supply and exhaust systems and integrate well with ceiling tile
and lighting layouts. The clean design provides an extremely
low air resistance characteristic and this makes the diffuser
ideal for any fan coil or induction system which is pressure
sensitive. Single or multislot diffusers are available with fixed 1
or 2 way air patterns; multi-slot 2 way diffusers may be adjusted
to suit site conditions by changing vanes. Pattern control vanes
may be easily removed for installation, access or cleaning.
A range of plenum chambers to suit DSL diffusers is available
as an option.

Description

Installation

Accessories

Standard fixing for 2 to 8 slot diffusers is by means of

mounting brackets which are fitted into plenum chambers (or
hemmed ducts). After removing the inner vanes the diffuser
is raised up to the fixed plenum chamber or duct through the
ceiling opening and fixed to the mounting brackets with screws
provided; this system allows for a tolerance of 25mm between
duct and ceiling levels. Finally replace inner vanes.
Continuous diffusers are supplied with alignment strips for
each vane and frame section.

Diffusers
Basis of data
Laminar flow diffuser airstreams are characterised by the
tendency to reduce in sectional area from the point of
discharge, particularly with high cooling differentials. Although
this produces a slight initial increase in the core velocity,
friction between the airstream boundary and the static room
air offsets this, the net result being to maintain a near constant
air velocity at distances up to 2.5m from the face. This
characteristic is reflected in the data presentation of tables 1
and 2 which give information on the face discharge velocity
and the average airstream velocity over this distance. The
discharge velocity is based on an average number of vane
anemometer readings at the face plate, whilst the airstream
velocity is derived from time averaged readings with a 15
probe array at distances of 1m and 2m from the face. In the
case of the latter, data is given for cooling differentials of 3K,
5K and 10K.

The temperature diffusion data presented in table 3 can be

used to determine the approximate airstream temperature
by adding the indicated temperature rise to the discharge air
temperature.
The acoustic data shown in table 5 is presented in terms of
sound power based NR levels. To obtain the resulting NRIp
level in the occupied zone, room absorption factors should
be applied as appropriate to the installation conditions.

Selection Example
Diffuser selection criteria will be dependent on the application,
but as a general guide most sedentary occupants would be
tolerant of airstream velocities up to 0.25m/s if the air temperature
is 1-2OC below that in the room. In applications where there are
concentrated heat sources or where the occupants are mostly
transitory, this can generally be increased to 0.35 - 0.5m/s.
As an example, consider the use of a 1200 x 600 diffuser in an
operating theatre where the cooling differential is to be 5K with a
supply air temperature of 17OC.

Reference to table 2 shows that the maximum air flow rate to

achieve an average airstream velocity of 0.25m/s would be
140ltrs/s. Airstream temperatures at distances of 1m and 2m
from the diffuser face can be found from table 3; in this case, at
140ltrs/s, the supply air temperature will rise by 3.5OC and 4.5OC
respectively, giving moving air temperatures of 20.5OC and
21.5OC at the two heights.
The diffuser noise level can be found from table 5, which,
assuming a fully open damper, would be less than NRIw20 at
140l/s.

Diffusers
Hi-Flo Jet Diffusers - Model RWH
Introduction
Series RWH diffusers have been designed to handle high air
flow rates and provide relatively long throws which makes
them particularly suitable for conditioning of large spaces
such as halls, auditoria, terminal buildings, warehouses and
factories.
The diffusers are versatile in application by virtue of the novel
reversible and rotatable core design which allows the air jet
to be adjusted for both pattern and deflection. Units may be
mounted individually or in banks in bulkhead arrangements
or directly into stub ducts.

RWH-P

RWH (JET SETTING)

Description
Units are constructed from aluminium spinnings supported
on a studding and spacer assembly. The core may be rotated
through 180O to expose either a straight or diffused core
assembly. In addition, the diffuser spigot may be rotated within
the mounting plate (if supplied) to enable a full 360O
adjustment, by releasing the tension bolts.

Types
RWH - Complete assembly includes diffuser core and
mounting plate (wall or ceiling mounting).
RWH-P - Diffuser core only (suitable for mounting onto bulkheads or stub ducts thus eliminating the large mounting plate).

RWH (DIFFUSER SETTING)

Features

Simple and effective air diffusion for large spaces.

Long throw characteristics.
High air handling capacity.
Easy to install and adjust.
Reversible core to produce long throw jet or short throw
diffuser patterns.
Core rotatable through 360OC for eyeball jet direction.
Jet may be deflected off axis by up to 15O.
Available in three sizes.
Multiple outlet arrangements.

Diffusers
Spot Diffusers / Jet Nozzles Model RSD
Introduction
Spot Diffusers / Jet Nozzles are used for preference where
the supply air from the diffuser has to travel a large distance
to the occupied zone. This is the case in large areas (large
halls, warehouses, shopping malls, assembly rooms etc.),
particularly where the supply of air via ceiling diffusers is not
possible or not practical. These diffusers / nozzles can be
installed in the ceilings or side walls.
The supply air direction can be changed by the swivel
movement of the diffuser / nozzle within a range 40 in
both the planes.

Description
Units are constructed from aluminium spinnings supported
on the flange assembly which can be fixed to the duct collar
or suitable frame.

Finish
Standard a) Epoxy Polyester Powder Coated off white/pure
white.
b) Natural anodised.
Other powder coating finishes available on request.

Features

Simple and effective air diffusion for large spaces.

Ideal for large air volumes & long throws.

Swirl Diffusers - Model WTF
Introduction
Ravistar range of fixed blade swirl diffusers presents an
attractive and aerodynamically efficient alternative to
conventional circular or square ceiling air terminals.
The diffusers are designed to produce a horizontal, radial
air pattern with a turbulent, high induction jet characteristic
and are ideally suited for applications with high heating or
cooling differentials.
Manufactured from press formed aluminium blades, the units
are available in two neck / nominal sizes 200, 315mm with
out to out size of 595 x 595mm suitable for tile replacement.
The face plates are manufactured from 16 swg aluminium
sheet, powder coated to give a durable and clean surface.

Controls
Side entry plenums are optionally available with spigot
mounted quardrant.

Performance
Basis of data
Jet throw data is expressed in terms of maximum and
minimum throws based on terminal velocities (Vt) of 0.2m/s
and 0.5m/s. These correspond to average air velocities (Vr)
in the occupied zone of 0.1 m/s and 0.2m/s respectively and
are applicable to room heights ranging from 2.7 - 3.0m. Data
is based on a 10OC cooling differential. For isothermal or 10OC
heating conditions apply a factor of 1.15 to the throws.
Acoustic data is for a duct mounted diffuser in terms of sound
pressure based NR levels and assumes a room absorption
factor of 8dB. A correction of NR2 should be added for
diffusers fitted with side entry plenums.
Additional octave band data is available upon request.
Pressure loss data is shown in terms of static pressure loss
(Pa) measured at the supply duct to the diffuser.
For diffusers installed in plenums, increase the pressure by
a factor of 1.25.
