• N = Nominal size.
• 630 mm dia diffuser available only in steel.
• All the dimensions are in mm.

Air pattern:

Horizontal air pattern

• Pattern is obtained by extending the cones

down wards.
• This arrangement handles more capacity
of air with increased induction and uni-
form air distribution

Vertical air pattern

• Pattern is obtained by retracting the cones

upwards.
• Air is delivered vertically without much
induction.
• Suitable for localized cooling in condi-
tioned area and for higher altitudes.
