Launched in early 2010 in cooperation with TROX HESCO, Switzerland, the company's latest line of displacement flow diffusers have proven effective and efficient in a variety of applications in the U.S., including schools and airports.
According to engineers, the diffusers are particularly effective in high ceiling applications, such as airports, auditoriums and large convention centers, but can also be very effective in smaller spaces, such as classrooms, because of the product's short adjacent zone, high contaminant removal capacity, low-noise and low-maintenance construction.
Meeting Architectural Demands
Produced in TROX USA's Georgia-based factory, there are more than 20 standard versions in a variety of shapes and colors, providing easier integration into interior designs to meet a broad range of architectural demands.
Contaminant & Heat Removal Benefits
Because displacement systems can reduce ambient CO2 levels, they are commonly found in classrooms, patient rooms and waiting areas. With their ability to isolate rising heat plumes to the upper levels of a space, displacement systems are also a good solution for high ceiling areas such as atriums, airport terminals and other large transportation halls and are highly effective in spaces where odor removal from heat sources is required like restaurants and casinos.
How it Works
The specially perforated faceplate results in discharge airflow with a low turbulence and reduced downstream velocity. Behind the faceplate, geometrically arranged nozzles with integral air deflector scoops are installed to provide optimal flow equalization across the diffuser face by extracting and turning the supply airflow perpendicular to the diffuser face. Every nozzle provides a constant flow rate from the passing airflow and directs it to the faceplate.
Results
Optimum comfort conditions combined with excellent acoustics and a uniform velocity profile over the entire outlet makes the new TROX displacement flow diffusers the ideal solution for meeting the highest standards in comfort.
